Mark 15:15
Mark 15:15 Ver. 15. And so Pilate, willing to content the people,.... To satisfy and make them easy, who were become very noisy and tumultuous, and fearing the consequences of their resentment, should he not comply, of which he had formerly had experience; therefore to humour them, and keep in their favour, after he h…
194 wordsSECTION 242Mark 15:16
Mark 15:16 Ver. 16. And the soldiers led him away into the hall,.... From the place called the pavement, where was the judge's bench, from which he passed sentence on Christ, to a large room, called the praetorium, or judgment hall; being the hall, or room, where the praetor, or Roman magistrate, kept his court of ju…
159 wordsSECTION 243Mark 15:17
Mark 15:17 Ver. 17. And they clothed him with purple,.... Matthew calls it a "scarlet" robe; and the Persic version here renders it a "red garment": it was of a colour resembling purple; it was pretty near it, and therefore so called; which is what kings were used to wear; and so in derision of him, as a king, clothed…
119 wordsSECTION 244Mark 15:18
Mark 15:18 Ver. 18. And began to salute him, hail, king of the Jews!] In a mock way, wishing him long life and prosperity, as if he was a king just come to his throne, and this was his coronation day.…
42 wordsSECTION 245Mark 15:19
Mark 15:19 Ver. 19. And they smote him on the head with a reed,.... Or cane, a walking stick which they had put into his hands for a sceptre: this they took out again, and struck him on the head with it, which drove the sharp pointed thorns into his temples: and did spit upon him; "upon his face", as the Syriac, Arab…
3,367 wordsSECTION 246Mark 16:1
Mark 16:1 Ver. 1. And when the sabbath was past,.... "In the end of it", as Matthew says, Mt 28:1; not "when it was the sabbath", as the Arabic version reads; for it was not lawful to buy spices, and anoint with on the sabbath day; See Gill on "Mt 28:1". Mary Magdalene, and Mary, [the mother of James,] and Salome; wh…
387 wordsSECTION 247Mark 16:2
Mark 16:2 Ver. 2. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week,.... See Gill on "Mt 28:1". They came to the sepulchre at the rising of the sun; of the sun of righteousness, as Mr. Mede observes; or rather, of the natural sun: for though it was dark when they set out, and when it dawned towards the first d…
231 wordsSECTION 248Mark 16:3
Mark 16:3 Ver. 3. And they said among themselves,.... Either before they set out, or as they were going along: who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? Which they saw was placed there by Joseph, or his orders: this was the only difficulty they had, that they were aware of; for they seem to kno…
187 wordsSECTION 249Mark 16:4
Mark 16:4 Ver. 4. And when they looked,.... Towards the sepulchre, as they came near it: they saw that the stone was rolled away; they perceived it lay at some distance from the door of the sepulchre, which doubtless was very grateful, and matter of rejoicing to them: for it was very great; these words are to be rea…
134 wordsSECTION 250Mark 16:5
Mark 16:5 Ver. 5. And entering into the sepulchre,.... For the sepulchres of the Jews were made so large, that persons might go into them: the rule for making them is this {k}; "he that sells ground to his neighbour to make a burying place, or that receives of his neighbour to make a burying place, must make the insi…
447 wordsSECTION 251Mark 16:6
Mark 16:6 Ver. 6. And he saith unto them, be not affrighted,.... See Gill on "Mt 28:5", See Gill on "Mt 28:6", where the same things, and almost in the same words, are said as here.…
39 wordsSECTION 252Mark 16:7
Mark 16:7 Ver. 7. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter,.... Peter is particularly mentioned, not as distinct from the apostles, or as if he was not one of them, having sinned in the manner he had done; much less because he was the chief of them; but to comfort him in his great sorrow, on account of his fall; …
202 wordsSECTION 253Mark 16:8
Mark 16:8 Ver. 8. And they went out quickly,.... Out of the sepulchre, into which they had been, to see where Christ lay, as invited by the angel, Mr 16:6. The word "quickly", is not read in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions: "which when they heard"; that is, when they heard the angel's …
198 wordsSECTION 254Mark 16:9
Mark 16:9 Ver. 9. Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week,.... Though the word "Jesus" is not in the text, it is rightly supplied; for of the rising of no other, can the words be understood; and so the Persic version supplies "Messiah", or "Christ"; that Jesus rose from the dead on the first day o…
480 wordsSECTION 255Mark 16:10
Mark 16:10 Ver. 10. And she went and told them that had been with him,.... Not "with her", as the Persic version reads, but "with him"; that is, with Christ: she went, as she was bid by Christ, and told his disciples, what she had heard and seen; even those who had been with him from the beginning, and had heard his d…
216 wordsSECTION 256Mark 16:11
Mark 16:11 Ver. 11. And they, when they had heard that he was alive,.... That is, the apostles, and those that were with them; when they heard the report of Mary Magdalene, that Christ was raised from the dead, and was certainly alive; or of all the women, for the Syriac version reads, "when they heard them saying tha…
205 wordsSECTION 257Mark 16:12
Mark 16:12 Ver. 12. After that,.... A little time, or some few hours after, on the selfsame day; see Lu 24:13; he appeared in another form: it seems to have been the form, or habit of a gardener that he appeared in to Mary; since she thought him to be one, and to be the gardener that belonged to the garden, in which …
