Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:61

‘Again the high priest asks him and says to him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” ‘The High Priest asks Him.’ Matthew adds, “I adjure you by the living God.” This was requiring testimony from the prisoner under an oath before God. But while the inquisitor had the right to adjure witnesses in this way, who were then bound to reply and tell the truth under threat of severe penalty, it is very questionable whether it was legal to do the same to make a man incriminate himself. There... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:62

‘The Blessed.’ An indirect reference to God. ‘And Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven.” In Mark His ‘I am’ is a direct Messianic claim, and more. Matthew 26:64 and Luke 22:70 make the reply more indirect as do some important authorities here - ‘you say that I am’. But it is the expression that is different. The essence is the same. Jesus did not deny His Messiahship by either answer. Mark simply translates... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:63-64

‘And the high priest tore his clothes and says, “What further need do we have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.’ It is significant that Jesus had replied by simply quoting Scripture. Strictly what had He said was not blasphemous. But the mood of the investigation and the High Priest’s histrionic behaviour put the worst interpretation on it, and to be fair it was an interpretation that we know to be true. Jesus was... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:53-65

Mark 14:53-Jude : . The Trial before the Sanhedrin.— This trial is irregular in many ways. It was unlawful to hold such a trial at night. It is not, therefore, unhistorical (Montefiore, i. 345f.). Mk. speaks of the whole Sanhedrin meeting and of all condemning Jesus ( Mark 14:55; Mark 14:64). This is his customary popular exaggeration, prompted here by desire to throw the guilt on all the religious leaders of Judaism ( cf. Mark 15:1). The trial is really a preliminary investigation— a search... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 14:53-65

This history of our Saviour’s examination before the high priest we had in Matthew 26:57-68; See Poole on "Matthew 26:57", and following verses to Matthew 26:68. It should seem the high priests and council were very eager upon this thing. This council seems to have sat up all night, for early in the morning they carried him (condemned by them) to Pilate, and before twelve they brought him out of the city to be crucified. These wretched hypocrites had but the evening before been taking the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 14:63-64

Mark 14:63-64 The Godhead of Christ. I. On a certain most important occasion, Christ Himself asserted His Godhead in a manner which could not possibly be misunderstood. He allowed Himself to be put to death on a charge of blasphemy. At a most solemn juncture, and under the most solemn circumstances, He accepted a title, the acceptance of which, as He well knew, would be considered and treated as blasphemous. The conclusion is inevitable. If Christ be God, the whole procedure is in accordance... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 14:1-72

After two days was the feast of the passover ( Mark 14:1 ),Now, we have followed and traced Jesus in Mark's gospel through Sunday, His triumphant entry. Monday, when He came back to the temple and cleansed it. And Tuesday, when He came back again and fielded these questions, and where the disciples showed Him the building and He said, "Not one stone is going to be left standing up on the other," back to the Mount of Olives Tuesday evening with His disciples, as He sits down there and makes... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 14:1-72

Mark 14:1-2 . After two days was the passover, when the chief priests and the scribes sought to form their plan, how they might surprise the Saviour and put him to death. Their scheme to do it after the passover was sacrificed, and the people returned to the country, was very prudent, in order to prevent an insurrection. But how then would the scriptures have been fulfilled, in regard of the sprinkling of the Lamb’s blood for our redemption from sin, and the tyranny of Satan. Mark 14:3 . ... read more

Mark 14:61-62But He held His peace.Eloquent silenceThere is a silence which is often more eloquent than speech, means more than any words, and speaks ten times more powerfully to the heart. Such, for example, is the silence when the heart is too full for utterance, and the organs of speech are choked by the whelming tide of emotion. The sight of a great man so shaken, and quivering with feeling, that the tongue can give no voice to what the heart feels, is of all human rhetoric the most potent.... read more
