Mark 14:25

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 14:22-26

14:22-26 As they were eating, Jesus took a loaf and gave thanks for it, and broke it and gave it to them and said, "Take this. This is my body." And, after he had given thanks, he took a cup and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And he said to them, "This is the blood of the new covenant which is being shed for many. Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God." And, after they had sung the Psalm, they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:25

Verily I say unto you ,.... This seems, to have been said after the eating of the passover, according to Luke 22:18 , but was, in reality, not till after the Lord's supper was ended, and the last cup was drank, which was wont to be drank at the passover: I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine ; that is, wine, until that day that I drink it new ; in a figurative and mystical sense; by which are meant the joys of heaven: in the kingdom of God ; Father, Son, and Spirit,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:10-52

Betrayal. We now approach the darkest of all the dark hours through which our Redeemer passed in this world, so overcast with clouds. "The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of men." It was by "one of the twelve," and "unto the chief priests," and for "money I. What lessons on THE FRAILTY OF THE POOR HUMAN HEART ! The hand that received "the sop," that dipped into the same dish with Jesus, received into its hardened palm the miserable pittance—a slave's price. Ah! even... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:12-26

The Paschal supper. The Lord's Supper is a distinctively Christian ordinance. Yet this record shows us that it was our Lord's design that it should be linked on to an observance with which his disciples were already familiar. He thus took advantage of a principle in human nature, and connected the associations and recollections which to the Hebrew mind were most sacred, with what was to be one of the holiest and most pathetic engagements of his people throughout all time. I. THE ... read more

The Lord's Supper. During the process of the betrayal, the "first day of unleavened bread" came round, and "the Master," with "his disciples" in "a large upper room furnished and ready," sat and together partook of the Passover. It was the last time. The long series of observances begun in Egypt had now come to an end. Before the next year should bring round the time of the Passover, it would be "fulfilled in the kingdom of God." A deeper and wider meaning would be given to it. Another... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:22-25

The Lord's Supper. A good title, as it was an evening meal; and it was appropriated to a new and special purpose by our Lord, in connection with whom its significance is received. He is the Host, while his disciples are the guests. Consider it:— I. IN RELATION TO THE PASSOVER . The general meaning of the Passover was perpetuated in a spiritual sense. There was: 1 . A transfer . Not of the whole Passover, but of a portion. It was during the progress of that meal, "as... read more

The Lord's Supper a celebration of death. It is elsewhere spoken of as a "memorial," i.e. a funeral feast for the Savior. Not merely a vain regret, an indulgence of disconsolate affection, but— I. A CELEBRATION OF DEATH AS COMPLETED SELF - SACRIFICE . 1 . Therefore all that was most precious in the life was secured, in the highest degree and the best way, as a blessing for others . The early disciples were not handling mangled, useless remains, but touching a... read more
