(10) And in the house.--St. Mark's narrative is, on the whole, much shorter than St. Matthew's; but this detail of the question coming from the disciples after they had entered the house is given by him only.Verse 10. - The discussion with the Pharisees, related in the previous verses, had taken place in public. But now in the house, and in private, the disciples asked him again of this matter; so that what follows seems here to have been said to them privately. But it would appear from St. Matthew (Matthew 21:8) that our Lord had already said this in public; so that here he proclaims a new law, or rather affirms the sanctions of the primitive institution, abrogating the "bill of divorcement" excepting in the one case of fornication, and restoring the rite of marriage to its primaeval and indissoluble character. Mark 10:10 captures a pivotal moment: once back inside, the disciples openly seek Christ’s explanation of His marriage teaching. The verse underscores the value of private communion with Jesus, the importance of asking Him direct questions, and the necessity of grasping God’s unchanging standards. True disciples step away from distraction, bring their concerns to the Lord, and receive clarity that shapes obedient living. Parallel Commentaries ...
