Commentaries on Mark 8:38
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 38Whosoever - shall be ashamed of me - Our Lord hints here at one of the principal reasons of the incredulity of the Jews, - they saw nothing in the person of Jesus Christ which corresponded to the pompous notions which they had formed of the Messiah.

And there is a day coming, when the cause of Christ…Read the comment
