Mark 15:22 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 15:22-32

We have here the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus. I. The place where he was crucified; it was called Golgotha?the place of a scull: some think, because of the heads of malefactors that were there cut off: it was the common place of execution, as Tyburn, for he was in all respects numbered with the transgressors. I know not how to give any credit to it, but divers of the ancients mention it as a current tradition, that in this place our first father Adam was buried, and they think it highly... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 15:21-28

15:21-28 And they impressed into service a man called Simon of Cyrene, who was passing by, on his way in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, and they made him carry his Cross. So they brought him to the place Golgotha, which means the place of a skull. They offered him wine mingled with myrrh, but he would not take it. They crucified him. And they divided out his garments, throwing dice for them to decide who should take what. It was nine o'clock in the morning when they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 15:22

And they bring him unto the place, Golgotha ,.... A famous, or rather an infamous one, well known, and much noted for the many executions there: which is, being interpreted, the place of a skull ; because the skulls of men that had been executed and buried there, being dug up again, lay scattered about; See Gill on Matthew 27:33 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 15:16-32

The mockery of Jesus. The scene, the courtyard of the governor's residence; the actors, the Roman soldiery and the Son of God; and the awful fate that awaited the Sufferer, render this mockery one of the most impressive incidents in human history. It was deliberate, brutal, and inhuman. I. WHAT IT WAS IN HIM THAT WAS MOCKED . The crown and the purple and the sham homage are interpreted by the cry, "Hail, King of the Jews!" 1 . It was his kingly pretensions they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 15:16-32

The crucifixion: the human deed. To the contemplation of that supreme fact in history, around which the thoughts, the hearts, of men gather more and more, we are directed by the few sad, solemn words, "Pilate … delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified." The preliminary incidents are minutely related. They describe the most solemn mockery ever perpetrated. The scourging first. He is stripped to the waist, his hands tied behind him; his bent back is beaten with leathern... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 27:27-56 ; Luke 23:26-49 ; John 19:17-37 .— The closing scene. I. THE CRUCIFIXION AND ACCOMPANYING EVENTS , 1 . The words of the Creed. The words of the Creed, "crucified under Pontius Pilate," are familiar to almost every young person who has been trained in the Christian religion.

The crucifixion. The bigots and the mob have gained their end, and now have their own way with "the Holy One and the Just." The power of Rome is brought into the service of Jewish fanaticism and malice. All evil influences have conspired together. Now is their hour and the power of darkness. The world's sin has culminated in the rejection of the world's Savior. All happens as has been foreseen in the counsels of God, and foretold by inspired prophets and by the Son of man himself. The... read more

The Crucifixion. I. THERE MAY BE A BLESSING IN ENFORCED SERVICE . Simon the Cyrenian is raised into the light of history; perhaps to teach us this. No nobler honor for the Christian than to reflect, "I have been called to bear the cross." And for some to reflect, "I was forced into carrying the cross I would have refused, or left on the ground." So with that other Simon, surnamed Peter. II. PAIN IS RATHER TO BE STRUGGLED WITH THAN ARTIFICIALLY ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 15:22

And they bring him ( φέρουσιν ); literally, they bear him. At Mark 15:20 another word has been used ἐξάγουσιν "they lead him out." It seems as though, when they had reached the gate of the city, they saw symptoms that our Lord was fainting under his burden; and so they pressed Simon into the service, that he might be ready to assist. At first our Lord carried his own cross. Tradition says (Cornelius a Lapide) that the cross was fifteen feet long, the transverse limb being eight... read more

Mark 15:22-28. They bring him, unto the place Golgotha See these verses elucidated in the notes on Matthew 27:33-44. When they had crucified him, they parted his garments Mark seems to intimate, that they first nailed him to the cross, then parted his garments, and afterward reared up the cross. The English word to crucify, denotes properly, to put to death by nailing to the cross; but the Greek word σταυροω , here used, means no more than to fasten to the cross with nails. In strict... read more
