John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:48

And Jesus answered and said unto them ,.... To the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, that came with the band and officers, as appears from Luke 22:52 . The Persic version reads, "to the multitude": are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and with staves, to take me ? See Gill on Matthew 26:55 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:49

I was daily with you in the temple ,.... That is, for several days past; ever since he made his public entry into Jerusalem: teaching ; the people, in a public manner: and ye took me not ; did not attempt to lay hands on him, seize him, and carry him away; which he signifies might have been easily done; See Gill on Matthew 26:55 . But the Scriptures must be fulfilled : which spoke of the betraying him by Judas; and of their taking him in this private and secret manner; and of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:50

And they all forsook him and fled. That is, his disciples, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read; and who seem to have transcribed it from Matthew, and lest it should be thought, that the multitude whom Christ addressed, were intended. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:51

And there followed him a certain young man ,.... Some think this was John, the beloved disciple, and the youngest of the disciples; others, that it was James, the brother of our Lord; but he does not seem to be any of the disciples of Christ, since he is manifestly distinguished from them, who all forsook him and fled: some have thought, that he was a young man of the house, where Christ and his disciples ate their passover; who had followed him to the garden, and still followed him, to see... read more

And he left the linen cloth ,.... "In their hands", so the Persic version renders it; just as Joseph left his garment in the hands of his mistress, Genesis 39:12 ; and fled from them naked ; to the house from whence he came. The Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, leave out the words "from them". read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:36

Abba, Father - This Syriac word, which intimates filial affection and respect, and parental tenderness, seems to have been used by our blessed Lord merely considered as man, to show his complete submission to his Father's will, and the tender affection which he was conscious his Father had for him, Abba , Syriac, is here joined to ὁ πατηρ , Greek, both signifying father; so St. Paul, Romans 8:15 ; Galatians 4:6 . The reason is, that from the time in which the Jews became conversant... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:51

A certain young man - Probably raised from his sleep by the noise which the rabble made who came to apprehend Jesus, having wrapped the sheet or some of the bed-clothing about him, became thereby the more conspicuous: on his appearing, he was seized; but as they had no way of holding him, but only by the cloth which was wrapped round him, he disengaged himself from that, and so escaped out of their hands. This circumstance is not related by any other of the evangelists. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:52

And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked - It has often been intimated, by the inhabitants of India, that a European in strait clothes must be in great danger when his clothes take fire. From their loose clothing they can suddenly disengage themselves. When two Hindoos are engaged in a violent quarrel, and one seizes the clothing of the other, often the latter will leave his clothes in the hands of his opponent, and flee away naked. This seems to have been the case with the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:51

Verse 51 Mark 14:51.And a young man. How some persons have come to dream that this was John (221) I know not, nor is it of much importance to inquire. The chief point is, to ascertain for what purpose Mark has related this transaction. I think that his object was, to inform us that those wicked men — as usually happens in riotous assemblies stormed and raved without shame or modesty; which appeared from their seizing a young man who was unknown to them, and not suspected of any crime, so that... read more
