Mark 9–16: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary (MNTC)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
“The gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Those words not only begin Mark’s gospel, but they also capture one of its most important themes—one that builds throughout the first eight chapters until it reaches its climax in Mark 8:29, where Peter acknowledges, “You are the Christ.”
Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. Taking into account the cultural, theological, and Old Testament contexts of each passage, MacArthur tackles interpretive challenges and fairly evaluates differing views, giving the reader confidence in his conclusions.
The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk.

Top Highlights
“First, their wealth gives them a false sense of security” (Page 83)
“What is clear from the passage is that the widow is not the hero of the story but the victim, duped into giving all she had by the false promise of Jewish legalism that doing so would bring blessing. She is a tragic example of how the corrupt religious system mistreated widows, and that is what connects this passage with the judgment passages that precede and follow it.” (Page 222)
“Second, they are also consumed with the things of the world, and where their treasure is, their hearts will be also (Matt. 6:21).” (Page 83)
“The salvation of such children is as a powerful an illustration of the biblical truth that salvation is by grace alone as any reality.” (Page 64)
“The people, however, were not pleading for salvation from sin but for blessing, prosperity, and deliverance from Roman rule and oppression.” (Page 127)
