The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:35-45

Parallel passage: Matthew 20:20-28 .— The ambition of the apostles: the sons of Zebedee. I. PROBABLE . ORIGIN . Peter and James and John certainly enjoyed a sort of precedence over the other apostles; they were primi inter pares at least, and constituted an inner circle among the members of the apostolic office. They were not only the first called to follow Christ, and to undertake special service in his cause; they had been privileged with his closest confidence; and they were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:38

It will be observed that in St. Matthew ( Luke 20:20 ). He while Salome is represented as the person who makes the request, the answer is given, not to her, but to her sons. Ye know not what ye ask . Our Lord knew that the sons had spoken in the mother and by the mother. They knew not what they asked Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? It is as though he said, "It is by my cross and passion that I am to attain to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:39

James and John seem to have understood the meaning of the cup; and perhaps also of the baptism. They both of them drank the cup, though in different ways. St. James, preaching Christ more boldly and fervently, became an early martyr, having been slain by the sword of Herod ( Acts 12:2 ). St. John also drank of this cup, and was baptized with this baptism, when, if we may trust the authority of Tertullian ('De Praescript.' c. 36.). He he was cast by order of Domitian into a caldron of boiling... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 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 Arians gathered from this that our Lord was not of one substance with the Father. But this arose from a misunderstanding of the words. For the antithesis is not here between Christ and the Father; but between James and John on the one side ambitiously seeking the pre-eminence, and those on the ether side to whom it ought of right to be given. St. Jerome wisely says,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:41

And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John. How did they hear it? It is most likely that Salome and her two sons sought this favor secretly from Christ, lest they should excite the envy of the ethers. But they, the ten, must have noticed the approach of James and John with their mother to our Lord. They came in a formal manner, worshipping him first, and then making their request (see Matthew 20:20 ). The ten would naturally be desirous... read more

Mark 10:35-40. And James and John come to him, saying By their mother, (see Matthew 20:20,) for it was she, not they, that uttered the words: Master, we would that thou shouldest do, &c. Here, again, the disciples show their utter ignorance of the prophecies, and of their Master’s kingdom, by an action which likewise discovered, in the clearest manner, the temper of mind they were in, and the motives from which they followed Christ. They seem to have fancied that by his resurrection,... read more

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
