Bible Commentary

Mark 14:43-50

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The betrayal.

I. A TRANSCENDENT CRIME. Because of:

1. The character of Jesus.

2. The betrayer's relations to him. Ingratitude. Callous selfishness. Breach of trust.

3. Circumstances of the act. Intrusion upon holy retirement. Simulation of highest regard and purest sentiment. The spiritual interests of humanity trifled with.

II. A SUPREME FOLLY AND FAILURE. Overdone. Foreseen. Ending in contempt and misery.—M.
