What does Mark 14:30 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Mark 14:30
And Jesus saith unto him, verily I say unto
thee
As confident as thou art of standing by me, and abiding with me;
that this day,
which was then begun; for the Jews reckoned their days from
evening, as in ( Genesis 1:5 ) ;
even in this night;
this night to be observed, this night of the passover, before it
is past: before the cock crow twice;
for there was a first and second cock crowing, the one at
midnight, and the other near break of day, and which last is
properly the cock crowing: the word "twice" is left out in the
Ethiopic version: thou shalt deny me thrice; as he did; (See
Gill on Matthew
26:34).
