Mark 10:45 NIV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:45

Even the Son of Man had to follow the rule that Jesus just explained. He is the great example of it. His incarnation was not that of a potentate whom others had to serve but that of a servant who met the needs of others.His service extended to giving His life as a ransom (Gr. lytron, cf. Matthew 20:28). In koine Greek (the common Greek of the New Testament world), this word often described the money paid to release slaves. In the New Testament, it has a narrower, more theological meaning,... read more

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

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
