Vincent: Mar 2:20 - Then - in those days

Then - in those days

The proper reading is ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ , in that day. So Rev. Another of Mark's double expressions: then - in that day.

Clarke: Mar 2:20 - In those days

In those days - But instead of εν εκειναις ταις ἡμεραις, many of the best MSS. and versions read, εν εκεινῃ τῃ ἡμερᾳ, in that day; viz. the day in which Jesus Christ should be delivered up to the Jews and Gentiles. Mill and Bengel approve of this reading, and Griesbach adopts it. The former part of the verse seems to vindicate the common reading.

Defender: Mar 2:20 - fast

Fasting is appropriate during times of grief or great need, not in times of joy, such as wedding celebrations. Jesus, as the heavenly Bridegroom, was presently with His disciples, but after His ascension their future mission would encounter opposition and persecution, and then they would fast (note Paul's testimony in 2Co 11:27)."

Poole: Mar 2:18-22

Ver. 18-22. See Poole on "Mat 9:14" , and following verses to Mat 9:17 . The sum of all teacheth us:

1. That fasting is an exercise suited to afflictive dispensations of Providence, and ought to be proportioned to its season.

2. That new converts are not to be discouraged by too severe exercises of religion, but to be trained up to them by degrees.

Haydock: Mar 2:20

Jesus Christ here foretelleth that fasting shall be used in his Church, no less than in the old law, or in the time of John the Baptist. See Matthew ix. 15. ---

When first we begin to be converted to God, the spiritual consolations which God infuses into our souls, cause in us an overflowing of spiritual delights, so that we then feast, and are in the midst of delight; but when the Bridegroom shall be taken away, when these spiritual consolations cease, then we fast, and find the commandments difficult. It is then we must prepare ourselves for tribulation. (Ven. Bede)

Gill: Mar 2:20 - But the days will come // when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days

But the days will come,.... As they were in some sense now come to the disciples of John, their master being taken up by Herod, and confined in prison, and so it was a mourning time with them:

when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days: referring to the time of the sufferings and death of Christ, which would be, and was a sorrowful season to his disciples.
