Notes

Mark 10:19

This reply may sound strange to Christians who know Paul’s teaching on this subject (for example, Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16). In naming five of the Ten Commandments, Jesus was not implying that the man could earn eternal life by keeping them. Instead, he was telling him what God’s standards are and letting the man examine his own life.

To truly love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:30–31), we must:

trust in God's grace,
receive the sacrificial death of Jesus for us (Mark 10:45; Mark 14:24), and
obey his commands (John 15:10; 1 John 2:4; 1 John 3:22).

Mark 10:17–31

The story of the rich man continues the themes of discipleship that began in 9:33 and the requirements for entering the kingdom of God (10:13–16). The rich man’s attitude is very different from the humble, childlike faith needed to enter the kingdom of God.

Mark 9:30–10:31

This section is the second cycle (see study note on 8:27–9:1) containing:

a prediction about the suffering of Jesus (9:30–32),
an error by the disciples (9:33–34), and
teaching about discipleship (9:35–10:31).
