Bible Doctrine Study Guides Mark Chapter 10 (Continued) 10:32-34``Now, they were on the way/road . . . going up to Jerusalem. And there was proceeding before them Jesus and they were amazed. And, those that were 'following along as students' {akoloutheo}, were fearing. And, having taken again the Twelve, He {Jesus} began to be speaking concerning the things that were about to be converging into Him, 10:33`` "Behold {pay attention} we are going up to Jerusalem, and the 'Son of Man' {title for the humanity of Jesus Christ} will be 'betrayed over'/'given over' {paradidomi} to the chief priests and scribes/'experts in the law' . . . and they will condemn Him to death and betray/'give {paradidomi} Him over to the Gentiles {specifically the Romans} . . . 10:34`` and they will mock {empaizo} Him, spit {emptuo} on Him, scourge/flog Him severely {mastigoo} . . . and kill Him. Yet after three days . . . He will rise again {anistemi}." 10:35``And, there comes to Him {Jesus} James and John . . . the sons of Zebedee, saying to Him, "Teacher, we want that whatever we ask You, You will do for us." 10:36``And He {Jesus} said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?" 10:37``And they say to Him {Jesus}, "Grant/Permit one of us at once that one on Your right {hand side} and the other on Your left {hand side} . . . that we might sit in Your glory." 10:38``But He {Jesus} said to them, "You absolutely do not {ouk} comprehend/know {oida} what you are asking for yourselves. 'Are you able'/'Do you have the power' {dunamai} to be drinking the cup which I am drinking and with the baptism with which I am baptized, 'are you able'/'do you have the power' {dunamai} to be baptized?"   {'His cup' was the cross filled with punishment for all sins ever   committed by mankind and His baptism was unique. None of us   'are able'.} 10:39-40``And, they {John and James} said to Him {Jesus}, "We 'are able'/'have the power' {dunamai}." And, Jesus said to them, "The cup which I drink, you will drink. And, the baptism with which I am baptized, with that baptism you will be baptized . . . 10:40`` but the sitting on My right hand or My left hand is absolutely not {ouk} Mine to give . . . but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."   {God's decreed plan determined in eternity past   who God would grace with these honors} 10:41``And, when the {other} ten heard, they began to be indignant {aganakteo} with James and John {and kept it up}. 10:42-45``And, having called them to Himself, Jesus says to them, "You know that those who are recognized as ruling over the Gentiles . . . 'lord it over' {katakurieuo} them. And, 'those in high positions'/'their great ones' {megas} dominate/' exercise authority' {katexousiazo} over them. 10:43`` But absolutely not {ouk} thus . . . is it among you. But whoever if {ean} desires - maybe they do, maybe they do not {3rd class condition} - to be great {megas} among you . . . must be your servant/ 'one who ministers to the others' {diakonos}. 10:44`` And whoever if {an} desires {subjunctive mood} - maybe they do want, maybe they do not want -   {'an' plus the subjunctive mood in the apodosis - 3rd class   condition}  to be the first {protos} among you will be the slave {doulos} of all. 10:45`` For even the 'Son of Man' absolutely did not {ouk} come to have service rendered to Him, but to render service . . . and to give His life/soul {psuche} . . . a ransom for many."   {His soul/life/'relationship with God as another perfect being' was   'ransom' for all mankind from the slavemarket of sin by His One   Work - the cross} 10:46``And, they come into Jericho. And, as He {Jesus} is proceeding out from Jericho . . . and His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus . . . blind . . . a beggar, was sitting alongside the road/way . . . begging. 10:47``And, having heard that it was Jesus, the Jesus of Nazareth, he began to keep on crying out and saying, "Son of David . . . Jesus . . . have mercy { eleeo} on me at once!" 10:48``And, many kept on censuring him severely to the effect that he should become quiet . . . but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy {eleeo} on me at once!" 10:49-50``And, coming to a standstill, Jesus said, "Call him at once." And, they call the blind man, saying to him, " 'Be of good courage'/'Have courage'! Be arising . . . He {Jesus} is calling you." 10:50`` And, having thrown off his 'outer garment'/cloak, having leaped up . . . he came to Jesus. 10:51``And, 'having an answer for'/'giving a discerning answer from the ultimate source of Himself to' {apokrinomai} him, Jesus said, "What are you desiring that I shall do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Rabbi/Master {rhabboni} . . . that I might recover my sight." 10:52``And, Jesus said to him, "Go/Be off . . . your faith has 'healed you perfectly'/ 'healed you in the past with the result that you are healed forever'." And, immediately he recovered his sight and was 'following Him as a student' {akoloutheo} on the Way/road. {Note: Following Jesus as a student on the Way has two meanings. The physical - walking after Him as a student would follow a Teacher. But, also as Paul says, "Imitate me . . . as I imitate Him". It means to pattern your lifestyle after that of the teacher. And, how do you do that? By replacing your human viewpoint with His divine viewpoint and apply that viewpoint to your life's experiences.}
