Excerpt from The Gospel According to St. Mark: With Introduction, Notes, and Maps This Commentary on the Gospel of St. Mark has been written with the View of supplying as far as possible the kind of informa tion and notes required by the teacher of a Bible-class, where the pupils have in their hands the author's little fourpenny com mentary, published by Messrs. Blackie Son, of Glasgow. It does not pretend to be a critical exposition of the Gospel from a new or original point of view, and the author has made free use, always with diie acknowledgment, of every available source of information. The introduction, analysis, and divisions have been made on the principle of looking at the Gospel of Mark as a life of Christ. Accordingly, the Introduction includes a short statement of the political and religious state of Palestine during our Lord's ministry, and the Chronological' Summary in the Appendix aims at giving that historical framework to the life of Christ which many of those for whom this book is specially intended have desired.
