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's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:17-31

Jesus Pronounces on Riches and Entry Under the Kingly Rule of God (10:17-31). In this further example of His teaching Jesus’ authority again comes out. He is depicted as the One Who lays down the rules for entry into the Kingly Rule of God. And it also illustrates something else. He has just been speaking of how it is necessary to receive the Kingly Rule of God like a little child, and now here was an important and wealthy man (Mark 10:22) who wanted guidance, and Jesus makes the demand that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:31

“But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.” Finally Jesus ended by warning them against presumption, and no doubt Judas was especially in mind. Whether this means first in status and priority, or first in time, the same applies. It was possible to lose the benefit that was theirs. They could finish up last. Each must ensure his continuation in faithful service if he was to receive the prize (1 Corinthians 9:27). And it applied not only to them but to ‘many’. And in a sense the... read more

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

‘And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid.’ As they walked along the dusty road towards Jerusalem, something about Jesus’ new demeanour and His determination to press on urgently to Jerusalem amazed the disciples. Luke puts it, ‘when the days were well nigh come that He should be received up He steadfastly set His face to go towards Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). They sensed that something was about to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:32-34

‘And he took again the twelve and began to tell them the things that were to happen to him, saying, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and will deliver him to the Gentiles, and they will mock him, and will spit on him and will scourge him, and will kill him, and after three days he will rise again.” ’ We note that these words were specifically delivered to the twelve, possibly at a... read more

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's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:35

‘And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, “Teacher, we wish you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” ’ This was a normal type of approach when someone sought a favour. It was not considered polite to be too direct. read more

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:36

‘And he said to them, “What do you wish me to do for you?” ’ Jesus’ reply was equally polite. He accepted their approach and recognised that they were leading up to asking a favour. (There are several slight variations in text, but all with the same intent). read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:37

‘And they said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your glory.” ’ This request assumes a statement like Matthew 19:28 in order to get their minds thinking in this direction. The idea of suffering had passed them by, but the idea of glory appealed. If the twelve were to rule, and Peter had shown that he came short, they felt that they deserved the favoured places (John would, after all, have one at the Last Supper - John 13:23). We can see... read more
