F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 14:53-72

a Mockery of Justice Mark 14:53-72 A commission of the chief priests awaited the result of the treachery of Judas at the house of Caiaphas. They had made up their minds what to do, but the form of a trial was necessary. The false witnesses were obviously unable to establish a sufficient case, and our Lord maintained a dignified silence. It was too much for Caiaphas, and he put his prisoner on his oath. Our Lord made no attempt to parry the issue or turn aside from the challenge, but replied:... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:55-59

‘Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to bring about his death, and did not find it. For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree together. And there stood up certain and bore false witness against him, saying, “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands’.” And not even so did their witness agree together.’ It is clear from this how tied they... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:53-65

Mark 14:53-Jude : . The Trial before the Sanhedrin.— This trial is irregular in many ways. It was unlawful to hold such a trial at night. It is not, therefore, unhistorical (Montefiore, i. 345f.). Mk. speaks of the whole Sanhedrin meeting and of all condemning Jesus ( Mark 14:55; Mark 14:64). This is his customary popular exaggeration, prompted here by desire to throw the guilt on all the religious leaders of Judaism ( cf. Mark 15:1). The trial is really a preliminary investigation— a search... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 14:53-65

This history of our Saviour’s examination before the high priest we had in Matthew 26:57-68; See Poole on "Matthew 26:57", and following verses to Matthew 26:68. It should seem the high priests and council were very eager upon this thing. This council seems to have sat up all night, for early in the morning they carried him (condemned by them) to Pilate, and before twelve they brought him out of the city to be crucified. These wretched hypocrites had but the evening before been taking the... 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

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
