F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 10:1-99

Mark 10 THE OPENING of this chapter brings us near to the closing scenes of the Lord’s life. He was on the farther side of Jordan but near the borders of Judaea, and the Pharisees appeared, opposing Him by tempting Him. By raising questions as to marriage and divorce, they expected to entangle Him in some contradiction of the things that Moses had commanded, and so find a point of attack. The Lord did not contradict Moses, but He went behind him to God’s original thought in the creation of man... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 10:41-45

Another lesson in humility: v. 41. And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. v. 42. But Jesus called them to Him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. v. 43. But so shall it not be among you; but whosoever will be great among you shall be your minister; v. 44. and whosoever of you will be the chiefest shall be servant of... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 10:35-45

Mark DIGNITY AND SERVICE Mar_10:35 - Mar_10:45 . How lonely Jesus was! While He strode before the Twelve, absorbed in thoughts of the Cross to which He was pressing, they, as they followed, ‘amazed’ and ‘afraid,’ were thinking not of what He would suffer, but of what they might gain. He saw the Cross. They understood little of it, but supposed that somehow it would bring in the kingdom, and they dimly saw thrones for themselves. Hence James and John try to secure the foremost places, and... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 10:23-52

True Riches and Real Greatness Mark 10:23-52 Wealth brings many temptations. It is not said that rich men cannot get through the gate, but they will have to stoop very low and be stripped of the love of wealth, though not necessarily of wealth itself. In Christ’s kingdom to give all is to get all. The surrendered life needs no pity, for what it loses on the material side is more than compensated by its enormous spiritual gains, Mark 10:30-31 . Perhaps the request of the two brethren was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 10:1-52

The Pharisees raised a question concerning the marriage relation. The Master went to the root of all things in the words, "From the beginning of the creation." The supreme and final authority is not the permission of a human lawgiver, but the will and intention of God. It was in this connection that Jesus took the children in His arms and blessed them, laying His hands on them. The story of the rich young ruler reveals the need of control. The way to find it is to follow the Master. The... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:1-45

Jesus Reveals The Things That Are Pleasing and Displeasing to God (9:33-10:45). In this next subsection Jesus reveals the things that are pleasing and displeasing to God. Seeking greatness displeases Him (Mark 9:33-35; Mark 10:35-45), while seeking to do things for Jesus’ sake pleases Him (Mark 9:36-41; Mark 10:28-31). Causing those who believe in Him to sin displeases Him (Mark 9:42-49; Mark 10:1-12), while being true salt pleases Him (Mark 9:50). So having begun the process of changing His... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:1-52

Jesus Begins His Final Journey to Jerusalem On The Road To The Cross and Spends Much Time in Teaching His Disciples And Disputing With His Enemies In Readiness For That Event, For He Is Giving His Life As A Ransom For Many (9:33-12:44). Having returned to Capernaum Jesus now has His face set towards Jerusalem, and in Mark 9:33-50 He will lay the foundation by pointing out the fact that all must look to and respond to His Name, and the dangers inherent in not doing so. Then He will advance into... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:32-45

Jesus Presses on Towards Jerusalem Where He Will Give His Life As A Ransom For Many (10:32-45). It is only at this point that Mark draws our attention to the fact that Jesus has begun His final journey to Jerusalem, and having done so he will immediately hurry on to the final days. This contrasts with Luke who emphasised that Jesus’ face was set for Jerusalem seemingly long before He actually reached it (Luke 9:51). But the timing is in fact actually similar. It is only that Luke then includes... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:35-45

James and John Seek the Highest Place (10:35-45). The words of Jesus found in Matthew 19:28, not recorded by Mark, had struck home. They appealed more to the thinking of the disciples than the talk of death. And James and John, as part of the Inner Three, egged on by their mother (Matthew 20:20), came with her to Jesus to seek to supplant Peter. Possibly they felt that Peter, having been addressed by Jesus as ‘Satan’ (Mark 8:33), was at present vulnerable as leader of the group. And besides... read more
