Mark 15:27 NIV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 15:22-28

Mark 15:22-28. They bring him, unto the place Golgotha See these verses elucidated in the notes on Matthew 27:33-44. When they had crucified him, they parted his garments Mark seems to intimate, that they first nailed him to the cross, then parted his garments, and afterward reared up the cross. The English word to crucify, denotes properly, to put to death by nailing to the cross; but the Greek word σταυροω , here used, means no more than to fasten to the cross with nails.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 15:22-32

158. The crucifixion (Matthew 27:33-44; Mark 15:22-32; Luke 23:32-43; John 19:18-24)Golgotha, the place of Jesus’ crucifixion, was a hill beside a main road just outside Jerusalem. The procession arrived there about 9 a.m. (Matthew 27:33; Mark 15:25). (It is difficult to calculate the exact times of all the incidents that took place on the day of Jesus’ crucifixion. People in those days did not carry clocks, and the times given in the Gospels are only approximate. In some cases the writers may... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 15:27

And with him they crucify, two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.Someone has observed that upon the crosses there appeared both the best of men and the worst of men, society always having that paradoxical quality of crucifying both its saints and its sinners. This association of Jesus with the vilest of criminals was an added stigma of his crucifixion; but God overruled it in making it the fulfillment of this prophecy:And they made his grave with the wicked (plural) and with a... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 15:27-28

Jesus’ position between the two insurrectionists (John 18:40), perhaps cohorts of Barabbas, portrayed Him as the chief offender. The soldiers probably put Jesus in this position as a further insult to the Jews as well as to Jesus.Most ancient manuscripts of Mark’s Gospel omit Mark 15:28. Many textual experts consider it an interpolation from Luke 22:37. Mark rarely pointed out the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. [Note: Plummer, p. 355.] read more
