Vincent, [1886]\nThe feast of the passover and the unleavened bread (\u03c4\u1f78 \u03c0\u03ac\u03c3\u03c7\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c4\u1f70 \u1f04\u03b6\u03c5\u03bc\u03b1)\nLit., the passover and the unleavened. It was really one and the same festival.\nSought (\u1f10\u03b6\u03ae\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd)\nImperfect tense: were all this while seeking\nAlabaster box\nSee on Mat 26:7.\nSpikenard (\u03bd\u03ac\u03c1\u03b4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u1fc6\u03c2)\nThe meaning of \u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u1fc6\u03c2 greatly disputed. The best authorities define it genuine or unadulterated: pure nard.\nBrake\nPossibly by striking the brittle neck of the flask. This detail is peculiar to Mark.\nTo what purpose, etc\nSee on Mat 26:8.\nMurmured (\u1f10\u03bd\u03b5\u03b2\u03c1\u03b9\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf)\nSee on Mar 1:43.\nGood\nSee on Mat 26:10.\nAnd whensoever ye will, etc\nNote Mark's amplification.\nShe hath done what she could (\u1f45 \u1f14\u03c3\u03c7\u03b5\u03bd \u1f10\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03b7\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd)\nLit., what she had she did. Peculiar to Mark.\nShe is come aforehand to anoint (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03ad\u03bb\u03b1\u03b2\u03b5\u03bd \u03bc\u03c5\u03c1\u03af\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9)\nLit., she anticipated to anoint. Rev., hath anointed beforehand. The verb \u03bc\u03c5\u03c1\u03af\u03b6\u03c9 is found only here.\nMoney\nSee on Mat 26:15.\nHe sought (\u03b5\u03c5\u03b6\u03ae\u03c4\u03b5\u03b9)\nImperfect tense. He kept seeking: busied himself continuously from that time.\nConveniently (\u03b5\u1f50\u03ba\u03b1\u03af\u03c1\u03c9\u03c2)\nMight find a good opportunity (\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u03cc\u03c2).\nA man\nA slave probably, whose business it was to draw water. See Deu 19:11.\nPitcher\nOf earthenware: \u03ba\u03b5\u03c1\u03ac\u03bc\u03bf\u03b9\u03bd, from \u03ba\u03ad\u03c1\u03b1\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2, potter's clay.\nMy guest-chamber (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03bb\u03c5\u03bc\u03ac \u03bc\u03bf\u03c5)\nLuk 22:11. The word is not classical, and as used by an oriental signifies a khan or caravanserai. Hence inn at Luk 2:7. My chamber. It was a common practice that more than one company partook of the paschal supper in the same apartment; but Christ will have his chamber for himself and his disciples alone.\nAnd he (\u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u1f78\u03c2)\nThe Greek is more emphatic. \"He will himself show you.\" So Rev. Probably the owner of the house was a disciple.\nFurnished (\u1f10\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03c9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd)\nLit., strewed with carpets, and with couches properly spread.\nDish (\u03c4\u03c1\u03c5\u03b2\u03bb\u03af\u03bf\u03c5)\nSee on Mat 26:23.\nThe cup.\nThe wine was the ordinary one of the country, only red. It was mixed with water, generally in the proportion of one part to two of water.\nCovenant\nSee on Mat 26:28.\nIs shed (\u03c4\u1f78 \u1f10\u03ba\u03c7\u03c5\u03bd\u03bd\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd)\nLit., is being shed. This present participle is significant. To the Lord's mind the sacrifice is already being offered.\nNew\nSee on Mat 26:29.\nSung an hymn\nSee on Mat 26:30.\nGo before\nSee on Mat 26:32.\nCock crow\nSee on Mat 26:34. Mark alone adds twice.\nDeny (\u1f00\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u1fc3)\nThe compound verb signifies utterly deny.\nI will not deny (\u03bf\u1f50 \u03bc\u03ae \u03c3\u03b5 \u1f00\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u03b1\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9)\nThe double negative with the future forms the strongest possible assertion.\nGethsemane\nSee on Mat 26:36.\nTo be sore amazed (\u1f10\u03ba\u03b8\u03b1\u03bc\u03b2\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c3\u03b8\u03b1\u03b9)\nA word peculiar to Mark. Compare Mar 9:15; Mar 16:5, Mar 16:6.