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 14:31
But he spake exceeding vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.Peter's failure here was in disputing his Lord; there was also an element of overconfidence. For full discussion of the reasons for Peter's denial, see my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 26:58. 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

2. Jesus’ sufferings because of desertion 14:12-52The Servant’s sufferings in anticipation of His death continue in this section of the text. They centered around two events, Jesus’ observance of the Passover with His disciples and His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane with His Father. read more

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

Jesus’ agony in the garden 14:27-52Jesus experienced suffering as He said farewell to His disciples in Jerusalem (Mark 14:12-26), but His suffering increased as He anticipated the Cross on the Mount of Olives (Mark 14:27-52). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:31
But he spake exeseding vehemently ( ἐκπερισσῶς ἐλάλει ), If I must die with thee ( ἐάν με δέρ ), I will not deny thee. The right reading ( ἐλάλει , imperfect) implies that he kept asserting over and over again. He was, no doubt, sincere in all this, but he had vet to learn his own weakness. St. Hilary says on this, "Peter was so carried away by the fervor of his zeal and love for Christ, that he regarded neither the weakness of his own flesh nor the truth of his... read more
