Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:13-16

Jesus’ instruction about childlikeness 10:13-16 (cf. Matthew 19:13-15; Luke 18:15-17)The simple trust in Jesus that the children in this pericope demonstrated contrasts with the hostility of the Pharisees in the previous paragraph. Another thought connection is the progression from discussing marriage to discussing children. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 10:1-52

The Directing of the Early Mind Mark 10:13 I. 'That He should touch them' not simply 'that they should touch Him'. This latter was quite unnecessary. Touching is the metaphor for influence. There was no difficulty in the heart of Jesus being touched by the children; but it was extremely difficult to arrange that the heart of the children should be touched by Jesus. II. It is easy for the developed mind to understand the child the developed mind has itself been a child and retains a memoir of... read more

CHAPTER 10:13-16 (Mark 10:13-16)CHRIST AND LITTLE CHILDREN"And they brought unto Him little children, that He should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, He was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto Me; forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. And He took them up in His arms, and blessed... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 10:1-52

Ambition Rebuked [An Analysis] Mark 10:0 This passage, which will hardly ever be required for public use, suggests some points which ought not to be neglected by the preacher. (1) Jesus Christ taught. The word is very significant. Ignorance was never approved by the Saviour. He saved through light, never through darkness. He conducted specific intellectual processes, as well as processes distinctively moral. It was his delight to simplify truth. (2) Jesus Christ taught the people. Not a... read more
