Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:47

Perhaps shame led Mark to conceal the fact that it was Peter who cut off Malchus’ ear, evidently in a misdirected attempt to cut off his head (cf. John 18:10). Peter’s lack of prayer resulted in a lack of poise that contrasts sharply with Jesus’ behavior. He had not only boasted too much (Mark 14:29; Mark 14:31) and prayed too little (Mark 14:37; Mark 14:40-41), but he also acted too violently. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 14:1-72

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

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 14:47

This was Peter, as we learn from St. John xviii. 10. He is here actuated with his usual ardent zeal, calling to mind the example of Phinees, who by executing justice on the wicked, merited the reward of justice, and a continual priesthood. (Ven. Bede) --- St. Mark conceals his master's name, lest he should seem to be publishing the ardour of his zeal for Christ. (Theophylactus) read more
