Mark 10:13-31

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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 10:17-31

I. Here is a hopeful meeting between Christ and a young man; such he is said to be (Matt. 19:20, 22), and a ruler (Luke 18:18), a person of quality. Some circumstances here are, which we had not in Matthew, which makes his address to Christ very promising. 1. He came running to Christ, which was an indication of his humility; he laid aside the gravity and grandeur of a ruler, when he came to Christ: thus too he manifested his earnestness and importunity; he ran as one in haste, and longing to... 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

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 10:17-22

10:17-22 As Jesus was going along the road, a man came running to him and threw himself at his feet and asked him, "Good teacher, what am I to do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? There is no one who is good, except one--God. You know the commandments. You must not kin, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not bear false witness, you must not defraud anyone, you must honour your father and mother." He said to him, "Teacher, I have... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 10:23-27

10:23-27 Jesus looked round and said to his disciples, "With what difficulty will those who have money enter into the Kingdom of God!" His disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus repeated, "Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." They were exceedingly astonished. "Who then," they said to him, "can be saved?" Jesus looked at them... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 10:28-31

10:28-31 Peter began to say to him, "Look now! We have left everything and have become your followers." Jesus said, "This is the truth I tell you--there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the good news who will not get it back a hundred times over in this present time--homes and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands--with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life. But many who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:13

And they brought young children to him ,.... The parents, or friends, or nurses of the children in those parts, having heard of the fame of Jesus; and having entertained an high opinion of him, as a great prophet, and a holy, good man, brought their children in their arms, or hands, that he should touch them ; as he did when he healed diseased persons, as these might be, though not expressed: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them ; See Gill on Matthew 19:13 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:14

But when Jesus saw it ,.... Observed that his disciples reproved those that brought their children to, him, he was much displeased ; with his disciples, who took too much upon them; for they ought first, to have known their master's will; whether it was his pleasure to grant the favour desired for these children, and not to have forbid them of themselves: and said unto them ; the disciples, as the Persic version reads: suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:15

Verily I say, unto you ,.... A form of speech used when our Lord was about to asseverate a thing, and assert something of moment and importance, and which he would have attended to. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God ; the Gospel, and the mysteries of it: as a little child ; laying aside all pride and prejudice, attending thereunto with humility and meekness: he shall not enter therein ; he shall attain to no true spiritual knowledge of the Gospel; nor should he be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:16

And he took them up in his arms ,.... "Upon his arms", the Syriac version says; "he put them into his bosom", according to the Ethiopic; and the Persic renders it, "he took them into his bosom": all which expresses great tenderness towards them, and affection for them: put his hands upon them, and blessed them . The Ethiopic version transposes these clauses, and puts blessing first, contrary to the natural order of the words, and things; for he first put his hands on the children,... read more
