Definitions for Mark 14:72
Clarke's Mark 14:72 Bible Commentary
And when he thought thereon, he wept - Or, he fell a weeping. This Mr. Wakefield thinks comes nearest to the original, επιβαλων εκλαιε. Others think it means the wrapping of his head in the skirts of his garment, through shame and anguish. Others think that επιβαλων rather refers to the violence, or hurry, with which he left the place, being impelled thereto by the terrors and remorse of his guilty conscience. Our own translation is as good as any.
Wesley's Mark 14:72 Bible Commentary
14:72 And he covered his head - Which was a usual custom with mourners, and was fitly expressive both of grief and shame.
