Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 21. - And they went into Capernaum; literally, they go into Capernaum (εἰσπορεύονται). St. Mark is fond of the historical "present "tense, which often adds life and energy to his narrative. Who go into Capernaum? Our Lord and these four disciples, the elementary Church of God, the nucleus of that spiritual influence which is to spread wider and wider unto the perfect day. It does not follow that this going into Capernaum took place on the same day. They would not have been fishing on the sabbath day. The synagogue here spoken of was the gift of the good centurion of whom we read in St. Matthew (Matthew 8:5) and St. Luke (Luke 7:2). Thus the first synagogue in which our Lord preached was the gift of a generous Gentile officer. It was an emblem of the union of Jews and Gentiles in one fold.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) And they went into Capernaum.--Here St. Mark's narrative ceases to run parallel with that of St. Matthew, and agrees almost verbally with Luke 4:31-37.Straightway.--The frequent recurrence of this adverb, often disguised in the English version as "immediately," "anon," "by-and-by," should be noticed as we proceed. It occurs forty-one times in the Gospel; nine times in this first chapter.