\nPrayed (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03b7\u03cd\u03c7\u03b5\u03c4\u03bf)\nImperfect tense: began to pray.\nHeavy (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b2\u03b1\u03c1\u03c5\u03bd\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9)\nLit., weighed down: very heavy.\nIt is enough (\u1f00\u03c0\u03ad\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9)\nPeculiar to Mark. In this impersonal sense the word occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. Expositors are utterly at sea as to its meaning.\nOne of the twelve\nSee on Mat 26:47; as also on multitude.\nToken (\u03c3\u03cd\u03c3\u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd)\nA later Greek compound used only by Mark in this passage. Compare \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bf\u03bd, Mat 26:48. The \u03c3\u03cd\u03bd, with, gives the force of a mutual token: a concerted signal.\nKissed\nSee on Mat 26:49.\nThe servant\nSee on Mat 26:51.\nEar (\u1f60\u03c4\u03ac\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd)\nA word found only here and at Joh 18:10. See on Mat 26:51.\nA thief\nRev., better, robber. See on Mat 26:55, and Mar 11:17.\nLinen cloth (\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd\u03b4\u03cc\u03bd\u03b1)\nThe probable derivation is from \u1f38\u03bd\u03b4\u03cc\u03c2, an Indian: India being the source from which came this fine fabric used for wrapping dead bodies, and in which Christ's body was enveloped. See Mat 27:59; Mar 15:46; Luk 23:53.\nPalace (\u03b1\u1f50\u03bb\u1f74\u03bd)\nRather, court, as Rev., the quadrangle round which the chambers were built. See on Mat 26:3.\nSat with (\u1f26\u03bd \u03c3\u03c5\u03b3\u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03ae\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2)\nThe verb with the participle denoting continuousness. What occurred after occurred while he was sitting. So Rev.\nServants\nRev., officers. See on Mat 5:25.\nAt the fire (\u03c0\u03c1\u1f78\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f78 \u03c6\u1ff6\u03c2)\n\u03a6\u1ff6\u03c2 is never used of the fire itself, but of the light of the fire; and this is the point to which the evangelist directs attention: that the firelight, shining on Peter's face, called forth the challenge of the maid (Mar 14:66).\nTheir witness agreed not\nPeculiar to Mark. Lit., their testimonies were not equal. Hence the difficulty of fulfilling the requirement of the law, which demanded two witnesses. See Deu 17:6; and compare Mat 18:16; Ti1 5:19; Heb 10:28.\nMade with hands\nMark adds this detail; also made without hands, and the following sentence.\nI am\nSee on Mat 26:64.\nGuilty of death\nSee on Mat 26:66.\nBuffet\nSee on Mat 26:67.\nPalms of their hands (\u1fe5\u03b1\u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd)\nAn unclassical word, but used also by John (Joh 19:3). The word means blows.\nDid strike\nFollowing the old reading, \u1f14\u03b2\u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd. The correct reading is \u1f14\u03bb\u03b1\u03b2\u03bf\u03bd, received. So Rev. Received him into custody.\nBeneath\nIn relation to the chambers round the court above.\nPorch (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03b1\u03cd\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd)\nOnly here in New Testament. The vestibule, extending from the outside gate to the court.\nCurse (\u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03b8\u03b5\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03b9\u03bd)\nCompare on Mat 26:74; where the word is \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b8\u03b5\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03b9\u03bd, to call down (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u1f70) curses on himself if he were not telling the truth. The words are synonymous.\nWhen he thought thereon (\u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b2\u03b1\u03bb\u1f7c\u03bd)\nFrom \u1f10\u03c0\u03af, upon, and \u03b2\u03ac\u03bb\u03bb\u03c9, to throw. When he threw his thought upon it.","title":"Vincent's Word Studies: Mark: Mark Chapter 14","type":"page"}
