Markus 1:27

1:27 They were all amazed so that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.”

Markus 2:12

2:12 And immediately the man ¹  stood up, took his stretcher, and went out in front of them all. They were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Markus 4:41

4:41 They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, “Who then is this? ²  Even the wind and sea obey him!” ³ 

Markus 5:15

5:15 They came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man sitting there, clothed and in his right mind – the one who had the “Legion” – and they were afraid.

Markus 6:50

6:50 for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them: ⁴  “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”

[2:12]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man who was healed) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:41]  ² sn Jesus’ authority over creation raised a question for the disciples about who he was exactly (Who then is this?). This verse shows that the disciples followed Jesus even though they did not know all about him yet.

[4:41]  ³ sn This section in Mark (4:35-5:43) contains four miracles: (1) the calming of the storm; (2) the exorcism of the demon-possessed man; (3) the giving of life to Jairus’ daughter; (4) the healing of the woman hemorrhaging for twelve years. All these miracles demonstrate Jesus’ right to proclaim the kingdom message and his sovereign authority over forces, directly or indirectly, hostile to the kingdom. The last three may have been brought together to show that Jesus had power over all defilement, since contact with graves, blood, or a corpse was regarded under Jewish law as causing a state of ritual uncleanness.

[6:50]  ⁴ tn Grk “he spoke with them, and said to them.”
