Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Mark 12:38

_ _ Mark 12:38-40. The Scribes denounced.

_ _ And he said unto them in his doctrine — rather, “in His teaching”; implying that this was but a specimen of an extended discourse, which Matthew gives in full (Matthew 23:1-39). Luke says (Luke 20:45) this was “in the audience of all the people said unto His disciples.”

_ _ Beware of the scribes, which love — or like.

_ _ to go in long clothing — (see on Matthew 23:5).

_ _ and love salutations in the market-places,

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Mark 12:35-40.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Mark 12:38

Beware of the scribes — There was an absolute necessity for these repeated cautions. For, considering their inveterate prejudices against Christ, it could never be supposed the common people would receive the Gospel till these incorrigible blasphemers of it were brought to just disgrace. Yet he delayed speaking in this manner till a little before his passion, as knowing what effect it would quickly produce. Nor is this any precedent for us: we are not invested with the same authority. Matthew 23:5; Luke 20:46.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Mark 12:38

(6) And he said unto them in (g) his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in (h) long clothing, and [love] salutations in the marketplaces,

(6) The manners of ministers are not to be followed rashly as an example.

(g) While he taught them.

(h) The word is a "stole", which is a kind of woman's garment that goes down even to the heels, and is taken generally to refer to any pleasant looking garment, but in this place it seems to signify the fringed garment mentioned in (Deuteronomy 22:12).
