Vincent, [1886]\nTempting\nSee on Mat 6:13.\nBill (\u03b2\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03af\u03bf\u03bd)\nSee on Mat 19:7. Diminutive. Lit., a little book; Lat., libellus, from which comes our word libel, a written accusation. Accordingly Wyc. has a libel of forsaking, and Tynd. a testimonial of her divorcement.\nShall cleave\nSee on Mat 19:5. Tynd., bide by.\nShall be one flesh (\u1f14\u03c3\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b5\u1f30\u03c2 \u03c3\u03ac\u03c1\u03ba\u03b1 \u03bc\u03af\u03b1\u03bd)\nLit., \"shall be unto one flesh.\" The preposition expresses more graphically than the A. V. the becoming of one from two. So Rev., shall become.\nWhat\nRegarding the two as one.\nThey brought (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03ad\u03c6\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd)\nImperfect tense; they were bringing, as he went on his way. Similarly, were rebuking, as they were successively brought.\nTook them in his arms\nSee on Mar 9:36.\nPut his hands upon them and blessed them\nThe best texts read \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5\u03c5\u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c4\u03b9\u03b8\u03b5\u1f76\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f70\u03c2 \u03c7\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c1\u03b1\u03c2 \u1f10\u03c0' \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03ac, blessed them, laying his hands upon them; including the laying on of hands in the blessing. The compound rendered blessed occurs only here in the New Testament. It is stronger than the simple form, and expresses the earnestness of Christ's interest. Alford renders fervently blessed.\nRunning and kneeled\nTwo details peculiar to Mark.\nWhy callest thou, etc\nCompare Mat 19:17. The renderings of the A. V. and Rev. here are correct. There is no change of reading as in Matthew, where the text was altered to conform it to Mark and Luke.\nHe was sad (\u03c3\u03c4\u03c5\u03b3\u03bd\u03ac\u03c3\u03b1\u03c2)\nApplied to the sky in Mat 16:3; lowering. The word paints forcibly the gloom which clouded his face.\nNeedle (\u1fe5\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2)\nA word stigmatized by the grammarians as unclassical. One of them (Phrynichus) says, \"As for \u1fe5\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03c2, nobody would know what it is.\" Matthew also uses it. See on Mat 19:24. Luke uses \u03b2\u03b5\u03bb\u03cc\u03bd\u03b7\u03c2, the surgical needle. See on Luk 18:25.\nHouses, etc\nThese details are peculiar to Mark. Note especially with persecutions, and see Introduction. With beautiful delicacy the Lord omits wives; so that Julian's scoff that the Christian has the promise of a hundred wives is without foundation.\nWere amazed\nThe sudden awe which fell on the disciples is noted by Mark only.\nWhich are accounted to rule\nWyc., that seem to have princehead on folks.\nMinister\nSee on Mar 9:35.\nFor many (\u1f00\u03bd\u03c4\u1f76 \u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03bb\u1ff6\u03bd)\nFor, in the sense of over against, instead of; not on behalf of.\nSon of Timaeus\nMark, as usual, is particular about names.\nBlind\nDiseases of the eye are very common in the East. Thomson says of Ramleh, \"The ash-heaps are extremely mischievous; on the occurrence of the slightest wind the air is filled with a fine, pungent dust, which is very injurious to the eyes. I once walked the streets counting all that were either blind or had defective eyes, and it amounted to about one-half the male population. The women I could not count, for they are rigidly veiled\" (\"Land and Book\"). Palgrave says that ophthalmia is fearfully prevalent, especially among children. \"It would be no exaggeration to say that one adult out of every five has his eyes more or less damaged by the consequences of this disease\" (\"Central and Eastern Arabia\").\nBeggar\nSee on Mat 5:3.\nRose (\u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u1f70\u03c2)\nThe best texts read \u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03ae\u03b4\u03b7\u03c3\u03b1\u03c2 leaped up, or, as Rev., sprang up.","title":"Vincent's Word Studies: Mark: Mark Chapter 10","type":"page"}
