Shephelah, with the Negeb.’—G. A. Smith, Historical Geography of the Holy Land, p. 239. Mentioned by Josephus (B. J., lii. 3-5) as a division of Judaea.— Ver. 9g. Ὦἕἵνα πλοιάριον προσκαρτερῇ: a boat to be always in readiness, to get away from the crowds. Whether used or not, not said; shows how great the crowd was.—Ver. ΙΟ. ὥστεἐπιπίπτειν: so that they knocked against Him; one of Mk.’s vivid touches. They hoped to obtain a cure by contact anyhow brought about, even by rude collision.—_paorryas, from µάστιξ, a scourge, hence tropically in Sept. and N. T., a_providential scourge, a disease ; again in v. 29, 34.— Ver. 11. ὅταν ἐθ. In a relative clause like this, containing a past general supposition, classical Greek has the optative without ἄν. Here we have the imperfect indicative with ἄν (ὅτε ἄν). Vide Klotz., ad Devar, p. 690, and Burton, M. and T., § 315. Other examples in chap. vi. 56, xi. 10.--προσέπιπτον, fell before (ἐπιπίπτειν, above, to fall against).—2¥ el 6 v. τ. θ.: again an in- stance of spiritual clairvoyance in demoniacs. Vide at Mt. viii. 29.—Ver. 12. This sentence is reproduced in Mt. xii. 16, but without special reference to demoniacs, whereby it loses much of its point.
Vv. 13-19a. Selection of the Twelve (cf. Mt. κ. 2-4, Lk. vi. 12-16).—Ver. 13. €is Td Spos. He ascends fo the hill ; same expression as in Mt. v. 1; reference not to any particular hill, but to the hill
country flanking the shore of the lake; might be used from whatever point below the ascent was made.—zpooxa- λεῖται, etc., He calls to Him those whom He Himself (αὐτός after the verb, emphatic) wished, whether by personal communication with each individual, or through disciples, not indicated. It was. an invitation to leave the vast crowd and follow Him up the hill; addressed to a larger number than twelve, from whom the Twelve were afterwards selected.— ἀπήῆλθον π. a.: they left the crowd and followed after Him.—Ver. 14. He is now on the hill top, surrounded by a body of disciples, perhaps some scores, picked out from the great mass of followers.—xat ἐποίησε δώδεκα: and He made, constituted as a compact body, Twelve, by a second selection. For use: of ποιεῖν in this sense vide 1 Sam. xii. 6, 7Acts Π. 36, Με ted “made” ou as Jesus “made” the Twelve. What the process of ‘‘ making” in the case of the Twelve consisted in we do not know. It might take place after days of close intercourse on the hill.— ἵνα dow per αὐτοῦ, that they might be (constantly) with Him; first and very important aim of the making, mentioned only by Mk—training contemplated.— ἵνα ἀποστέλλῃ: to send them out ona preaching and healing mission, also in view, but only after a while. This verb frequent in Mk. Note the absence of τοῦ betore κηρύσσειν and ἔχειν (ver. 15). —Ver. 16. καὶ ἐποίησεν τ. δ., and He
