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

Mark 10:17-Obadiah : . The Great Refusal, and the Obstacle of Riches.— The contrast between this incident and that which precedes it is caught by Shakespeare, Richard II, V. Mark 10:10 f. That Mk. designed the contrast is improbable. The incident in Mark 10:17-Song of Solomon : is clearly historic. The unwillingness of Jesus to be addressed as “ good,” His referring the seeker after eternal life back to the commandments, and the keen personal interest which the questioner aroused in Jesus... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:32-34

Mark 10:32-Nahum : . Jesus Leads the Way to Jerusalem.— This paragraph might be regarded as introducing the last section of the gospel, the story of the Passion. The goal of the journey is now disclosed, and there is to be no more delay. The disciples follow in amazement ( cf. Mark 9:15) and in fear. Did they entertain dim forebodings of death ( cf. John 11:16), or were they simply overawed by the strange resolution of their Master? The third and most detailed prediction of the end is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:35-45

Mark 10:35-Romans : . The Request of the Sons of Zebedee. The Christian Standard of Greatness.— In spite of anticipation of ill, the disciples continued to hope for a kingdom of worldly power, and to dispute as to their places in such a kingdom. Wellhausen claims that the reference to glory in Mark 10:37 is apocalyptic in character, and that the disciples may have been expecting a brief period of trial before the final splendour. If so, they have some dim idea that the cup and the baptism... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 10:28-31

See Poole on "Matthew 19:27", and following verses to Matthew 19:30. Our Saviour having blessed the poor, especially such as had stripped themselves of all for his sake and the gospel’s, Peter raised up hopes to himself, who had no riches to trust in or have his heart cleave unto, and had stripped himself of all that little he had to follow Christ. Christ assures him that neither he, nor any other that had done so, should by it lose any thing; for though in this life they should have... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 10:32-34

See Poole on "Matthew 20:17", and following verses to Matthew 20:19. This is at least the third time that our Saviour instructs his disciples as to his passion, toward which he was now going, and that with such a readiness, that, to the amazement of his disciples, he led the way, and outwent them. It is observable that Christ here describeth his sufferings more particularly than before. He tells them here that he should be first delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they should... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 10:35-41

See Poole on "Matthew 20:20", and following verses to Matthew 20:24, where we have the same history with little or no variation, only Matthew tells us that James and John did that by their mother which Mark reports as done by them in person; but there is nothing more ordinary even in our common discourse than to speak of that as done by ourselves, which is done by another on our behalf, at our command or solicitation. Both the evangelists agree in all the other parts of their relation, and in... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 10:32-34

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Mark 10:32-34(PARALLELS: Matthew 20:17-19; Luke 18:31-34; John 11:53-57.)On the way to Jerusalem.—Every act of Christ relates not only to those disciples who were the immediate witnesses of it, and to events which then and there transpired, but also to His whole Church through all future ages, and to events bearing upon the interests of that Church, till her probation on earth is finished, her numbers are made up, and she stands complete in Him before the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 10:34-45

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 10:40. See R.V. for last clause, which, however, may also be rendered same to them for whom it is prepared (made ready). “The throne is the prize of toils, not a grace granted to ambition,”Mark 10:45. “The human blood of the Eternal Son was the ransom paid to God for our eternal redemption from the curse of the law and from the wrath of God, and from the claims of Satan and from the power of sin.” This “one offering, single and complete,” when put in the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 10:31

Mark 10:31 The Great Refusal. I. The gracious Lord loved the young man, but was not met with trustful, entire response. Why did He love him? Because He saw him as he was pure, enthusiastic, unspoiled, though unproved. It is a false and forlorn view to take of man, that there is nothing beautiful in him before he becomes saintly. The very attractiveness of an unredeemed soul makes us the more keenly desirous to redeem it. God may love a man whom He cannot yet trust; He may love a man who does... read more
