Definitions for Mark 7:36
Clarke's Mark 7:36 Bible Commentary
Tell no man - See on Matthew 8:4 (note). This miracle is not mentioned by any other of the evangelists. Another proof that Mark did not abridge Matthew. For a practical review of the different important subjects of this chapter, see Matthew 15:1-39 (note), and particularly the observations at the end.
Barnes's Mark 7:36 Bible Commentary
Tell no man - Do not noise it abroad. He was not ambitious of being known, and he knew that if much was said of his cures, it would excite the jealousy of the Pharisees and endanger his life.
Wesley's Mark 7:36 Bible Commentary
7:36 Them - The blind man and those that brought him.
