Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 8:34-38
(34-38) And when he had called the people.—See Notes on Matthew 16:24-28. The “calling the people,” or better, the multitude, to hear what involved the apparent failure of His mission announced in the preceding verses is an addition to St. Matthew’s narrative. It is confirmed by St. Luke’s “He said unto all” (Luke 9:23). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 8:35
(35) And the gospel’s.—In St. Matthew we find simply “for Me.” The addition is significant, as showing that though our Lord demanded in the first instance entire personal devotion, it was for Himself as identified with the cause of the good news from God of which He had borne witness, and of which He was to be the martyr (John 18:37). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 8:36-37
(36, 37) His own soul.—Better, life in both verses. The word “lose” is not the same as in Mark 8:35, and had, perhaps, better be rendered forfeit, as implying, what the other word does not necessarily imply, the idea of a penalty. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 8:1-38
The Compassion of the Christ Mark 8:1-2 So spake the Christ; so wrote the Holy Spirit; short, simple words, 'I have compassion'; pregnant with strength and with comfort for the toiling and heaving crowds of each succeeding age. There was nothing attractive then, even as there is nothing attractive now, in an eastern crowd. The motive power of the miracle was the eternal love of God manifest in the flesh. I. Observe how Christ takes the disciples into His confidence. Then, as now, He demanded... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 8:36-37
The psyche in these verses means the essential person. It is foolish to preserve one’s comforts now because by doing so one sacrifices something of much greater value that God would give him or her. The "whole world" comprehends earthly possessions, position, pleasure, and power-all that the world can provide. Mark 8:37 stresses the irrevocable nature of the choice. read more
