Mark 14:11

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 14:1-11

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 26:1-16.Mark 14:1And of unleavened bread - So called because at that feast no other bread was used but that which had been made without leaven or yeast.By craft - By subtlety (Matthew); that is, by some secret plan that would secure possession of him without exciting the opposition of the people.Mark 14:3Ointment - This word does not convey quite the proper meaning. This was a perfume. It was used only to give a pleasant odor, and was liquid.Of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 14:10-16

Mark 14:10-16. Judas went unto the chief priests, &c. Immediately after this reproof, having anger now added to his covetousness. See these verses explained in the notes on Matthew 26:14-19. There shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water It was highly seasonable for our Lord to give them this additional proof, both of his knowing all things, and of his influence over the minds of men; follow him If our Lord meant that the man would be coming out of the city as the disciples... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 14:1-11

138. The plot to capture Jesus (Matthew 26:1-16; Mark 14:1-11; Luke 22:1-6)The Passover was only two days away, and Jesus knew its significance in relation to his coming death. Israelites kept the Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread as an annual week-long festival in commemoration of ancient Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. God ‘passed over’ those houses where a lamb had been sacrificed in the place of those under judgment (Exodus 12:1-13). The people then escaped from bondage. For the next... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 14:11

And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him unto them.Mark made no mention of the exact time of payment, but the fact of Judas' returning it that same night shows that there was no long time-lapse, perhaps only time enough for the priests to be sure that Judas would keep his part of the bargain. Regarding the amount and disposition of the thirty pieces of silver and the fulfillment of prophecy connected with this... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 14:11

11. And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money—Matthew alone records the precise sum, because a remarkable and complicated prophecy, which he was afterwards to refer to, was fulfilled by it. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him—or, as more fully given in Luke ( :-), "And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude." That he should avoid an "uproar" or "riot" among the people, which probably was made an... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:1-11

1. Jesus’ sufferings because of betrayal 14:1-11This is another section of the Gospel that has a chiastic or "sandwich" structure (cf. Mark 3:20-35; Mark 5:21-43; Mark 6:7-31; Mark 11:12-26; Mark 14:27-52). Mark’s account of the conspiracy to kill Jesus (Mark 14:1-2; Mark 14:10-11) surrounds Jesus’ anointing in Bethany (Mark 14:3-9). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:1-52

A. The Servant’s anticipation of suffering 14:1-52Several themes peak in this section. Here we have the clearest evidence that Jesus was the Messiah and the Son of God (cf. Mark 1:1; Mark 8:29). Here, too, Jesus’ conflict with the religious leaders, His foes, came to a head (cf. Mark 3:1; Mark 3:6; Mark 11:18; Mark 12:12). The ignorance and selfishness of Jesus’ disciples, His friends, also peaked (cf. Mark 3:19; Mark 6:1-6; Mark 8:31 to Mark 10:52). Finally, the Servant’s ministry climaxed in... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 14:10-11

Judas’ betrayal of Jesus 14:10-11 (cf. Matthew 26:14-16; Luke 22:3-6)If the preceding incident happened on Saturday evening and Judas betrayed Jesus on Wednesday, Mary’s act of extravagance did not lead Judas to betray Jesus immediately. The Gospel writers did not explain Judas’ reasons for betraying Jesus explicitly. It was evidently Judas’ initiative in offering to betray Jesus that led the Sanhedrin to move up their timetable for Jesus’ execution. If Judas handed Jesus over to them, they... read more
