Mar 8:31-33 | Clarke

Mark 8:31-33

Verse 32

And he spake that saying - Concerning the certainty and necessity of his sufferings - openly: with great plainness, παρῥησια, confidence, or emphasis, so that the disciples now began fully to understand him. This is an additional observation of St. Mark. For Peter's reproof, see on Mat 16:22 (note), etc.
