Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 14:32-36

Mark ‘STRONG CRYING AND TEARS’ Mar_14:32 - Mar_14:42 . The three who saw Christ’s agony in Gethsemane were so little affected that they slept. We have to beware of being so little affected that we speculate and seek to analyse rather than to bow adoringly before that mysterious and heart-subduing sight. Let us remember that the place is ‘holy ground.’ It was meant that we should look on the Christ who prayed ‘with strong crying and tears,’ else the three sleepers would not have accompanied... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 14:37

Mark ‘ STRONG CRYING AND TEARS’ THE SLEEPING APOSTLE Mar_14:37 . It is a very old Christian tradition that this Gospel is in some sense the Apostle Peter’s. There are not many features in the Gospel itself which can be relied on as confirming this idea. Perhaps one such may be found in this plaintive remonstrance, which is only preserved for us here. Matthew’s Gospel, indeed, tells us that the rebuke was addressed to Peter, but blunts the sharp point of it as directed to him, by throwing it... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 14:17-31

the Last Supper Mark 14:17-31 The two disciples made their preparations, returned to Bethany, and later the whole company came in together. The simple meal, consisting of the Passover lamb, unleavened cakes, bitter herbs, and wine, proceeded in the usual way, interspersed with the singing of the Hallel, Psalms 113:1-9 ; Psalms 114:1-8 ; Psalms 115:1-18 ; Psalms 116:1-19 ; Psalms 117:1-2 ; Psalms 118:1-29 . How well it is when we do not need the accusation, “Thou art the man,” because we... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 14:32-52

Alone in the Hour of Trial Mark 14:32-52 When the soul is overwhelmed, it seeks to be alone, and yet not too far from human sympathy and help. The three most trusted might enter the enclosure, but even they could not share the depth of the Master’s anguish, which was so great as to threaten His very life. He cried to Him who could save Him from dying before His trial and sentence, and was saved from what He feared. Our Lord did not shrink from physical suffering, but from the horror of... read more
