How preachers through history handled this text
63 public-domain excerpts on Mark 14, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“We have here Christ's condemnation before the great council of the Jews. Peter followed; but the high priest's fire-side was no proper place, nor his servants proper company, for Peter: it was an entrance into temptation. Great diligence was used to procure false witnesses against Jesus, yet their testimony was not equal to the charge of a capital crime, by the utmost stretch of their law. He was asked, Art thou the Son of the Blessed? that is, the Son of God. For the proof of his being the Son of God, he refers to his second coming. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Mark 14:53–65 (Public Domain)
