Expositor's Bible Commentary - Mark 15:21-32

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 15:24

15:24 {5} And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.(5) Christ hangs naked upon the cross, and as the most wicked and base person that ever was, most vilely reproved. This was so that we, being clothed with his righteousness and blessed with his curses and sanctified by his only sacrifice, may be taken up into heaven. 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 15:22-32

22-32 The place where our Lord Jesus was crucified, was called the place of a scull; it was the common place of execution; for he was in all respects numbered with the transgressors. Whenever we look unto Christ crucified, we must remember what was written over his head; he is a King, and we must give up ourselves to be his subjects, as Israelites indeed. They crucified two thieves with him, and him in the midst; they thereby intended him great dishonour. But it was foretold that he should be... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 15:1-99

Mark 15 THE FIRST VERSE of this chapter picks up the thread from Mar_14:65 . The Romans had taken away the power of capital punishment from the Jews and vested it wholly in Caesar’s representative, hence the religious leaders knew they must present Him before Pilate and demand the death sentence upon some ground which appeared adequate to him. Verse Mar_15:3 tells us that they “accused Him of many things,” but we are not told by Mark what those things were. We are struck however by the way in... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 15:22-39

Mark THE DEATH WHICH GIVES LIFE Mar_15:21 - Mar_15:39 . The narrative of the crucifixion is, in Mark’s hands, almost entirely a record of what was done to Jesus, and scarcely touches what was done by Him. We are shown the executioners, the jeering rabble, the triumphant priests, the fellow-sufferers reviling; but the only glimpses we get of Him are His refusal of the stupefying draught, His loud cries, and His giving up the ghost. The narrative is perfectly calm, as well as reverently... read more
