Mark 10
Mark 10 is the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It presents further teachings of Jesus as his journey progresses beyond the River Jordan and towards Jerusalem. Verses 1–31 deal with the themes of marriage, children and possessions, while verses 31–52 look ahead again to Jesus' passion and true service, and conclude with a further healing of a blind man, comparable to a similar healing in Mark 8.
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 52 verses.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
At the beginning of the chapter, Jesus and His disciples leave Galilee and travel to Perea, "the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan". They travel south to cross the Jordan again and enter Jericho as Jesus makes His way towards Jerusalem. There is no mention of Samaria or the Samaritans in Mark's Gospel but this chapter outlines a route taken by travellers from Galilee to Jerusalem avoiding Samaria.
Having crossed the Jordan, Jesus teaches the assembled crowd in his customary way, answering a question from the Pharisees about divorce. C. M. Tuckett suggests that Mark 8:34–10:45 constitutes a broad section of the gospel dealing with Christian discipleship and that this pericope on divorce (verses 1–12) "is not out of place" within it, although he notes that some other commentators have treated Mark 10:1—31 as "a small preformed household code on the themes of marriage, children, and possessions".
The Pharisees ask Jesus whether divorce is lawful; Mark comments (in verse 2) that this is asked to test (or to trick or trap) him. The Amplified Bible suggests their intention was "to trick Him into saying something wrong". In the Torah, Deuteronomy 24:1–5 allows a man to divorce his wife if he finds her "indecent or unacceptable" by issuing a written writ of divorce. This is seen as a trap wherein Jesus either agrees with Moses and is seen as submitting to him or disagrees and shows himself in opposition to Moses.[citation needed] Also, Jesus has just moved into the region of Judea, across the Jordan. Both the Pharisees and Jesus would be aware that this was John the Baptist's old ground, and that John had recently been imprisoned, and then put to death as a result of his pronouncements on the topic of Herod Antipas' illegitimate marriage to his brother's wife. It is possible that the Pharisees are trying to entrap Jesus into making similar statements.
Jesus does not deal specifically with Herod's situation, but says that Moses only gave legislation concerning divorce because men's hearts were hard. Moses recognised that marital breakup was going to happen, and would rather have regulated divorce than unregulated abandonment.
Jesus answers by combining quotes from Genesis 1:27 and 2:24 to show that divorce is not part of God's plan:
