Mark 10:29-30

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:28-31

The hundredfold. I. IS CHRISTIAN SELF - SACRIFICE WORTH WHILE ? 1 . A question relocatedly asked , by worldlings and by Christians themselves: by the former because they do not comprehend or perceive the things of God, and by the latter from an imperfect experience and an imperfectly matured spiritual consciousness. 2 . Reasonably enough. The privation to which Christianity exposes men is sometimes extreme. They are called upon virtually or actually to renounce... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:28-31

Compensation. I. TO EXPECT COMPENSATION FOR WORTHY LOSS IS NATURAL AND RIGHT . The gospel encourages this. Compensation is founded on the law of things. God hath set the one over against the other. The conservation of energy is a law that applies to the life of the soul. "It will be made good to us." We cannot help feeling that the integrity of our being has a worth which must be preserved. II. CHRIST ENCOURAGES THIS EXPECTATION TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:29

St. Matthew ( Matthew 19:28 ) here introduces the great promise, to be fulfilled in the regeneration, that is, at the second coming of Christ—at the second birth of the world to a new and glorious state. It may be that St. Matthew was guided to record it, inasmuch as his Gospel was written for Jews. Its omission by St. Mark and St. Luke may be explained by the fact that they were writing, the one to Romans, and the other to Gentiles generally. Omitting further notice here of this great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:30

But he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time ( ἑκατονταπλασίονα ). St. Luke ( Luke 18:30 ) says ( πολλαπλασίονα ) "manifold more"—an indefinite increase, to show the greatness and multitude of the recompense. He who forsakes his own for the sake of Christ will find others, many in number, who will give him the love of brethren and sisters, with even greater affection; so that he will seem not to have lost or forsaken his own, but to have received them again with interest.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 10:17-31

See this passage illustrated in the notes at Matthew 19:16-30.Mark 10:17Gone forth - From the place where he had been teaching.Into the way - Into the road or path on his journey.Running - Thus showing the intensity with which he desired to know the way of life. Zeal to know the way to be saved is proper, nor is it possible that it should be too intense if well directed. Nothing else is so important, and nothing demands, therefore, so much effort and haste.Mark 10:19Defraud not - Do not take... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 10:28-31

Mark 10:28-31. Peter began to say, Lo, we have left all Though the young man would not. Jesus said, There is no man that hath left house, &c. This is explained Matthew 19:27-29. “Our Lord is not here speaking of such as have actually separated themselves from the persons, and parted with the possessions, here mentioned; for if that had been his meaning, he would not have said that wives and children were to be forsaken, having himself, on a former occasion, expressly prohibited... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 10:17-31

110. The rich young man (Matthew 19:16-30; Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30)A wealthy young man came to Jesus and asked what special deeds he should do to gain eternal life. Jesus responded that there was no need to ask him, because God had already told him in the Ten Commandments what he should do (Matthew 19:16-19). The man boasted that he had kept most of the commandments, but Jesus saw that at least he had failed in the last, which said ‘Do not covet’. While people around him were suffering... read more

Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel's sake, but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.This tremendous threefold promise of: (1) possessions and (2) family being multiplied a hundredfold in this present life, and (3) of... read more
