Mark 10:1-16 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 10:1-12

Our Lord Jesus was an itinerant Preacher, did not continue long in a place, for the whole land of Canaan was his parish, or diocese, and therefore he would visit every part of it, and give instructions to those in the remotest corners of it. Here we have him in the coasts of Judea, by the further side of Jordan eastward, as we found him, not long since, in the utmost borders westward, near Tyre and Sidon. Thus was his circuit like that of the sun, from whose light and heat nothing is hid. Now... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 10:13-16

It is looked upon as the indication of a kind and tender disposition to take notice of little children, and this was remarkable in our Lord Jesus, which is an encouragement not only to little children to apply themselves to Christ when they are very young, but to grown people, who are conscious to themselves of weakness and childishness, and of being, through manifold infirmities, helpless and useless, like little children. Here we have, I. Little children brought to Christ, Mark 10:13. Their... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 10:1-12

10:1-12 Leaving there, Jesus came into the hill-country of Judaea and to the district across the Jordan, and once again crowds came together to him. As his custom was, he again continued to teach them. Some Pharisees came to him and asked him if it was lawful for a man to put away his wife. They asked this question to test him. He asked them, "What commandment did Moses lay down for you?" They answered, "Moses allowed a man to write a bill of divorcement and then to put her away." Jesus said... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 10:13-16

10:13-16 They brought little children to Jesus that he might touch them. But the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw what they were doing he was vexed and said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and don't try to stop them for of such is the Kingdom of God. This is the truth I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child will not enter into it." And he took them up in the crook of his arm and blessed them and laid his hands upon them. It was natural... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:1

And he arose from thence ,.... From Galilee, and particularly from Capernaum: and cometh into the coasts of Judea ; into those places, which bordered on that part of the land of Israel, called Judea, as distinct from Galilee: by , or rather "to" the further side of Jordan ; which he crossed at the bridge of Chammath: the particular place he came to was Bethabara; see John 10:40 , where John formerly preached, and baptized: and the people resorted unto him again ; great... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:2

And the: Pharisees came unto him ,.... As they every where did; not to be instructed by him, but to ensnare him; and asked him, is it lawful for a man to put away his wife ? that is, as Matthew adds, "for every cause"; see Gill on Matthew 19:3 , for, a divorce might be lawfully made for a cause, or reason, namely, adultery, but not for any, or every cause; which is the sense of this question of the Pharisees; and, which they put, not for information, but tempting him ; trying to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:3

And he answered and said unto them ,.... Very prudently and wisely, what did Moses command you ? according to Matthew, he put another question to them; see Matthew 19:4 ; no doubt but both were put, and this after they had urged the authority and law of Moses: and therefore be very pertinently asks them, what Moses had said about divorces, what law he had left; and puts them upon producing and repeating it, that the sense of it might be examined, and it be considered, upon what account... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:4

And they said ,.... By way of reply, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away , Moses did not command them to divorce their wives, only suffered them to do so: and gave orders that if they could not bear that they should live with them, but would divorce them, that they should give them a bill, which should certify, they were so divorced, and then send them out of their houses, free to marry other men; this law, or permission, is in Deuteronomy 24:1 , of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:5

And Jesus answered and said unto them ,.... With respect to this command, or sufferance of Moses, which they urged: for the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept ; it was, not because it was right in its own nature, or according to the original will of God; but, because the Jews were such cruel, and hard hearted men, that if this had not been permitted, some of them, that had wives not so agreeable to them, would have used them in a very inhuman manner, if not murdered them;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:6

But from the beginning of the creation ,.... Of the world, or of man: מתחלת ברייתו של עולם , "from the beginning of the creation of the world", is a way of speaking often used by the Jews F18 Bereshit Rabba, sect. 3. fol. 2. 3. & sect. 4. fol. 4. 1. : the phrase "of the creation" is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions; and so it was in Beza's most ancient copy, and it is only read, "from the beginning", as in Mat_19:4,8; see Gill on Matthew 19:4 , See Gill on ... read more
