The Lesson Iri Its Setting Time—The first passage, mid -sum- mer of A.D. e8, the second year of Christ's ministeys the second passage Apzil A.D. 29, in the third year of His ministry.. • Place—Some unnamed region on theshore of the Sea of Galilee; the 'area, the north-west portion of the same lake shore, The Healer and the Throng "And Jesus with his disciples with- drew to the sea." The Sea of Galilee, •the only large body of water in Pales- ine. It is a lovely body of water, and has been compared` to the Lake of Lucerne, the Lake of Geneva and Loch Lomond. "He withdrew from the plots which iipea most easily in cities, the hotbeds of intrigue, to the' open coast, It is His first retreat be- fore opposition, and careful readers of the .Gospels 'must 'observe that whenever the pressure of His enemies became extreme, He turned for safe- ty to the simple fishermen," "And great „multitude from Galilee followed awl from Judea." It must indeed have been a. large crowd, including contingents front regions so widely separated. Galilee was the northern division of Palestine, Judea the eouth- ern, containing Jerusalem, . Samaria was the third divisionelying between. The Samaritans were not welcome a- mong the Jews and did not mingle freely with them, "And •front j erusalem, anti, from Idumaea." Idumaea is the Greek name of the ancient Edom ("red") the land of Esau and his descendants.. The col -1111.1'Y was called the Red Lands because of its red sandstone bills. It lay south of Palestine, and was especially prominent at this time because the I-Ierods came from there. "And beyond the Jordan." The East, too, sent its contribution from Peraea. "And about Tyre and Sidon" These came from the north-west. Tyre, meaning- 'rock' and Sidon, mean ing 'fishery' were the two mother ci- ties of Phoenicia, on the Mediterran- ean Sea. "A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came unto him." It is a very external and vul- gar kipc1 of •sensation that the evan- gelist describes; the people flock to- gether, not because echoes of Jesus' teaching reached their conscience, but because they have heard of his works. "And he spoke to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on hint be- cause of th p crowd, lest they should throng him." He did not make this provision because of dislike of con- tact with the multitude, but because of the plotting against Him and the possibility that a mob might be stirred up to attack Him, when flight by water woul be the "easiest escape. "For he had healed many," • Few value health while they have it, but as soon as they lose it, or their dear ones lose it, it is seen at once to be one of the main foundations of haP- All1R111S1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 10°7 Off Fis w , p _ • Ipiness and prosperity. •Fain is a most efficient teacher, and its lessons are sure to be heeded. "Insomuch that as many as had plagues pre'sse'd, upon him that they might touch him" The word translated 'plagues' means literally 'Scourges" going back to the idea that severe sicknesses are punishments for sin; this they often are, but by nd means always. "And the unclean spirits, whenso-' fevreer they beheld him, fell down be- ohim," t is worthy of notice that the afflicted people 'fell upon him,' but the unclean spirits 'fell idown' before ,hini; and this not out of love or 'devotion, but out of abject fear, , dreading lest he should drive II them .out of the 'possessed: a'nd send them before their time to their des- tined j:orment. "And cried, paying, Thou art the son of God." Tilt Mes- siah, the earthly incarnation of Deity. These evil spirits, being of the invis- ible world, seem to have had earlier knowledge than any man of Christ's nature and mission; that. is, earlier than any man who did not learn of it through an angel. And he charged, them much that they should not make Min known." Christ was not ready to declare His deity, He knew that to do so would rouse against Him an array of ene- mies strong enough to kill Him. He had first to win and train a body of disciples numerous enough to con- tinue the work He heel begun. The Touch of Faith "And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gentles- anta, and 'floored to the shore. The land of Gennesaret is only mentioned here and Matt. 14.34. "And, when they were curve out of the boat, straightway the people knew him." The night was: past and it was full daylight. "And ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was'." The beds were thin mattresses or pallets, serv- ing here as stretchers, Our Lord seems to have-- moved freely about the whole region, and the determined sick folk who could get about -on their own legs or beg or hire car- riers, followed him about as rumor reported his movement, keeping up the'pursuit until they found "And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country." Villages were distinguish- ed front cities by their size, and also usually by the fact that the city was surrounded by a wa,11. "They laid the sick in the market -places."' Near the gates within the city were to be found open places, the centres of conununal life. Here contracts were entered into, assemblies for judicial or deliberate purposes were held, buy- ing and selling took place, and pub- lic announcements were made. Here was the center of social intercourse in general.. The people seized the op- portunity of Christ's presence to se- cure the blessings which they most desired. "And besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment" .This was very different from the rough press- ing upon Jesus mentioned in the first part of this lesson. This crowd was renerent, and full of faith. "And as many as touched him were made -hole." Such numbers came to re- eive succor that the laying on of His ands was no longer possible. But aith, not personal contact, was the ondition of healing. The request to e 'allowed fo touch the hem of Has ,obe sufficed to prove that humility nd trust were there, and with these is loving kindness had free course o is it still in the blessings of the (AA c f c We are giving a 10% re- a duction in price H on al s m.
