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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 15:38-41

(38) And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. (39) And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. (40) There were also women looking on afar off, among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome: (41) (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 15:39

The centurion considered the crying out of our Saviour as an effect not of human, but divine power, since it generally happens that people at the moment the soul quits the body are reduced to so debilitated a state, that they are scarce able to utter the least word. Although Jesus was truly the natural, not the adoptive, Son of God, it is nevertheless probable that the centurion, being a Gentile, did not speak in this manner as if he knew Jesus to be the natural Son of God. He did not know that... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:33-41

33-41 There was a thick darkness over the land, from noon until three in the afternoon. The Jews were doing their utmost to extinguish the Sun of Righteousness. The darkness signified the cloud which the human soul of Christ was under, when he was making it an offering for sin. He did not complain that his disciples forsook him, but that his Father forsook him. In this especially he was made sin for us. When Paul was to be offered as a sacrifice for the service saints, he could joy and rejoice,... 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'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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 15:22-47

a King upon His Cross Mark 15:22-47 Our Lord refused to drink the potion prepared by the women of Jerusalem, in order to stupefy those who were crucified and so deaden the sense of pain, because He would drain the cup to its dregs. It was nine o’clock in the morning when He was nailed to the cross. His persecutors were, as they thought, destroying the Temple of which He had spoken in John 2:19 , and making its restoration impossible. In fact, however, they were giving Him the opportunity of... read more
