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
Peter refused to allow the possibility that he would forsake Jesus even though the other disciples might (cf. John 21:15). Jesus informed Peter that his defection would really be worse than that of the other disciples. He introduced His warning with the customary solemn affirmation and explained that the denial was not only certain but imminent. Furthermore Peter would utter it three times in spite of the rooster’s double warning. Mark alone referred to the second crowing, probably because of... read more

(30) Before the cock crow twice.—The word “twice” is omitted in many MSS. It agrees, however, with the emphatic mention of the cock crowing a “second time” in Mark 14:72, and with the form of the prediction in the same verse, and may fairly be regarded as the true reading, the omission in some MSS. being accidental. read more
Foreign Missions Mark 14:4 The incident from which our text is taken is distinguished above all others by the fact that Jesus mentions it as one that shall be held in world-wide and undying remembrance (v. 9). What is there said has been realized wherever missions have been established. But, unfortunately, the obvious moral of the story has not prevented the application to foreign missions of a question, oft repeated and loud sounding, which amounts almost in so many words to the question of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:27-31

Mark probably inserted it here in his narrative because of its logical connection with Jesus’ arrest in Gethsemane. read more
