The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:28-31

Compensation. I. TO EXPECT COMPENSATION FOR WORTHY LOSS IS NATURAL AND RIGHT . The gospel encourages this. Compensation is founded on the law of things. God hath set the one over against the other. The conservation of energy is a law that applies to the life of the soul. "It will be made good to us." We cannot help feeling that the integrity of our being has a worth which must be preserved. II. CHRIST ENCOURAGES THIS EXPECTATION TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:30

But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time ( ἑκατονταπλασίονα ). St. Luke ( Luke 18:30 ) says ( πολλαπλασίονα ) "manifold more"—an indefinite increase, to show the greatness and multitude of the recompense. He who forsakes his own for the sake of Christ will find others, many in number, who will give him the love of brethren and sisters, with even greater affection; so that he will seem not to have lost or forsaken his own, but to have received them again with interest.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:31

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first . Most fitly does our Lord add this weighty sentence to what has just gone before. For thus he places himself, his grace, and his gospel in direct opposition to the corrupt teaching of the scribes and Pharisees. Perhaps the disciples thought within themselves, "How can it come to pass that we, the poor, the unlearned, the despised, are to sit upon thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel, amongst whom are men far our superiors in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 10:17-31

See this passage illustrated in the notes at Matthew 19:16-30.Mark 10:17Gone forth - From the place where he had been teaching.Into the way - Into the road or path on his journey.Running - Thus showing the intensity with which he desired to know the way of life. Zeal to know the way to be saved is proper, nor is it possible that it should be too intense if well directed. Nothing else is so important, and nothing demands, therefore, so much effort and haste.Mark 10:19Defraud not - Do not take... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 10:28-31

Mark 10:28-31. Peter began to say, Lo, we have left all Though the young man would not. Jesus said, There is no man that hath left house, &c. This is explained Matthew 19:27-29. “Our Lord is not here speaking of such as have actually separated themselves from the persons, and parted with the possessions, here mentioned; for if that had been his meaning, he would not have said that wives and children were to be forsaken, having himself, on a former occasion, expressly prohibited... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 10:17-31

110. The rich young man (Matthew 19:16-30; Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30)A wealthy young man came to Jesus and asked what special deeds he should do to gain eternal life. Jesus responded that there was no need to ask him, because God had already told him in the Ten Commandments what he should do (Matthew 19:16-19). The man boasted that he had kept most of the commandments, but Jesus saw that at least he had failed in the last, which said ‘Do not covet’. While people around him were suffering... read more

James Burton Coffman

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:31

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.This was addressed particularly, in this context, to Peter's question of "what shall we have?" What every man is to receive does not derive from his being first in the service of Jesus, but depends upon how faithfully he continues in the Lord's service. Judas was one of the first; and, among the apostles, Paul was the last; but in the events recorded in the New Testament, it turned out that Judas was last and Paul first. Matthew's... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:1-31

3. Lessons concerning self-sacrifice 10:1-31Jesus gave this series of lessons south of Galilee in Perea and Judea, not in Galilee. Another contrast is the audience. He gave the preceding instruction to the disciples in a house, but He gave this teaching to the multitudes and the disciples in the open air. read more
