Mark 10:33

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 10:32-45

Here is, I. Christ's prediction of his own sufferings; this string he harped much upon, though in the ears of his disciples it sounded very harsh and unpleasing. 1. See here how bold he was; when they were going up to Jerusalem, Jesus went before them, as the captain of our salvation, that was now to be made perfect through sufferings, Mark 10:32. Thus he showed himself forward to go on with his undertaking, even when he came to the hardest part of it. Now that the time was at hand, he said,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 10:32-34

10:32-34 They were on the road, on their way up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were in a state of astonished bewilderment, and, as they followed him, they were afraid. Once again he took the Twelve to him, and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. "Look you!" He said, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and experts in the law, and they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:33

Saying , behold we go up to Jerusalem ,.... They were now upon the road thither. And the son of man ; meaning himself, shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the Scribes ; by the determinate counsel, and foreknowledge of God, and by the means of a treacherous disciple of his, Judas. The Vulgate Latin version adds, "and to the elders"; but this is not in any of the copies, nor in other versions: and they shall condemn him to death ; as they did in the palace of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:32-34

The reiterated prediction. This was the third occasion upon which Jesus expressly and formally intimated to his followers the approaching close of his ministry and life. The occasion was the last great journey up to Jerusalem. He wished the disciples to understand what their discipleship involved, into what scenes they were now about to follow him; that, forewarned, they might be forearmed. Observe.— I. THE PREPARATION FOR THIS COMMUNICATION . Mark, in a few words,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:32-34

The coincidence of opposites. Once more the forecast of shame and death. I. MEN FLY IN THE FACE OF THEIR INTEREST , AND TREAT THEIR BENEFACTORS AS ENEMIES . Christ foresaw that the ruling party would be angry with him "because he told them the truth." And we partake of this guilt. We are blind to love in its disguise. We hate that which reproaches us. It is an error of the understanding and of the heart. II. PROVIDENCE BRINGS GOOD OUT OF OUR... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:32-34

Parallel passages: Matthew 20:17-19 ; Luke 18:31-34 .— A third prediction by our Lord of his passion and resurrection. I. REPEATED PREDICTIONS ON THESE SUBJECTS . The disciples required line upon line on this subject; they were so slow to grasp it and so loth to entertain it. It appeared to them inconceivable and incredible. When it was first directly and definitely announced, Peter deprecated it in the strongest terms, and so far forgot himself that he presumed to rebuke... read more

See the notes at Matthew 20:17-19.Mark 10:32Jesus went before him - In the manner of an intrepid, fearless leader and guide, exposing “himself” to danger and death rather than his followers.And they rather amazed ... - They were afraid that evil would befall him in the city; that the scribes and Pharisees, who had so often sought to kill him, would then do it. Their fear and amazement were increased when he told them what would befall him there. They were amazed that, when he knew so well what... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 10:32-34

Mark 10:32-34 . They were in the way to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed At his courage and intrepidity, considering the treatment which he had himself told them he should meet with there: and as they followed, they were afraid Both for him and themselves: nevertheless, he judged it best to prepare them, by telling them more particularly what was to ensue. The rulers at Jerusalem had issued out a proclamation against our Lord, immediately after the resurrection... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 10:32-45

112. The request of James and John (Matthew 20:17-28; Mark 10:32-45; Luke 18:31-34)As Jesus journeyed towards Jerusalem, he again spoke of his coming death and resurrection, but again his disciples misunderstood. They were still thinking mainly of an earthly kingdom of political power (Matthew 20:17-19; Mark 10:32-34).James and John therefore came to Jesus with a request that they might have the top positions in the kingdom (Matthew 20:20-21; Mark 10:35-37). Jesus, by using the words ‘cup’ and... read more
