The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:17-21

The betrayer denounced. I. THE SHADOW AT THE FEAST , Not fear, as of a criminal under sting of conscience; nor over-anxiety, the specter that sits with the worldling at his board; but moral repugnance expressing itself in sympathetic sorrow. An inward sense of interrupted sympathy and fellowship. II. THE BETRAYER INDICATED . It is necessary to declare what it is which prevents the full communion of the household of Christ. This is done in order: 1 . To awaken the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 14:17-25

Mark 14:17-25. In the evening he cometh with the twelve See notes on Matthew 26:20-29. This is my blood of the new testament Or, covenant; that is, this I appoint to be a perpetual sign and memorial of my blood, as shed for establishing the new covenant, that all who shall believe in me, may receive all its gracious promises. I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, &c. That is, I shall drink no more before I die: the next wine I drink will not be earthly, but heavenly. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 14:17-21

141. A traitor among them (Matthew 26:20-25; Mark 14:17-21; Luke 22:21-23; John 13:21-35)The apostles were surprised when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him, for they did not suspect treachery among them. Perhaps they thought that one of them might unintentionally betray him through speaking carelessly. But Judas knew what Jesus meant (Matthew 26:20-22; John 13:21-25). When Jesus took a piece of bread, dipped it in the dish and gave it to Judas, he was giving Judas a special... read more

And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me.And as they sat ... The Greek word here is "reclined."And were eating ... Mark did not say, "eating the passover," but eating, that is, having a meal together the night before the paschal supper, in a room where preparations were only partially complete for the solemn beginning of Passover festival the next night.One of... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:17

This would have been Thursday evening. Because the Jews began their days at sundown this incident would have happened at the beginning of the fifteenth of Nisan. Jesus came with the Twelve to the upper room. Luke 22:15-16; Luke 22:24-30 and John 13:1-20 record what happened next. read more
