Commentaries on Mark 14:72
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 72And when he thought thereon, he wept - Or, he fell a weeping. This Mr. Wakefield thinks comes nearest to the original, . Others think it means the wrapping of his head in the skirts of his garment, through shame and anguish. Others think that rather refers to the violence, or hurry, with which he left the place, being impelled thereto by the terrors and remorse of his guilty conscience.

When Peter remembered what Jesus had said, he began to weep.Read the comment

And the second time the cock crew--The other three Evangelists, who mention but one crowing of the cock--and that not the first, but the second and last one of Mark--all say the cock crew "immediately," but Luke (Lu 22:60) says, "Immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew." Alas!--But now comes the wonderful sequel. The Redeemer's Look upon Peter, and Peter's Bitter Tears (Mr 14:72; Lu 22:61, 62). It has been observed that while the beloved…Read the comment
