The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:26-31

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

Parallel passages: Matthew 26:30-46 ; Luke 22:39-46 ; John 18:1 .— The agony in Gethsemane. I. SCENE AND SEVERAL CIRCUMSTANCES CONNECTED WITH THE AGONY . 1 . Anticipation . From the entrance of our Savior upon his public ministry his life was one of continued trial. All along symptoms of the approaching crisis appeared, all along the bitter cup was steadily filling, all along the clouds were gradually gathering. At length, towards the close of his career,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:27

All ye shall be offended . The words which follow in the Authorized Version, "because of me this night," are not to be found in the best manuscripts and versions. They appear to have been imported from St. Matthew. Shall be offended ( σκανδαλισθήσεσθε ); literally, shall be caused to stumble. Our Lord was to prove "a stone of stumbling" to many, not excluding his own disciples. Even they, under the influence of terror, would for a time lose confidence and hope in him. For it is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:27-31

Anticipation. Long before had our Lord clearly realized what would be the end of his ministry of benevolence and self-denial. The prospect of ungrateful violence leading to a cruel death had not deterred him from efforts for the good of those whom he loved and pitied. And now that the blow was just about to fall upon him, his mind was no less steadfast, although his heart was saddened. I. JESUS ANTICIPATES HIS OWN SUFFERINGS , AND THE RESURRECTION WHICH SHOULD ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:27-31

Peter's denial foretold. Christ's thoughts dwelt constantly upon the prophecies that foretold the sufferings and death of the Son of man. They were passing through his spiritual consciousness, voluntarily adopted as the expression of his own inward life, and consequently wrought out in external actions. He now quotes Zechariah 13:7 . It taught him how absolutely solitary his position would be in judgment and death, as other passages had done; and suggested to him the reason for it. I.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:27-72

Peter's fall. The painful declaration that the words of the prophet, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad," would find their fulfillment in them, and in "All ye shall be offended," roused Peter's spirit, and with a bold but mistaken estimate of his own courage and devotion, he fearlessly, even presumptuously, affirmed, "Although all shall be offended, yet will not I." St. Luke has preserved for us words which throw much light upon the incident of Peter's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:28

Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee . This our Lord said to reassure them. Galilee was more like home to them than Jerusalem, and they would there be less afraid of the unbelieving Jews. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:29

But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. Our Lord had just distinctly stated that they would all be offended, and therefore these words of St. Peter were very presumptuous. Conscious of his own infirmities, he ought to have said, "I know that through my own infirmity this may easily happen. Nevertheless, I trust to thy mercy and goodness to save me." Just such is the Christian's daily experience. We often think that we are strong in the faith, strong in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:30

Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice . The day had begun. It began at six in the evening. It was already advanced. This second crowing of the cock is mentioned by St. Mark only; and it forms an additional aggravation of Peter's sin. The "cockcrowing" was a term used for one of the divisions of the night. But it appears that there were three times at which the cock-crowing might be expected—namely, The two cock crowings... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:31

But he spake exeseding vehemently ( ἐκπερισσῶς ἐλάλει ), If I must die with thee ( ἐάν με δέρ ), I will not deny thee. The right reading ( ἐλάλει , imperfect) implies that he kept asserting over and over again. He was, no doubt, sincere in all this, but he had vet to learn his own weakness. St. Hilary says on this, "Peter was so carried away by the fervor of his zeal and love for Christ, that he regarded neither the weakness of his own flesh nor the truth of his... read more
