Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:13

And they were bringing 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 to such belongeth the kingdom of God.JESUS BLESSES THE LITTLE CHILDRENEvidently, the disciples thought that Jesus would not have the time to bless little children, and their efforts would appear to have been due to misguided efforts to protect Jesus... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:15

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 in his arms, and blessed them, and laid his hands upon them.As a little child ... How does one receive the kingdom of God as a little child? Clearly, the reference is to well-behaved, normal, loving children; and the qualities in view are: trustfulness, humility, obedience, spontaneity, forgetfulness of injury, slight, or hurt, and a total lack of... read more

Mark 10:15. Whosoever shall not, &c.— "As to adult persons, I assuredly tell you, who, by your behaviour on this occasion, plainly need the admonition, whoever he be, that does not embrace the Gospel of the kingdom with humility and meekness, free from hypocrisy, wrath and malice, pride and ambition, in resemblance of the temper of a little child, shall never be a partaker of its great and glorious blessings." read more

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:13-14

Mark’s account of this incident is very similar to Matthew’s. However, Mark alone noted that Jesus became indignant when He learned that the disciples were discouraging those who were bringing the children (Gr. paidia) to Him. This is another indication of the evangelist’s interest in Jesus’ humanity (cf. Mark 1:25; Mark 1:41; Mark 1:43; Mark 3:5; Mark 7:34; Mark 8:12; Mark 9:19). Jesus had formerly commanded His disciples not to forbid the exorcist who cast out demons in Jesus’ name (Mark... read more

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
