I just downloaded the FB Meyers Commentary on Esword and for those of you that use it, you've probably seen the questions that are asked that goes along with studying, and there is a statement made before the questions that kind of has me confused and I was wondering if anyone could explain it to me.

 

It says "Each questions applies to the paragraph of corresponding number in the comments."

 

What in the world does that mean?

 

Thanks and God bless.

Hi

 

I will try to explain

 

for an example go to Mark 1:1 go to book icon for the questions as you know

 

the fist question is 

 

1. What man was sent of God to prepare the way for Christ?

 

change to V icon for verse

 

and read 

Mark 1:1-20

 

 

the Beginning of Jesus’ Ministry 

 

Mar_1:1-20

 

The ministry of John the Baptist, Mar_1:1-8. Always the message of John precedes that of Jesus Christ; first the changed attitude of the will, then faith. The greatness of the Baptist revealed itself in his humility. He saw what we must see, that a negative religion, symbolized by water, is not enough: we need to be set on fire.

The opening pages of Christ’s public life, Mar_1:9-20. Jesus was recognized by the Baptist, who beheld the opened heavens and the descending Spirit. If the Lord was thus anointed ere He commenced His life-work, how much more must we be! Hast thou become united with Him in His death, made one with Him in His resurrection, and anointed by that same Spirit? Then be sure that thou, too, must be tempted. Sons of men must go the way of the Son of man, now under the opened heavens, then tempted of the devil; on one side the wild beasts, on the other the angels; now driven to loneliness, and then to the crowded street of the cities, there to gather disciples by the energy and beauty of a victorious life.

 

then go back to b for book comments question 2

 

2. What word may be taken as the keynote of this Gospel?

 

go to V for verse again then click next comment 

 

and read 

 

Mark 1:21-39

 

 

the Helper of the Needy 

 

Mar_1:21-39

 

The word straightway is typical of our Lord’s life. It occurs at least eleven times in this chapter (r.v.), and is the keynote of Mark’s Gospel, which is pre-eminently the gospel of service. The ancient symbol for this Gospel was the ox. There is comparatively little said in it, as in Matthew, about the King; or, as in Luke, about the details of Jesus’ humanity; or, as in John, about His divine sonship. There are suggestions of all these, but emphasis is laid on the unresting labors of Jesus, who went about doing good. In illustration of this trait in the Master’s life, the evangelist narrates the proceedings of two typical days, the one at the beginning, the other at the close of His ministry. The first typical day is recorded in this chapter, Mar_1:21-38. The morning was spent in the synagogue, where at the close of the service the demon was cast out; the afternoon witnessed the healing of Peter’s wife’s mother; the evening beheld the throng at the door, whom he healed. Early next day He had gone forth for prayer, and forthwith started on a mission throughout all Galilee. The second typical day is recorded in Mar_11:20-33; Mar_12:1-44; Mar_13:1-37.

 

each click of the next button should corispond to the question number question 3 you would go to V icon click next comments 2 times to get to the third comment question answer and there should be the answer

 

 

it may be less time consuming if you print out the questions and just click the next comment icon to advance
