CHAPTER 14:53-65 (Mark 14:53-65)BEFORE CAIAPHAS"And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Mark 14:55

14:55 {14} And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.(14) Christ, who was so innocent that he could not be oppressed, not even by false witnesses, is at length condemned for impiety before the high priest for confessing God to be his father. This is so that we, who denied God and were indeed wicked, might be acquitted before God. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 14:55

Though the law prescribed there should be only one high priest, yet at this time there were many, being appointed yearly by the Roman governor; and those are here called chief priests who had once been invested with the dignity of high priest, but were at that time out of office.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:53-65

53-65 We have here Christ's condemnation before the great council of the Jews. Peter followed; but the high priest's fire-side was no proper place, nor his servants proper company, for Peter: it was an entrance into temptation. Great diligence was used to procure false witnesses against Jesus, yet their testimony was not equal to the charge of a capital crime, by the utmost stretch of their law. He was asked, Art thou the Son of the Blessed? that is, the Son of God. For the proof of his being... read more

The verses between tell a story of devoted love on the part of an insignificant woman its beauty enhanced by the story standing... read more
