Commentary

Commentary on Mark 8:38

Theological / Devotional

Ashamed. See on Matt. 10:32; cf. Rom. 1:16.

Adulterous and sinful generation. See on Matt. 11:16 ; 12:39. Another detail of this occasion recorded only by Mark (see on v. 35).

The glory. A clear reference to the second advent of Christ (see on Matt. 25:31), of which event the Transfiguration, which follows next in the record, was a miniature demonstration (see on Matt. 16:28).
