Mark 14:29-31

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 14:27-31

14:27-31 Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away from me, for it stands written, 'I will smite the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.' But after I have been raised to life again, I will go before you into Galilee." Peter said to him, "All the others may fail away from you, but I will not." Jesus said to him, "This is the truth I tell you--today, this night, before the cock crows twice you will deny me three times." Peter began to insist vehemently, "If I must die with you I will... read more

But Peter said unto him ,.... Being greatly moved at what Christ had said, that all of them would be offended with him that night, and run away from him, and be scattered from him, and one another: although all shall be offended, yet will not I ; though all the rest of the disciples, the other ten, should do as Judas had done, should fall off from Christ, and either betray him, or deny him, or, at least, turn their backs on him, yet he would do neither; See Gill on Matthew 26:33 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:30

And Jesus saith unto him, verily I say unto thee ,.... As confident as thou art of standing by me, and abiding with me; that this day , which was then begun; for the Jews reckoned their days from evening, as in Genesis 1:5 ; even in this night ; this night to be observed, this night of the passover, before it is past: before the cock crow twice ; for there was a first and second cock crowing, the one at midnight, and the other near break of day, and which last is properly the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:31

But he spake the more vehemently ,.... With a louder voice; with more spirit and eagerness; in a more peremptory and self-confident way. If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise . The Syriac version adds, "O my Lord", my dear Lord, I will never deny thee upon any consideration whatever; and the Persic version, O Lord: likewise also said they all ; as he said, so said "all the disciples", as the Syriac version reads it; See Gill on Matthew 26:35 . read more

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 !

Warnings. I. HUMAN NATURE IS NOT TO BE DEPENDED ON . The most loyal hearts are not fear-proof. Men act much like sheep; are gregarious both in good and in evil. Often they will follow a leader through the greatest dangers; remove the leader, and throw them upon themselves, and courage vanishes, and we know how frail a thing our nature is. Jesus foreknew all this. II. YET DIVINE LOVE TRUSTS OUR NATURE . Jesus knew that he should return and again gather... read more
