Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Matthew Luke
Mark 10
Verse 1. He cometh thence - From Galilee. Matt. xix, 1.
Verse
2. Matt. v, 31; Matt. xix, 7; Luke xvi, 18.
Verse
4. Deut. xxiv, 1.
Verse
6. From the beginning of the creation - Therefore Moses in the
first of Genesis gives us an account of things from the beginning
of the creation. Does it not clearly follow, that there was no
creation previous to that which Moses describes? God made them
male and female - Therefore Adam did not at first contain both
sexes in himself: but God made Adam, when first created, male
only; and Eve female only. And this man and woman he joined
together, in a state of innocence, as husband and wife.
Verse
7. Gen. ii, 24.
Verses
11, 12. All polygamy is here totally condemned.
Verse
13. Matt. xix, 13.
Verse
14. Jesus seeing it was much displeased - At their blaming those
who were not blame worthy: and endeavouring to hinder the
children from receiving a blessing. Of such is the kingdom of God
- The members of the kingdom which I am come to set up in the
world are such as these, as well as grown persons, of a child-like
temper.
Verse
15. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child - As totally disclaiming all worthiness and fitness, as if he
were but a week old.
Verse
17. Matt. xix, 16; Luke xviii, 18.
Verse
20. He answering, said to him, Master - He stands reproved now,
and drops the epithet good.
Verse
21. Jesus looking upon him - And looking into his heart, loved
him - Doubtless for the dawnings of good which he saw in him:
and said to him - Out of tender love, One thing thou lackest - The
love of God, without which all religion is a dead carcass. In order
to this, throw away what is to thee the grand hindrance of it. Give
up thy great idol, riches. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast.
Verse
24. Jesus saith to them, Children - See how he softens the harsh
truth, by the manner of delivering it! And yet without retracting or
abating one tittle: How hard is it for them that trust in riches -
Either for defense, or happiness, or deliverance from the thousand
dangers that life is continually exposed to. That these cannot enter
into God's glorious kingdom, is clear and undeniable: but it is
easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man to
have riches, and not trust in them. Therefore, it is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to
enter the kingdom.
Verse
28. Lo, we have left all - Though the young man would not.
Verse
30. He shall receive a hundred fold, houses, &c. - Not in the same
kind: for it will generally be with persecutions: but in value: a
hundred fold more happiness than any or all of these did or could
afford. But let it be observed, none is entitled to this happiness,
but he that will accept it with persecutions.
Verse
32. They were in the way to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before
them: and they were amazed - At his courage and intrepidity,
considering the treatment which he had himself told them he
should meet with there: and as they followed, they were afraid -
Both for him and themselves: nevertheless he judged it best to
prepare them, by telling them more particularly what was to
ensue. Matt. xx, 17; Luke xviii, 31.
Verse
35. Saying - By their mother. It was she, not they that uttered the
words. Matt. xx, 20.
Verse
38. Ye know not what ye ask - Ye know not that ye ask for
sufferings, which must needs pave the way to glory. The cup - Of
inward; the baptism - Of outward sufferings. Our Lord was filled
with sufferings within, and covered with them without.
Verse
40. Save to them for whom it is prepared - Them who by patient
continuance in well doing, seek for glory, and honour, and
immortality. For these only eternal life is prepared. To these, only
he will give it in that day; and to every man his own reward,
according to his own labour.
Verse
45. A ransom for many - Even for as many souls as needed such a
ransom, 2 Cor. v, 15.
Verse
46. Matt. xx, 29; Luke xviii, 35.
Verse
50. Casting away his garment - Through joy and eagerness.
