马可福音 15:21 CUVS

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 15:20-25

Christ led to His crucifixion: v. 20. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him, and put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him. v. 21. And they compel one Simon, a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear His cross. v. 22. And they bring Him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The Place of a Skull. v. 23. And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh; but He received it... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 15:21

Mark THE DEATH WHICH GIVES LIFE SIMON THE CYRENIAN Mar_15:21 . How little these soldiers knew that they were making this man immortal! What a strange fate that is which has befallen chose persons in the Gospel narrative, who for an instant came into contact with Jesus Christ. Like ships passing athwart the white ghostlike splendour of moonlight on the sea, they gleam silvery pure for a moment as they cross its broad belt, and then are swallowed up again in the darkness. This man Simon,... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 15:1-21

the Choice of the Multitude Mark 15:1-21 The hurried consultation of the evening was followed by the more formal meeting of the early morning; and even the decision made then had no binding force till ratified by Pilate, the Roman governor, who happened at that time to be in Jerusalem. John gives a more detailed account of this memorable interview, John 18:33-38 . Our Lord did not plead His own cause but committed Himself to the One who judges righteously, 1 Peter 2:23 . It was only when... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 15:1-47

This chapter is one of those that needs little explanation and must ever be read in awe and reverence. Pilate represented the Roman empire, which attempted to secure itself by its ordinary methods of policy and force, and then fell, crushed and broken forever. Simon was “impressed," that is compelled to His service; but it is most probable that this man became a devout follower of the Master, and that his sons, Rufus and Alexander, also were well known to the early Christians. We gaze and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:20-39

The Crucifixion (15:20-39). It must have come as a huge anti-climax to those who heard this story for the first time when they learned that this One Who had done such good and had taught so well should now be in a position of being led off to be crucified. We know the story so well that we take it for granted. But we also still recognise the staggering nature of it. Here was God’s beloved Son, Whose one interest had been in the needs of His fellowmen, (even if that had meant that He sometimes... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:21

‘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.’ It was normal that the condemned man, in the middle of a square of four soldiers, should carry the crosspiece on which he was to be crucified to the place of execution. The accusation against him was written on a board carried ahead by a soldier, and the longest route to the execution site was taken so as to act as a warning to as many... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:21-32

Mark 15:21-Jonah : * The Crucifixion.— Usually the criminal himself carried his cross ( i.e. the cross-bar, probably not the upright). Jesus seems to have been exhausted by the scourging and by His own sorrow. Simon of Cyrene was forced into His service. The reference to Simon’ s children is pointless unless they were known to Mk.’ s readers (HNT). Rufus is mentioned in Romans 16:13 and Alexander in Acts 19:33, 1 Timothy 1:20 (but they are not necessarily the same men as those to whom Mk.... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 15:21-37

To make this history complete, all the other evangelists must be consulted, and compared with Mark, who omits many considerable passages recorded by them; we have done it in our notes on Matthew 27:32-50, See Poole on "Matthew 27:32", and following verses to Matthew 27:50, to which I refer the reader, both for the understanding the several passages of this relation, and reconciling any small differences between the relations of the several evangelists. It is the observation of some, that when... read more
