mark-10:52

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 10:1-52

Ambition Rebuked [An Analysis] Mark 10:0 This passage, which will hardly ever be required for public use, suggests some points which ought not to be neglected by the preacher. (1) Jesus Christ taught. The word is very significant. Ignorance was never approved by the Saviour. He saved through light, never through darkness. He conducted specific intellectual processes, as well as processes distinctively moral. It was his delight to simplify truth. (2) Jesus Christ taught the people. Not a... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

(46) And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. (47) And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. (48) And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. (49) And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 10:52

REFLECTIONS. Blessed Bridegroom of thy Church! how sweetly hast thou answered all the cavils of the Pharisees, and silenced all the fears of thy people, in teaching thy Church in the opening of this Chapter, that JESUS not put away his wife, notwithstanding all her shameful departures. Oh! for grace to cry out with the spouse, my beloved is mine, and I am his! Praises to the condescending grace of the SON of GOD, who receiveth now, as he received then, in the days of his flesh, little... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:46-52

46-52 Bartimeus had heard of Jesus and his miracles, and learning that he was passing by, hoped to recover his eyesight. In coming to Christ for help and healing, we should look to him as the promised Messiah. The gracious calls Christ gives us to come to him, encourage our hope, that if we come to him we shall have what we come for. Those who would come to Jesus, must cast away the garment of their own sufficiency, must free themselves from every weight, and the sin that, like long garments,... read more

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 10:49-52

The healing: v. 49. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; He calleth thee. v. 50. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. v. 51. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto Him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. v. 52. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received... read more

2. The Passing through Jericho. Mark 10:46-52(Parallels: Matthew 20:29-34; Luke 18:35-43; Luke 19:1-28.)46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great number of people, blind Bartimeus, the20 son of Timeus, sat by the highway-side begging. 47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,21 he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 48And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great... read more

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

A PARABLE OF LIFE‘Blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging.… And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.’ Mark 10:46-1 Thessalonians : We may take the story of the blind man of Jericho as a parable of our life. I. A beggar.—He sat by the wayside begging. So do we. We are by the wayside of life, begging. We are all beggars to God. II. Blind.—So are we, morally. Here is a man who is selfish, utterly given up to following his own way; he will... read more
