Getting up: Mt 19:1-12 beyond the Jordan: John 10:40 John 11:7 began to teach them: Eccl 12:9 Jer 32:33 Joh 18:20 Mat 4:23; Mat 26:55; Mar 1:21; Mar 2:13; Mar 4:2; Mar 6:2, Mar 6:6, 34; Mar 12:35; Mar 14:49 Mark 10 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passages: Matthew 19:1-2+ (DESCRIBING THE SAME JOURNEY AS MARK 10)When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan; 2 and large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there. Jesus’ Last Journey from Capernaum in Galilee to Jerusalem JESUS' CUSTOM TO TEACH THE CROWDS Think about this last section of the Gospel of Mark which takes place in the last 6 months of Jesus' life on earth (see diagram above to help get time perspective). Knowing that time is short, Jesus sets about teaching and modeling for His disciples a number of important kingdom truths. Jesus teaches on divorce (Mark 10:1–12), blesses the children (Mark 10:13–16), confronts the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17–27), confirms the disciples’ rewards (Mark 10:28–31), and tries for a third time to prepare the disciples for His death (Mark 10:32–34) 🙏 THOUGHT - Considering the short time left in Jesus' life, the thought of the brevity of each of our lives (Jas 4:14+, Ps 144:4+) begs the question for each of us that if we knew we had only a few weeks to live, how would we spend the time? Would my priorities change? Would I say anything to my loved ones to help them get ready for the future? In short, would I diligently seek to Redeem the Time or would I waste it? (See related video I did on Redeem the Time and if you want to be challenged watch the eulogy I gave I entitled A Life Well Lived) Hiebert - Chapter 10 constitutes a distinct section in Mark’s Gospel. It consists of a series of events during Jesus’ last journey to Jerusalem, the only one mentioned in Mark (The Gospel of Mark: An Expositional Commentary) Getting up (anistemi), He went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan - Went from there is "from Galilee" as noted in the parallel passage in Matthew 19:1+. Jesus left Galilee for the last time and would not return until after His crucifixion and resurrection, until Mt 28:16+, after all Jesus’ predictions have been fulfilled. From there presumably is from Capernaum (see Mk 9:33+) which had served as His home base during His Galilean ministry. He passed through Samaria, met and healed 10 men who had leprosy, and continued to Jerusalem. He spent some time east of the Jordan (Mark 10:1) before going to Jericho (Luke 19:1+). Swete says “This phrase (went from there) … seems to be used for the commencement of a considerable journey, compare Mark 7:24. On the present occasion the Lord is finally quitting Galilee and Capernaum; His face is henceforth turned towards Jerusalem.” Hiebert adds "In Mark 7:24 it was used of the long journey into Phoenicia. It marks a departure into a new territory. Here it denotes the commencement of His last official journey....Mark omitted any account of the later Judean and the Perean ministries, as recorded in Luke 9:51–18:34 and John 7:1–11:54. (The Gospel of Mark: An Expositional Commentary) Where is beyond the Jordan? It is the region of Perea ruled by Herod Antipas (see map above). - Wikipedia says "Perea or Peraea (Greek: Περαία, "the country beyond"), was the portion of the kingdom of Herod the Great occupying the eastern side of the Jordan River valley, from about one third the way down the Jordan River segment connecting the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea to about one third the way down the north-eastern shore of the Dead Sea; it did not extend very far to the east. Herod the Great's kingdom was bequeathed to four heirs, of which Herod Antipas received both Perea and Galilee." 🙏 THOUGHT - Notice Galilee and Perea on the map above as these were ruled by a wicked man Herod Antipas who had divorced his wife and married his brother's wife Herodias who had divorced her husband. John the Baptist was put to death over the question of these divorces! You say "So what?" Here's what -- the serpentine Pharisees were about to pose a question about divorce in an attempt to trap Jesus. One might suppose that He was in very dangerous territory to have questions put to him about divorce! Lane - ‘From Capernaum (Mk 9:33) Jesus came into Southern Palestine. The order in which the territories are listed (Judea and Perea [NIV: ‘across the Jordan’]) suggests that he went across the mountains of Samaria into Judea, following the ordinary route for pilgrims on their way to the Holy City (cf Luke 9:51–53). At some point, he crossed over the Jordan into Perea which was part of the territory of Herod Antipas.’ (See The Gospel of Mark - Page 353) Crowds gathered around Him again - Crowds gathered is present tense indicating this was a continual process (one pictures an ever enlarging throng around Him) and as stated in Mt 19:1+ it was "large crowds (who) followed Him" so the crowds that gathered were at least in part those who had followed Jesus from Galilee. So the crowds both followed Him and flocked to Him! Hiebert says "Again suggests that for some time, Jesus had been deliberately avoiding such crowds in order to be alone with His disciples."
