Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:6-8

Jesus contrasted the Pharisee’s view of marriage with God’s view of it. God instituted marriage. It involves the union of a male and a female that results in a uniquely close relationship, a "one flesh" relationship. "One flesh" is a Semitic expression that means "one." [Note: Wessel, p. 711.] This relationship is closer than even the parent child relationship. Furthermore it continues throughout the rest of the husband and wife’s lives."The import of all this is that marriage from its very... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:1-52

The Question of Divorce. The Rich Young Man. Blind Bartimæus1-12. The question of divorce (Matthew 19:3). See on that passage, and on Matthew 5:32. St. Mark represents our Lord as prohibiting divorce absolutely, without mentioning any exception.1. See on Matthew 19:1: cp. Luke 17:11.13-16. The blessing of little children (Matthew 19:13; Luke 18:15). See on Mt.17-22. The rich young man (Matthew 19:16; Luke 18:8). See on Mt.17.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 10:2-12

(2-12) And the Pharisees came to him.—See Notes on Matthew 19:3-12. We are not surprised to find St. Mark omitting the “hard saying” about the eunuchs of Matthew 19:12. It was hardly likely, even if he knew it, to commend itself to him as adapted for the Gentile readers for whom he wrote his Gospel. Probably, however, for the reason thus given, it was not part of the current teaching of the Church, and was recorded by St. Matthew as something exceptional. 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

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
