Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [Mark: Chapter 10].
is not a disclaiming of deity on the part of Jesus. {That I may
inherit} (\hina kl•ronom•s•\). Mt 19:16 has (\sch•\), that I
may "get."
10:20 {All these} (\tauta panta\). Literally, {these all} (of
them).
10:21 {Looking upon him loved him} (\emblepsas aut•i •gap•sen\).
Mark alone mentions this glance of affection, ingressive aorist
participle and verb. Jesus fell in love with this charming youth.
{One thing thou lackest} (\Hen se husterei\). Lu 18:22 has it:
"One thing thou lackest yet" (\Eti hen soi leipei\). Possibly two
translations of the same Aramaic phrase. Mt 19:20 represents
the youth as asking "What lack I yet?" (\Ti eti huster•;\). The
answer of Jesus meets that inquiry after more than mere outward
obedience to laws and regulations. The verb \huster•\ is from the
adjective \husteros\ (behind) and means to be too late, to come
short, to fail of, to lack. It is used either with the
accusative, as here, or with the ablative as in 2Co 11:5, or
the dative as in Textus Receptus here, \soi\.
10:22 {But his countenance fell} (\ho de stugnasas\). In the LXX
and Polybius once and in Mt 16:3 (passage bracketed by Westcott
and Hort). The verb is from \stugnos\, sombre, gloomy, like a
lowering cloud. See on ¯Mt 19:22 for discussion of "sorrowful"
(\lupoumenos\).
10:23 {Looked round about} (\periblepsamenos\). Another picture
of the looks of Jesus and in Mark alone as in 3:5,34. "To see
what impression the incident had made on the Twelve" (Bruce).
"When the man was gone the Lord's eye swept round the circle of
the Twelve, as he drew for them the lesson of the incident"
(Swete). {How hardly} (\P•s duskol•s\). So Lu 18:24. Mt 19:23
has it: "With difficulty (\duskol•s\) shall a rich man." See on
Matthew for this word.
10:24 {Were amazed} (\ethambounto\). Imperfect passive. A look of
blank astonishment was on their faces at this statement of Jesus.
They in common with other Jews regarded wealth as a token of
God's special favour. {Children} (\tekna\). Here alone to the
Twelve and this tender note is due to their growing perplexity.
{For them that trust in riches} (\tous pepoithotas epi tois
chr•masin\). These words do not occur in Aleph B Delta Memphitic
and one Old Latin manuscript. Westcott and Hort omit them from
