Marcos 15:30-41 RVA

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:35

‘And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, “See, he calls Elijah.” ’ We know that Elijah was later looked on as the one who could be called on in time of religious need. It would appear from this that the idea may already have been prevalent. Or perhaps they saw the cry as a call for Elijah now to make his appearance as the forerunner for the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord, a cry for God to act in this time of His extremity (Malachi 4:5). We do not know who... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:36

‘And one ran, and filling a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed and gave him it to drink, saying, “Let be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down.” ’ Previously the soldiers present had offered Him sour wine in mockery (Luke 23:36). This may thus be the continuation of the mockery. But more probably it was a sympathiser who genuinely believed that Elijah might come to save Him. The sour wine was a poor man’s drink but if these had come to sympathise with One Whom they had... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:37

‘And Jesus, having uttered a loud cry, breathed his last.’ The loud cry was ‘it is finished’, followed by the quieter, “Father, into your hands I commend my Spirit.” (John 19:30; Luke 23:46). The loud cry was remembered by all, contributing as it did to the eeriness of the occasion. It is possible that ‘it is finished’ represented the final words of Psalms 22:0 ‘He has done it’. Certainly it was a cry of triumph that God’s purposes had been accomplished. ‘Breathed His last.’ From beginning to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:38

‘And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.’ Matthew links this event with an earthquake, ‘the earth quaked and the rocks were torn’ (Matthew 27:51). There were two veils in the Temple. The one which covered the entry to the Holy Place and the other which separated the Holy Place from the Holiest of All. It was probably the latter which is described here, the veil regularly referred to in Hebrews (Mark 6:19; Mark 9:3; Mark 10:20). Either way its tearing apart on the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:39

‘And when the centurion who stood opposite him saw that he so (cried out and) breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God”.’ The awesome events on that day had produced their own effects in the centurion in charge of the guard. And when he saw the way that Jesus died he cried out ‘truly this man was the Son of God’. He would mean by that that he was impressed by the fact that Jesus was in some way divine. What he meant by ‘Son of God’ is open to question for we know nothing... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:40-41

‘And there were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome, who when he was in Galilee ministered to him, and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.’ The mention of the women is in preparation for what lies ahead (Mark 15:47 to Mark 16:1). Here we learn that they were at the cross but keeping their distance, although at some stage, along with John, some were close enough for Jesus to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:40-47

Laying Jesus To Rest (15:40-47). The women who had ministered to Jesus and His disciples were gathered at the cross. It is impossible to imagine the feelings in their hearts as they saw the figure of their beloved Master hanging on the cross. But they were determined to wait it out to the end, and do what they could to see that His beloved body was given proper burial. Although they probably had no idea how they would do it. And then to theirs and everyone’s surprise a member of the Sanhedrin,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:21-32

Mark 15:21-Jonah : * The Crucifixion.— Usually the criminal himself carried his cross ( i.e. the cross-bar, probably not the upright). Jesus seems to have been exhausted by the scourging and by His own sorrow. Simon of Cyrene was forced into His service. The reference to Simon’ s children is pointless unless they were known to Mk.’ s readers (HNT). Rufus is mentioned in Romans 16:13 and Alexander in Acts 19:33, 1 Timothy 1:20 (but they are not necessarily the same men as those to whom Mk.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 15:21-37

To make this history complete, all the other evangelists must be consulted, and compared with Mark, who omits many considerable passages recorded by them; we have done it in our notes on Matthew 27:32-50, See Poole on "Matthew 27:32", and following verses to Matthew 27:50, to which I refer the reader, both for the understanding the several passages of this relation, and reconciling any small differences between the relations of the several evangelists. It is the observation of some, that when... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 15:38-41

The prodigies happening upon the death of our Saviour, and the passages happening between the time of his expiration and his burial, are more largely reported by the other evangelists than by Mark; we have put them all together, and considered the passages relating to them, in our notes on Matthew 27:51-54. See Poole on "Matthew 27:51", and following verses to Matthew 27:54. read more
