Marcos 10:28-45 RVA

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:32

And they were going on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid.THE PROPHECY OF JESUS' DEATH AND RESURRECTIONThere seems to be something very significant in the narrative at this point. Jesus' determination to go on to Jerusalem in the face of certain death and the reluctance and fear of those who followed are dramatically presented here by Mark. Turlington said, "They were frightened by the course of events, and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:35

And there came near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.THE REQUEST OF THE SONS OF ZEBEDEEMatthew, as frequently, gave a fuller account, relating the part that the mother of James and John had in this incident. This was not to "spare the Twelve" as the Markan theorists allege; for Matthew did not spare the Twelve at all, even relating the indignation of the group against "the brethren,"... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:36

And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand in thy glory.This was equivalent, in the eyes of James and John, to a request to be the chief administrators in the forthcoming kingdom of God, as if one would be the Secretary of State and the other the Secretary of the Treasury! Mark here represented the brothers as uttering the request themselves, which of course they did,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:38

But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?The "cup" and the "baptism" mentioned here are both references to the sufferings and tribulations through which our Lord was passing and which would culminate on the cross itself. "The `cup' is one Jesus is already drinking, and the `baptism' is one which is being experienced .... The `cup' will not be drained until he is taken from the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:39

And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized.James was to be the first martyr (Acts 12), and if the tradition that John was finally martyred is allowed, it would appear that a kind of mystical granting of their request was allowed, James being the first of the apostles to be martyred and John the last. It is more likely that Jesus merely meant that they, along with all of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:40

But to sit on my right hand or on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared.The Arian allegations founded on this verse should be rejected. We disagree with McMillan who interpreted this as saying that "they were asking him about something over which he had no control."[38] A glance at any rendition of the literal Greek shows that the limitation was not in Jesus, for it is implied that such honors, when given, would still be given by Jesus.The Greek has... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:41

And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.This unfriendly feeling of ten apostles toward James and John showed that the same virus which had infected the sons of Zebedee was also present in the others. Their indignation was clearly due to their fears that James and John might seize something which they also wanted. The Lord at once instructed them all concerning the true values to be received and honored in his kingdom. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:42

And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister, and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all.This amazing passage has the style of a Hebrew parallelism in which the same thought is repeated in different words; but it definitely goes beyond a mere... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:45

For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.Coming, as it does, at the climax of a series of statements leading up to it and actually demanding it, this verse is secure against all efforts to make a gloss out of it, malignant skepticism having assailed it repeatedly, its authenticity having "been denied on various grounds."[40] See Cranfield for a thorough and most convincing refutation of skeptical fulminations against this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 10:29

Mark 10:29. There is no man that hath left, &c.— 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, expresslyprohibited divorce on any account, except fornication. He is speaking of those, who, for his sake and the Gospel's, have renounced the pleasures and... read more
