马可福音 15:21 CUVS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 15:21

(21) The father of Alexander and Rufus.—The fact recorded here, and not elsewhere, is one of the most striking instances of the independent character of St. Mark’s Gospel. It is clear that it had a special interest for himself and the readers for whom he wrote; what that interest was we can only conjecture. The two names were so common that we cannot arrive at more than a probable identification, but the mention of a “Rufus chosen in the Lord” as prominent among the Christians of Rome (Romans... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 15:1-47

Mark 15:5 There are few tests of a man's spiritual condition more searching and decisive than the temper with which he bears unmerited insult and railing speech. I do not refer to mere self-command, to the self-respect which forbids an answer in kind, and imposes an external calmness of manner on a swelling indignation within.... The question is not one of self-mastery under, but of superiority to, insult, which feels no anger or resentment at insolence or contempt; and this not from an abject... read more

CHAPTER 15:21-32 (Mark 15:21-32)CHRIST CRUCIFIED"And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear His cross. And they bring Him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. And they offered Him wine mingled with myrrh: but He received it not. And they crucify Him, and part His garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take. And it was the third hour,... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Mark 15:21

15:21 And they {3} compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.(3) The rage of the wicked has no measure; meanwhile, even the weakness of Christ, who was in pain under the heavy burden of the cross, manifestly shows that a lamb is led to be sacrificed. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Mark 15:1-47

CRUCIFIED AND RISEN The closing events in Mark’s Gospel: Jesus before Pilate (Mark 15:1-15 ); mocked by the soldiers (Mark 15:23 ); nailed to the cross (Mark 15:24-41 ); buried in the tomb (Mark 15:42-47 ); risen from the dead (Mark 16:1-18 ); ascended to heaven (Mark 16:19-20 ). As in other instances, Mark’s account of the trial before Pilate is the briefest while that of Matthew is the longest in the Gospels. The former, however, especially emphasizes the religious hatred of the people. He... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:15-21

15-21 Christ met death in its greatest terror. It was the death of the vilest malefactors. Thus the cross and the shame are put together. God having been dishonoured by the sin of man, Christ made satisfaction by submitting to the greatest disgrace human nature could be loaded with. It was a cursed death; thus it was branded by the Jewish law, Deuteronomy 21:23. The Roman soldiers mocked our Lord Jesus as a King; thus in the high priest's hall the servants had mocked him as a Prophet and... read more
