Mark 15:29 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 15:29-32

15:29-32 Those who were passing by hurled their insults at him, wagging their heads at him. "Aha!" they said, "you who are going to pull down the Temple and build it in three days, come down from the Cross and save yourself!" Even so the chief priests jested with each other, with the experts in the law. "He saved others," they said, "He cannot save himself. Let this Anointed One of God, this King of Israel, come down from the Cross, so that we may see it and believe." And those who were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 15:29

And they that passed by ,.... In the road, and went by the cross. The Arabic version adds, "before him", Christ, as he hung on the cross: railed on him, wagging their heads ; gave him opprobrious language, and used indecent gestures; and saying, ah! thou that destroyest the temple ; the Vulgate Latin version adds, "of God": and buildest it in three days ; thou poor vain miserable creature, that boasted of thy power, where art thou now? and what dost thou think of thyself? 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 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

And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads . Here was another fulfillment of prophecy, and other aggravation of the misery of Christ. "All they that see me laugh me to scorn they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him; let him deliver him, seeing he delighteth in him" ( Psalms 22:7 , Psalms 22:8 ). The torment of crucifixion itself was terrible; but it was a still greater torment to the Crucified to be insulted in... read more

158. The crucifixion (Matthew 27:33-44; Mark 15:22-32; Luke 23:32-43; John 19:18-24)Golgotha, the place of Jesus’ crucifixion, was a hill beside a main road just outside Jerusalem. The procession arrived there about 9 a.m. (Matthew 27:33; Mark 15:25). (It is difficult to calculate the exact times of all the incidents that took place on the day of Jesus’ crucifixion. People in those days did not carry clocks, and the times given in the Gospels are only approximate. In some cases the writers may... read more
