Bible Comments

MARK CHAPTER 10 Mark 10:1 Christ teacheth in Judea, Mark 10:2-12 answereth the Pharisees question concerning divorce, Mark 10:13-16 blesseth the children that were brought unto him, Mark 10:17-22 instructs a rich man how to attain eternal life, Mark 10:23-27 showeth how hard it is for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God, Mark 10:28-31 promises rewards to all who have forsaken aught for his gospel's sake, Mark 10:32-34 foretells of his own death and resurrection, Mark 10:35-45 puts by the ambitious suit of the sons of Zebedee, and checks the indignation of the other disciples thereat, Mark 10:46-52 giveth sight to blind Bartimaeus. We have nothing in this whole chapter but what we found before in Matthew 19:1-20:34. When Christ had the discourses mentioned in the former chapter, he was in Galilee; now he departeth from Galilee, passes through Samaria, and comes into the province of Judea, which being the chiefest, and that in which Jerusalem was, he was there more than before troubled with the scribes and Pharisees; who were now watching him in all his words and actions, that they might have somewhat whereof to accuse him.

Mark 10:1

1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
