mark-10:27

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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 10:23-27

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 10:24. See R.V. text and margin.Mark 10:25. It is easier for a camel.—This is (as Dr. J. Morison aptly remarks) a fine, bold, hieroglyphic, hyperbolical way of speaking, that need impose on no one with a spark of poetry in his soul. The key to its import is hung at the girdle of common sense. Southey caught its spirit:—“I would ride the camel,Yea, leap him flying, through the needle’s eye,As easily as such a pampered soulCould pass the narrow gate.”“The text,”... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 10:23-27

Mark 10:23-27 The Perils of Wealth. I. Note the hardness of Christian self-denial to the rich. Self-denial lies at the foundation of the Christian character. The influence of great possessions unfits men for any self-denial whatever. Few can resist the temptation of wealth to luxurious habits, modes of life that become more and more exacting. Pleasure is a tyrannous master; indolence is begotten of easy circumstances; reflection languishes while desire is nursed. It is so easy, too, to purchase... read more

Children Brought to Christ, and Not to the Font July 24th, 1864 by C. H. SPURGEON "And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 10:1-52

Mark's gospel chapter 10:And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he wont [was accustomed], he taught them again ( Mark 10:1 ).Now, Jesus is leaving the area of the Galilee for the last time. He is on His way to Jerusalem to be crucified. He knows this. He presently will be telling the disciples this. They still do not understand; it's still, to them, a mystery. But yet, it's very clear in the mind... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 10:1-52

Mark 10:2 . The pharisees came and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? This was a net artfully spread, to entangle the Saviour’s feet. Had he said no, they would have accused him of teaching doctrines contrary to the law of Moses. Had he said yea, they would then have charged him as guilty of cruelty. Thus, like Ezekiel, the Saviour exercised his ministry among scorpions. A woman repudiated for mere dislike, groans beneath a load of wrongs. She went to the altar in... read more

Mark 10:23-27How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Wealth a fearful snare to the soulThe Scriptures represent wealth, when used aright, as a distinguished blessing.It may, and ought to, lead men nearer to God, instead of driving them far from Him.I. The pride of life. The Scriptures speak of this as one of the most operative causes of human destruction. An inordinate and unreasonable self-esteem excludes God from the heart.II.

27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Ver. 27. With God all things are possible ] This place is much pleaded by the Papists for their fiction of transubstantiation. I tell thee (said Bonner to Philpot) that God, by his omnipotence; may make himself to be this carpet, if he will. (Acts and Mon.) read more
