The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:29

But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. Our Lord had just distinctly stated that they would all be offended, and therefore these words of St. Peter were very presumptuous. Conscious of his own infirmities, he ought to have said, "I know that through my own infirmity this may easily happen. Nevertheless, I trust to thy mercy and goodness to save me." Just such is the Christian's daily experience. We often think that we are strong in the faith, strong in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 14:26-31

Mark 14:26-31. And they went out into the mount of Olives At the conclusion of the supper; Jesus and his disciples sung a proper psalm, or song of praise, together, as was customary at the close of the passover, and then he set out for the mount of Olives, choosing to retire thither, that he might prevent a riot in Jerusalem, and bring no trouble upon the master of the house where he celebrated the passover. Jesus said, All ye shall be offended this night See the notes on Matthew... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 14:27-31

149. Disciples’ failure foretold (Matthew 26:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; Luke 22:24-38; John 13:36-38)Despite all that Jesus had shown and taught his disciples about humility, and in spite of the death he was about to die for them, they were still arguing about who was the greatest among them. Jesus reminded them again of the different standards in the earthly and heavenly kingdoms. He had given them an example in the way he lived among them, showing that true greatness lay in serving others (Luke... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:29

But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.Peter was not alone in rejecting the idea of their failure, for both Mark and Matthew relate how "all the disciples" made the same affirmation of loyalty. What none of them realized was that the source of true spiritual strength had not yet been provided through the death of the Christ, and that it was therefore impossible for them to have stood without that strength. Peter, more vehement than the rest, and, as always, the... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 14:29

Mark 14:29. Although all shall be offended,— It is most probable that Judas by this timehad slipped away from the disciples, to fulfil his vile contract with the sanhedrim; and Peter missing him vaunted, that though all his fellow-apostles should follow Judas's example; he would stand by his Lord. We may observe, that if St. Mark's Gospel was dictated or reviewed by St. Peter, as the ancients affirm, the latter, out of his deep penitence, represents the event with the highest aggravations; for... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:1-52

A. The Servant’s anticipation of suffering 14:1-52Several themes peak in this section. Here we have the clearest evidence that Jesus was the Messiah and the Son of God (cf. Mark 1:1; Mark 8:29). Here, too, Jesus’ conflict with the religious leaders, His foes, came to a head (cf. Mark 3:1; Mark 3:6; Mark 11:18; Mark 12:12). The ignorance and selfishness of Jesus’ disciples, His friends, also peaked (cf. Mark 3:19; Mark 6:1-6; Mark 8:31 to Mark 10:52). Finally, the Servant’s ministry climaxed in... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:27-31

The prediction of Peter’s denial 14:27-31 (cf. Matthew 26:31-35; Luke 22:31-34; John 13:36-38)Evidently Jesus made this prediction in the upper room before the institution of the Lord’s Supper. Mark probably inserted it here in his narrative because of its logical connection with Jesus’ arrest in Gethsemane. read more
