Mark 14:43-15:47 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:43-52

Betrayal and arrest. The agony and the betrayal are most closely related. Neither can be understood apart from the other. Why did Jesus so suffer in the garden, and endure sorrow such that there was none like it? Doubtless it was because he was anticipating the approaching apprehension, and all the awful events which it involved. His soul was darkened by the knowledge that the Son of man was about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. And how came Jesus, when the crisis arrived, to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:43-52

Violence and meekness. I. THE INFLUENCE OF SELF - COMMAND SELF - COMMAND . HOW majestic does the Savior appear in this refusal to employ force against force! Moral grandeur is illustrated against the background of brute violence. It is but the show of violence that can ever be opposed to the majesty of truth. The Divine and the spiritual is conscious that it cannot be hurt. Evil, having no real substance nor personality, flees from it. II. IN THE PROVIDENCE OF ... read more

That he was not one of the apostles is clear. It is probable that be was roused from sleep by the noise... read more

Mark 14:43-45. Immediately, while he yet spake And gave his disciples the alarm just mentioned; Judas came, and with him a great multitude Persons of different stations and offices in life, sent with authority from the chief priests, with swords and staves Or clubs, as it seems ξυλων ought here to be rendered. “A staff, in Greek, ραβδος , is intended principally to assist us in walking; a club, ξυλον , is a weapon both offensive and defensive.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 14:43-52

151. The arrest of Jesus (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:2-11)In the strength of the victory won at Gethsemane, Jesus went to meet his enemies. Judas knew the garden, for Jesus had often met there with his apostles. In the middle of the night, Judas took a group of temple guards and Roman soldiers to seize Jesus. By working under the cover of darkness, he kept the operation hidden from any who were likely to be sympathizers with Jesus. But Jesus needed no supporters to... read more

And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.JESUS WAS ARRESTEDThe arresting party, fully armed, was made up of temple guards and a detachment of soldiers sent by Pilate. The presence of the priests and the guards indicates that it was not Passover. It was forbidden to bear arms on such a day. John added the detail that they carried lanterns and torches. 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
