See the notes at Matthew 26:47-57.Mark 14:45Master, Master - As if expressing great joy that he had found him again.Mark 14:51A certain young man - Who this was we have no means of determining, but it seems not improbable that he may have been the owner of the garden, and that he may have had an understanding with Jesus that he should visit it for retirement when he withdrew from the city. That he was not one of the apostles is clear. It is probable that be was roused from sleep by the noise... read more

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:50

And they all left him, and fled.Peter's rash attack upon Malchus was rebuked by Jesus, and the excised ear was restored. In the face of his enemies, Jesus proclaimed himself as God, "I AM" (John 18:8); from the sudden outflashing of his divine power, the soldiers faded backward and lay prostrate. Having shown the completeness of his power, the Lord required the arresting group to refrain from taking the Twelve into custody (John 18:8f), thus revealing the wonder that had just taken place as a... 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 14:48-50

Jesus’ reply pointed out that He was not a dangerous criminal. The Sanhedrin’s action was totally unjustified and indefensible. Nevertheless it fulfilled prophecy. The Scriptures Jesus referred to included Isaiah 53:3; Isaiah 53:7-9; Isaiah 53:12 and Zechariah 13:7 (cf. Mark 14:27). Mark 14:50 documents the failure of the disciples, including Peter, and their abandonment of Jesus to preserve their own safety. The writer’s interest was the disciples’ action more than that of the mob. read more
