Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 14:27-42

(27) And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. (28) But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. (29) But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. (30) And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this day, even in this night, before the dock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. (31) But he spake the more vehemently, If I... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:32-42

32-42 Christ's sufferings began with the sorest of all, those in his soul. He began to be sorely amazed; words not used in St. Matthew, but very full of meaning. The terrors of God set themselves in array against him, and he allowed him to contemplate them. Never was sorrow like unto his at this time. Now he was made a curse for us; the curses of the law were laid upon him as our Surety. He now tasted death, in all the bitterness of it. This was that fear of which the apostle speaks, the... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 14:1-99

Mark 14 AS WE OPEN this chapter, we come back to historical details, and reach the closing moments of our Lord’s life. Verses Mark 14.1-14.11 provide us with a very striking introduction to the last scenes. In verses Mar_14:1 and 2, crafty hatred rises to its climax. In verses Mar_14:10 and 11, the supreme exhibition of heartless treachery is briefly recorded. The verses between tell a story of devoted love on the part of an insignificant woman its beauty enhanced by the story standing... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 14:32-34

The beginning of the agony: v. 32. And they came to a place which was called Gethsemane; and He saith to His disciples, Sit ye here while I shall pray. v. 33. And He taketh with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed and to be very heavy; v. 34. and saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death. Tarry ye here and watch. During the discussion which followed the prediction of Christ they had reached the goal of their journey, Gethsemane. At the entrance... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Mark 14:32-52

3. Gethsemane and the Betrayal; or, the Lord’s sorrow of Soul.—The coming of the Traitor. Mark 14:32-42.—The Betrayal and its Effect. The Arrest of the Lord. The Flight of the Disciples.

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 14:32-36

Mark ‘STRONG CRYING AND TEARS’ Mar_14:32 - Mar_14:42 . The three who saw Christ’s agony in Gethsemane were so little affected that they slept. We have to beware of being so little affected that we speculate and seek to analyse rather than to bow adoringly before that mysterious and heart-subduing sight. Let us remember that the place is ‘holy ground.’ It was meant that we should look on the Christ who prayed ‘with strong crying and tears,’ else the three sleepers would not have accompanied... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 14:32-52

Alone in the Hour of Trial Mark 14:32-52 When the soul is overwhelmed, it seeks to be alone, and yet not too far from human sympathy and help. The three most trusted might enter the enclosure, but even they could not share the depth of the Master’s anguish, which was so great as to threaten His very life. He cried to Him who could save Him from dying before His trial and sentence, and was saved from what He feared. Our Lord did not shrink from physical suffering, but from the horror of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 14:1-72

Mary, conscious of the sorrow of death which was in her Lord's soul, poured out the rarest gift she possessed, and so anointed Him beforehand for His burial. Her name is forever redolent of pure devotion. Two sets of arrangements are here chronicled, those of Judas an3 Jesus, yet both converging to the same end under the sovereign will and power of Jehovah. Jesus gathered round Him those who were, according to His own teaching, most nearly related to Him (see 3:34,35), and so grafted the new... read more

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
