Trapdoor Questions


 

He set out from there and went to the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Then crowds converged on him again, and as was his custom he taught them again.

Some Pharisees came to test him, asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

Mark 10:1–2
 

He replied to them, “What did Moses command you?”

Mark 10:3
 

They said, “Moses permitted us to write divorce papers and send her away.”

Mark 10:4
 

But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts. But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

When they were in the house again, the disciples questioned him about this matter. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. Also, if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

Mark 10:5–12

As [Jesus] was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

Mark 10:17
 

[God] has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11
 

“Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

 

“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good except God alone…

Mark 10:18
 

You know the commandments: Do not murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not defraud; honor your father and mother.”

Mark 10:19
 

He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth.”

Mark 10:20
 

Looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, “You lack one thing…”

Mark 10:21
 

Looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” But he was dismayed by this demand, and he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!”

Mark 10:21-23
 

People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” After taking them in his arms, he laid his hands on them and blessed them.

Mark 10:13-16
 

Children receive the gospel without proposing amendments to it…he takes it from the word of God just as he sees it there…it is to him a matter of undoubted fact.
