Wells of Living Water Commentary - Mark 14:29-72

Peter's Wanderings Mark 14:29-72 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Peter will ever be recognized as one of the outstanding disciples of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This does not mean, however, that Peter knew no frailties of the flesh. We like to group the various disciples and followers of Christ into six divisions. 1. There were the five hundred to whom Jesus appeared at one time. This is the largest number mentioned as followers of Christ prior to Pentecost. We would call these the saved. There... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:69-70

‘And the maid saw him and began again to say to those who stood by, “This is one of them.” But he again denied it.’ As she moved around ‘the maid’ (or another maid. The definite article might be a Semitism) spotted him and her suspicions were again aroused. Possibly she had been prompted by the first maid. So she said to those who stood round, “This is one of them”. This was her moment and she was not going to lose it. It would seem that she deliberately spoke so that Peter would hear. And he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:70

‘And after a little while those who stood by again said to Peter, “Truly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” Once aroused the suspicions would not die down and his accent betrayed him. Why else should an unknown Galilean be here? So again they tackled him. Now he was being more directly identified. Galileans spoke in a totally different way to Judaeans. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:66-72

Mark 14:66-Baruch : . Peter’ s Denial.— Peter had followed into the inner court of the chief priest’ s palace ( Mark 14:54). Here he is challenged by a maid-servant. He denies all knowledge and understanding of her meaning. The redundancy of the sentence befits his embarrassment. Later, in the porch that gave access to the courtyard, the maid repeats her challenge. Peter denies again. The third denial is accompanied with oaths. Mk. retains his second cock-crow. Mark 14:72 . The word rendered... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 14:66-72

All four evangelists give us an account of this history of Peter’s denial of his Master. We have considered what they all say, to complete the history, in our notes on Matthew 26:69-75; to which I see no reason to add any thing but the observation, 1. How contemptible means God often useth to take down our pride and self-confidences. Peter, a great apostle, is here humbled by the means of two maids. 2. How naturally one sin draws on another. Peter first tells a lie, then to lying addeth... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 14:1-72

After two days was the feast of the passover ( Mark 14:1 ),Now, we have followed and traced Jesus in Mark's gospel through Sunday, His triumphant entry. Monday, when He came back to the temple and cleansed it. And Tuesday, when He came back again and fielded these questions, and where the disciples showed Him the building and He said, "Not one stone is going to be left standing up on the other," back to the Mount of Olives Tuesday evening with His disciples, as He sits down there and makes... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 14:1-72

Mark 14:1-2 . After two days was the passover, when the chief priests and the scribes sought to form their plan, how they might surprise the Saviour and put him to death. Their scheme to do it after the passover was sacrificed, and the people returned to the country, was very prudent, in order to prevent an insurrection. But how then would the scriptures have been fulfilled, in regard of the sprinkling of the Lamb’s blood for our redemption from sin, and the tyranny of Satan. Mark 14:3 . ... read more

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - Mark 14:70

a little: Matthew 26:73, Matthew 26:74, Luke 22:59, Luke 22:60, John 18:26, John 18:27 for: Judges 12:6, Acts 2:7 and thy:  כבכיב [Strong's G2981], ףןץ [Strong's G4675], "Thy dialect," or mode of speech. From various examples produced by Lightfoot, and Schoetgen, it appears that the Galileans used a very corrupt dialect and pronunciation; interchanging the gutturals, and other letters, and so blending or dividing words as to render them unintelligible, or convey a contrary sense. Thus when... read more
