Mark 10:33

10:32-45 Christ's going on with his undertaking for the salvation of mankind, was, is, and will be, the wonder of all his disciples. Worldly honour is a glittering thing, with which the eyes of Christ's own disciples have many times been dazzled. Our care must be, that we may have wisdom and grace to know how to suffer with him; and we may trust him to provide what the degrees of our glory shall be. Christ shows them that dominion was generally abused in the world. If Jesus would gratify all our desires, it would soon appear that we desire fame or authority, and are unwilling to taste of his cup, or to have his baptism; and should often be ruined by having our prayers answered. But he loves us, and will only give his people what is good for them.

Saying, behold we go up to Jerusalem,.... They were now upon the road thither. And the son of man; meaning himself, shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the Scribes; by the determinate counsel, and foreknowledge of God, and by the means of a treacherous disciple of his, Judas. The Vulgate Latin version adds, "and to the elders"; but this is not in any of the copies, nor in other versions: and they shall condemn him to death; as they did in the palace of the high priest, "nemine contradicente"; see Mark 14:64, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles; the Romans, to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor; either because they had not then power to put him to death themselves, or because they were desirous he should die the death of the cross, a Roman punishment.

Mark 10:33 . ὅτι ἰδοὺ , etc.: the third prediction has for its specialties delivery to the Gentiles ( τοῖς ἔθνεσι ). and an exact specification of the indignities to be endured: mocking, spitting, scourging. Jesus had been thinking of these things before He spoke of them; hence the excitement of His manner. Mark 10:33

33. Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem—for the last time, and—"all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished" (Lu 18:31). 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—This is the first express statement that the Gentiles would combine with the Jews in His death; the two grand divisions of the human race for whom He died thus taking part in crucifying the Lord of Glory, as Webster and Wilkinson observe.

See the notes at Matthew 20:17-19 . Mark 10:32 Jesus went before him - In the manner of an intrepid, fearless leader and guide, exposing "himself" to danger and death rather than his followers. And they rather amazed ... - They were afraid that evil would befall him in the city; that the scribes and Pharisees, who had so often sought to kill him, would then do it. Their fear and amazement were increased when he told them what would befall him there. They were amazed that, when he knew so well what would happen, he should still persevere in going up to the city.

Verse 10. - Took knowledge of him for knew , A.V. Wonder and amazement ( θάμβος ); any very strong emotion of awe, or admiration, or astonishment. It occurs elsewhere only in Luke 4:36 , where it describes the awe and amazement which came upon those who witnessed the casting out of the unclean spirit from the man in the synagogue at Capernaum. The verb θαμβέω occurs in Acts 9:6 in the T.R., and is rendered "astonished" in the A.V., but is omitted in the text of the R.V.; elsewhere only in Mark 1:27 ; Mark 10:24, 32 . Ἕκθαμβος occurs once in ver. 11 of this chapter; and ἐκθαμβέομαι in Mark 9:15 ; Mark 14:33 ; Mark 16:5, 6 ; ἔκστασις , an ecstasy, mostly used of a state of transport , as Acts 10:10 ; Acts 11:5 ; Acts 22:17 . But in the LXX. ( Genesis 27:33 ), Mark 5:42 ; Mark 16:8 ; and Luke 5:26 , it is used, as here, for a violent emotion of astonishment and amazement. Acts 3:10

I have often remarked that the genuine messengers of God, in the present day have, as noted above, this promise literally fulfilled. With persecutions - For while you meet with nothing but kindness from true Christians, you shall be despised, and often afflicted, by those who are enemies to God and goodness; but, for your comfort, ye shall have in the world to come, αιωνι τῳ ερχομενῳ, the coming world, (that world which is on its way to meet you), eternal life. MARK 10: 31 But many who are first will be last; and the last first.” MARK 10: 32 They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him. Verse 32 And he took again the twelve - Or thus: For having again taken the twelve, etc. I translate και for, which signification it often bears; see Luke 1:22; John 12:35, and elsewhere. This gives the reason of the wonder and fear of the disciples, For he began to tell them on the way, what was to befall him. This sense of και, I find, is also noticed by Rosenmuller. See on Matthew 20:17-19 (note). MARK 10: 33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles. MARK 10: 34 They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him.

These grave warnings are apparently addressed rather to unfaithful members of the outward and visible Church, than to the Pagan world who have never known Christ. The words, “He also will deny us,” imply something of a recognition on the part of us who are denied by Him—something of an expectation on our part that He would recognise us as friends. They are evidently an echo of the Lord’s own sad reply to those many who will say to Him in that day, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? . . . and then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.” (Matthew 7:22-23. See too Matthew 10:33 and Mark 8:33.)

[Reformed Biblical] e rendered " after " these, they should find friends and comfort. It is well to bear trial if God be our friend. With the promises of the Bible in oar hand, we may hail persecutions, and thank God that, amidst so many sorrows, he has furnished such superabundant consolations. ## THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK - Chapter 10 - Verse 31 Verse 31.

words were later wrongly translated by ὑ ιος του ἀ νθρωπου and in Christian apocalyptic, in connection with Daniel 7:13, were understood of the Messiah, and in that meaning then were put into Jesus’ mouth. But this hypothesis is nevertheless very improbable; it lacks any explanation of when and why the Aramaic expression was thus rendered in Greek, was understood in a Messianic sense, and without any reason was put into Jesus’ mouth, cf. Schulze, Die Religion Jesu und der Glaube an Christus, Halle 1897 S. 7-13. Fréd. Krop, La pensée de Jésus sur le royaume de Dieu 124 s. Kähler, Zur Lehre v. d. Versöhnung, Leipzig 1898 S. 78. Rather it is probable that the expression ‎‏‏בר נוש‎ already in Jewish apocalyptic designated the Messiah, or that Jesus himself intentionally derived that title from Daniel, in order to designate himself clearly and yet in another sense than his contemporaries thought, as Messiah. In any case, Jesus calls himself so where, by his humble life, Matthew 8:20, 11:19, by his serving, Matthew 20:28, by his seeking and saving of the lost, Matthew 18:11, by his forgiveness of sins, Mark 2:10, by his power over the Sabbath, Mark 2:18, by his suffering, Mark 8:31, 9:12, 31, 10:33, by his return, Mark 13:26, 14:62, he founds, extends and [237] completes the kingdom of heaven on earth. With this claim and this name Jesus did not first appear toward the end of his life; he was conscious of his Messiahship from the first moment of his public activity onward and began
