Robertson Word Pictures - Mark 10:24 - 10:24


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Were amazed (ethambounto). Imperfect passive. A look of blank astonishment was on their faces at this statement of Jesus. They in common with other Jews regarded wealth as a token of God’s special favour.

Children (tekna). Here alone to the Twelve and this tender note is due to their growing perplexity.

For them that trust in riches (tous pepoithotas epi tois chrēmasin). These words do not occur in Aleph B Delta Memphitic and one Old Latin manuscript. Westcott and Hort omit them from their text as an evident addition to explain the difficult words of Jesus.
