Gospel of Mark Chapter 10 A

Galilee Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them. (Mark 10: 1) Jerusalem Judea Perea Samaria Jordan River Jesus spent the last 6 months of His ministry beyond the Jordan and in Judea.

Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife? ” “What did Moses command you? ” he replied. They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away. ” (Mark 10: 2 -4)

If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house. (Deut 24: 1) House of Shammai (Tradition) House of Hillel (Tolerant) “Something indecent” refers only to adultery. Any other offenses are not grounds for divorce. “Becomes displeasing to him” can be due to various trivial transgressions, such as burning or over-salting a meal, spinning yarn in public, conversing with strangers, disrespecting the husband’s family, yelling loudly, even if “he found another woman who is better looking than her and wishes to marry her”.

This is similar to how God allowed the hardhearted Israelites to have a king, even though God’s intention was to be their king Himself. God has His “sovereign will” and “permissive will”. “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law, ” Jesus replied. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female. ’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. ’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate. ” (Mark 10: 59)

When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband marries another man, she commits adultery. ” (Mark 10: 10 -12)

People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. (Mark 10: 13 -14)

Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. ” And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. (Mark 10: 15 -16)

Why do you call me good? No one is good—except God alone. Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother. ’ Teacher, all these I have kept since I was a boy.

One thing you lack. Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.

At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. (Mark 10: 22)
