Mark 10

The earliest written gospel material was anonymous but attributed to a man named Mark.

Comments
V1 Jesus went to where the people resort^[1] which is were coming together to assemble and be taught.
V2 The Pharisees questioned^[2] Jesus as they had asked the other people in Mark 9:16. They did this to test^[3] Jesus and seemed to want to know if something was lawful^[4] which not about the legal system but the Natural law which comes from the I am. The translation seems to be talking about if a "man to put away^[5] his wife".
V3 To answered Jesus asks, What did Moses command you? The word command is entellomai^[6] which is to say "to order, command to be done, enjoin" the people today.
V4 The claim that Moses suffered or permitted^[7] the man to write a bill of divorcement^[8]. What was that bill <05612> of divorcement <03748>? And then there is the phrase "to put her away" is from the word apoluo meaning "set free".^[5]
V5 Jesus makes it clear that Moses only allowed this form of divorce because of the "hardness"^[9] of their hearts. It is not what God wanted. Moses even says he "may not take her again to be his wife".^[10]
V6-12 Explain in more detail the nature of Holy Matrimony and the permanency of marriage.
V13-16 After this discussion and teaching about marriage and family a small child is brought to Jesus and he emphasizes the importance children and the nature of children in the kingdom of God.
V17-23 A rich man runs to Jesus, kneels before him and calls him, Good Master". He wants to know what to do to inherit eternal life? What does eternal life actually mean? There is a great deal of ideologies and doctrines of men about this idea of eternal life. The question specifically is how do we inherit it. The kingdom of God, which we should be seeking, is for the living and there are those who have not inherit the Kingdom of God
Fruit of the kingdom of God is eternal life which only comes with repentance from the Corban of Herod and the Pharisees and the seeking of the Corban of Christ in his kingdom. There was no fruit coming from the sacrifice of the pharisees because it was no longer a freewill offering. Like their tables the tree of their temporal system of social welfare through legal charity was rooted^[11] in the welfare state of Herod and the pharisees which was a [[covetous practice was not bearing fruit. The lack of fruit is cause that the kingdom and its promise of eternal life would be lost to them because in their heart and mind there was no room for repentance.^[12]
V24 The phrase "for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! The word here for riches is chrema^[13] and not the normal word for riches which is plousios.^[14] And the word we see as trust is peitho^[15] which means persuade to the point they trust and have confidence which takes us back to why did he use the word chrema instead of plousios? The noun chrema is part of the verb chrematizo^[16] which is defined "to transact business, esp. to manage public affairs; to advise or consult with one about public affairs". We do not know who this person was but some speculate that it was Lazarus, the son of Simon the Pharisee. We know that he also loved this man and Lazarus.^[17] We know that both men were rich and had a rich and probably influential father. The rich Lazarus dies in John 11 and is raised from the dead after death but there is another Lazarus mentioned in a parable which we see in Luke 16. This Lazarus also dies but is comforted while an unnamed rich man(plousios anthropos) suffers without relief after he dies. These three stories, in my mind, are related just as the use of the words chremaand the verb chrematizo^[16] are important.
The verb chrematizo appears 9 times^[18]
V27 Then we come to the question Who then can be saved? John 6:54 "Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." This is eating his flesh, and drinking his blood is about the Corban of Christ and his Eucharist policy. That policy and doctrine of Jesus was and is contrary to the Corban of Herod and the Pharisees which included covetous practices and Benefactors who exercise authority. Those benefactors were the fathers of the earth which Jesus as the Christ warned us about. In the Old Testament we see the welfare that was a snare and the policies of one purse, dainties of the rulers. Those systems were the Cities of blood which brought the bondage of Egypt and not unlike those of Nimrod and the present Mystery Babylon that the masses kick against. Understanding what it means to Bite one another and the two tables of social welfare and many more of the words of the holy scriptures.
The kingdom of God is here in spirit and truth. With the use of the Greek noun politeuma^[19] in Philippians Paul is literally saying that our "administration of civil affairs", our citizenship is not of the "world" of Rome but is in the kingdom of heaven^[20] which was appointed^[21] by Jesus the Christ who was another king^[22] of those who would repent, seek the kingdom of God and the righteousness of God.
The the Greek verb politeuomai,^[23] meaning to be a citizen or "to administer civil affairs, manage the state" and is also from the Greek word polites meaning citizen^[24] means "to be a citizen" and "to administer civil affairs" as is the duty of every citizen or the ministers of a government. In Philippians 1:27the words "Only let your conversation be"^[25] Paul is telling us “to behave only as a citizen” worthy of the Gospel of Christ which is the Gospel of the kingdom of God which Matthew will some times use a word translated "heaven"^[26] to describe. We see the same word translated conversation in Philippians translated have lived in Acts 23:1 "And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men [and] brethren, I have lived <4176>^[23] in all good conscience before God until this day." This statement was so offensive that Ananias the high priest commanded Paul to be smitten contrary to the law.^[27] This ardor of hate attack was not just because he said I lived in good conscience but he said to the council^[28] I have lived in good conscience as a citizen, basically attending to the civil affairs of the polis or government.

Questions

He taught the people

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

Put away a wife

[2] And the Pharisees came to him, and asked^[2] him, Is it lawful^[4] for a man to put away^[5] his wife? tempting him.

[3] And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

Bill of divorcement

[4] And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement^[8], and to put her away.

Hard hearts

[5] And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness^[9] of your heart he wrote you this precept.

For this cause

[6] But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

[7] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

[8] And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

[9] What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.^[29]

The disciples asked again

[10] And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

[11] And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

[12] And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Young Child

[13] And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

[14] 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.

[15] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

[16] And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

Inherit life

[17] And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

[18] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

[19] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.^[30]

[20] And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

Jesus loved him

[21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

[22] And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

[23] And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

Trust in riches

[24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

[25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.^[31]

Who can be saved

[26] And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

[27] And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

[28] Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

[29] And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

[30] But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world <165> to come eternal life.

[31] But many that are first shall be last^[32] ; and the last first.

Going up to Jerusalem

[32] And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,

[33] Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

[34] And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

An ignorant request

[35] And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

[36] And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

[37] They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

Baptism of fire

[38] But Jesus said unto them, know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

[39] And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

But to sit

[40] But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

[41] And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

Not rulers

[42] But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

[43] But so shall it not be among you^[33]: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

[44] And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

[45] For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life^[34] a ransom for many.

Coming to Jericho

[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.

The blind man

[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.

[50] And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

[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.
