The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:32-34

Parallel passages: Matthew 20:17-19 ; Luke 18:31-34 .— A third prediction by our Lord of his passion and resurrection. I. REPEATED PREDICTIONS ON THESE SUBJECTS . The disciples required line upon line on this subject; they were so slow to grasp it and so loth to entertain it. It appeared to them inconceivable and incredible. When it was first directly and definitely announced, Peter deprecated it in the strongest terms, and so far forgot himself that he presumed to rebuke... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 10:32-34

Mark 10:32-34 . They were in the way to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed At his courage and intrepidity, considering the treatment which he had himself told them he should meet with there: and as they followed, they were afraid Both for him and themselves: nevertheless, he judged it best to prepare them, by telling them more particularly what was to ensue. The rulers at Jerusalem had issued out a proclamation against our Lord, immediately after the resurrection... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 10:32-45

112. The request of James and John (Matthew 20:17-28; Mark 10:32-45; Luke 18:31-34)As Jesus journeyed towards Jerusalem, he again spoke of his coming death and resurrection, but again his disciples misunderstood. They were still thinking mainly of an earthly kingdom of political power (Matthew 20:17-19; Mark 10:32-34).James and John therefore came to Jesus with a request that they might have the top positions in the kingdom (Matthew 20:20-21; Mark 10:35-37). Jesus, by using the words ‘cup’ and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:32

And they were going on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid.THE PROPHECY OF JESUS' DEATH AND RESURRECTIONThere seems to be something very significant in the narrative at this point. Jesus' determination to go on to Jerusalem in the face of certain death and the reluctance and fear of those who followed are dramatically presented here by Mark. Turlington said, "They were frightened by the course of events, and... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 10:32

Mark 10:32. They were in the way going up, &c.— The rulers at Jerusalem had issued out a proclamation against our Lord, immediately after the resurrection of Lazarus, and probably promised a reward to any that would apprehend him, John 11:57. This seems to have been the reason why the disciples were amazed. The alacrity which their Master shewed in so dangerous an expedition, surprized them, and they were afraid, being struck with a fearful apprehension of the consequences while they... read more
