Henry begins with a very quick comment about Mark 10 and the rich young ruler, and then moves on to Mark 10:22-27. Henry notes that for the Jews of this time, having wealth was seen as an indication of God’s favor. The content of 1 Tim. 6:17 is also examined as a verse containing information that also deals with riches and the kingdom of God.
The discussion then moves on to verses 28-31 with the information added by Henry that the concept of other believers in Jesus being treated like biological brothers and sisters was revolutionary for that time.
Mark 10:32-34
The concept of Jesus being in the tomb for three days does not mathematically work out for English speakers. However, for the Jews, if time covered any part of a day (month or year) before and after a date, it was included. Thus, any part of Friday, then all of Saturday, then early Sunday morning for the Jews was considered a three-day period, even though it was not our English “requirement” of 72 hours.
Mark 10:35-45
There is an extended discussion of what do the Scriptures mean when they say that Jesus’ life was considered sinless, and also what does it mean when Jesus was both a man and divine?
