Marcos 15:23-26 NVIPT

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 15:22-23

THE MORTIFICATION OF BODILY DESIRES‘And they bring Him unto the place Golgotha.… And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but He received it not.’ Mark 15:22-Isaiah : The first great law of Christian life as revealed in the Passion is obedience; the second finds expression in this incident. It is that great law of the mortification and of the disciplining of our bodily passions and desires, which is only possible through abstinence. Obedience is not within our powers, except it be... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:20-39

The Crucifixion (15:20-39). It must have come as a huge anti-climax to those who heard this story for the first time when they learned that this One Who had done such good and had taught so well should now be in a position of being led off to be crucified. We know the story so well that we take it for granted. But we also still recognise the staggering nature of it. Here was God’s beloved Son, Whose one interest had been in the needs of His fellowmen, (even if that had meant that He sometimes... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:23

‘And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh and he did not receive it.’ Theophrastus and Pliny both mention the custom of mixing wine with myrrh, but here the purpose was probably to dull the senses so that the extreme pain might be somewhat relieved. The Talmud later mentions this custom (based on Proverbs 31:6-7), a ministry carried out by pious women of Jerusalem. If so the offer was sympathetic and friendly. But Jesus did not receive it. He knew that He needed to be fully aware for He had... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:24

‘And they crucify him and part his clothes among them, casting lots on them what each should take.’ ‘They crucify Him.’ When they had reached the site they took the crosspiece and nailed Jesus hands to it. The crosspiece was then attached to the upright post and the feet loosely bound, and sometimes nailed. A young crucified man whose body was discovered near Jerusalem at Ras el-Masaref was found to have been nailed by his arms and had a nail driven through his feet. A ledge of wood called the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:25

‘And it was the third hour and they crucified him.’ The third hour would be roughly nine o’clock in the morning, reckoning twelve hours in the day from dawn, but time was not accurately calculated and he probably meant ‘about three hours had passed since dawn and it was mid-morning’. More important to him was probably the significance of the number three. It was the ‘third’ hour, the set and complete period determined by God. The sixth hour and the ninth hour, also prominent, further stress the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 15:26

‘And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.’ This superscription, written in black letters on a board smeared with white gypsum, named the criminal and what he was accused of, and would have been carried in front of Him on the way to the cross, and in accordance with Roman custom was now displayed for all to see. It said that here was the Jew’s King Messiah and that He was now suffering for it. But Mark intends the statement to stand in all its glory. As... 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

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 15:21. Compel.—Press into service: original word is of Persian origin, and denotes the impressment into service which officials were authorised to make to expedite the mails.Mark 15:26. The fact that the inscription was written in three languages is quite enough to account for the slight variations in wording.Mark 15:27. Thieves.—Robbers, or bandits.Mark 15:28. Wanting in many of the best MSS., but found in all the most ancient versions; therefore probably... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 15:23

Mark 15:23 Christ refusing any Alleviation of His Sufferings. Standing before the scene these words picture, I would ask, devoutly and earnestly: What does it mean? What light does it shed upon Christ? What help does it render us in life? I think it illustrates: I. The source of the moral majesty of the Son of Man. In this brief occurrence I read at once the greatness, and the origin, of that majestic character which raises Jesus so immeasurably above all others of the sons of men. He refused... read more
