マルコの福音書 14:56 JCB

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 14:55-59

Mark 14:55-59. And all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death Which they were determined to do. They had seized him as a malefactor; and now they had him, they had no indictment to prefer against him, no crime to lay to his charge: but they sought for witnesses against him. They artfully sifted some by sly interrogatories, offered bribes to others to prevail on them to accuse him, and endeavoured by threats to compel other, to do it. The chief priests and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 14:53-72

152. At the high priest’s house (Matthew 26:57-75; Mark 14:53-72; Luke 22:54-65; John 18:12-27)Annas and his son-in-law Caiaphas apparently lived in the same house. Annas had been the previous high priest and, though replaced by Caiaphas, was still well respected and influential. Jesus’ captors took him to Annas first, while Peter and John, who had followed at a distance, waited in the courtyard. By now it was well past midnight and into the early hours of the morning (John 18:12-18; Luke... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 14:56

56. For many bare false witness against him—From their debasing themselves to "seek" them, we are led to infer that they were bribed to bear false witness; though there are never wanting sycophants enough, ready to sell themselves for naught, if they may but get a smile from those above them: see a similar scene in :-. How is one reminded here of that complaint, "False witnesses did rise up: they laid to my charge things that I knew not" (Psalms 31:11)! but their witness agreed not together—If... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:55-56

Even though this hearing, or grand jury investigation, took place at night, the Sanhedrin found witnesses against Jesus. It seems that they had been planning their case for the prosecution carefully. However the witnesses, who testified separately in Jewish trials, contradicted each other. Consequently their testimony was useless (cf. Numbers 35:30; Deuteronomy 17:6; Deuteronomy 19:15)."It is harder to agree on a consistent lie than to tell the simple truth." [Note: Cole, p. 226.] read more
