Mark 14:17-21

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 14:12-31

In these verses we have, I. Christ's eating the passover with his disciples, the night before he died, with the joys and comforts of which ordinance he prepared himself for his approaching sorrows, the full prospect of which did not indispose him for that solemnity. Note, No apprehension of trouble, come or coming, should put us by, or put us out of frame for, our attendance on holy ordinances, as we have opportunity for it. 1. Christ ate the passover at the usual time when the other Jews did,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 14:17-21

14:17-21 When it was evening, Jesus came with the Twelve. As they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, "This is the truth I tell you--one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me," They began to be grieved, and to say to him, one by one, "Surely it cannot be I?" He said to them, "One of the Twelve, one who dips his hand with me into the dish. The Son of Man goes as it stands written about him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It had been good for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:17

And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. In the afternoon, as it is very reasonable to suppose, Christ set out from Bethany with the rest of the twelve, with the other nine, and came to Jerusalem; where they were joined by Judas, who had covenanted with the chief priests to betray him, and by Peter and John, who had been sent before to prepare the passover; and when it was night, when the second evening had took place, he went with all twelve of them to the house, where the provision to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:18

And as they sat and did eat ,.... Or "as they lay along"; for such was their posture at the eating of the passover; See Gill on Matthew 26:20 , Jesus said, verily I say unto you, one of you which eateth with me shall betray me ; See Gill on Matthew 26:21 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:19

And they began to be sorrowful ,.... And were so, all but Judas, at this saying of Christ's: and to say unto him, one by one ; even till it came to Judas himself, is it I? that shall betray thee; and another said, is it I? This clause is wanting in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and in two of Beza's copies; and indeed seems to be redundant, since the disciples are said before to express themselves in this manner, one by one; See Gill on Matthew... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:20

And he answered and said unto them ,.... In order to relieve their minds, and point out the particular person: it is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish ; just at that very instant; See Gill on Matthew 26:23 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:21

The son of man indeed goeth ,.... Out of this world by death, as it is written ; both in the book of God's decrees, and in the Scriptures of the Old Testament; but woe to that man by whom the son of man is betrayed ! whose sin will not be excused, nor lessened by fulfilling the decrees of God, and by accomplishing the prophecies of the Bible: good were it for that man if he had never been born ; so aggravating will be his crime, so dreadful his punishment; See Gill on Matthew... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:19

And another said, Is it I? - This clause is wanting in BCLP, seventeen others, Syriac, Persic, Arabic, Coptic, Ethiopic, Vulgate, and four of the Itala. Griesbach leaves it doubtful: others leave it out. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:20

That dippeth with me in the dish - In the east, persons never eat together from one dish, except when a strong attachment subsists between two or more persons of the same caste; in such a case one invites another to come and sit by him and eat from the same dish. This custom seems to have existed among the Jews; and the sacred historian mentions this notice of our Lord's, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish, to mark more strongly the perfidy of the character of Judas. read more
