Mark 15:27 NIV

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

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

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 Pulpit Commentary - Mark 15:21-32

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 15:27

And with him they crucify two robbers ( λησταί )—not "thieves" ( κλέπται ); St. Luke ( Luke 23:32 ) shows that these two robbers formed a part of the procession to Calvary; but they were crucified after our Lord —one on his right hand, and one on his left . We know from St. Luke ( Luke 23:40 ) that one of these malefactors was saved; while it would appear that the other died in his sins. And thus Christ upon his cross, between these two men, and with the title of King over his... read more
