Markus 6:56
Konteks6:56 And wherever he would go – into villages, towns, or countryside – they would place the sick in the marketplaces, and would ask him if 1 they could just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
Markus 10:21
Konteks10:21 As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for him and said, “You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money 2 to the poor, and you will have treasure 3 in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
[6:56] 1 tn Grk “asked that they might touch.”
[10:21] 2 tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
[10:21] 3 sn The call for sacrifice comes with a promise of eternal reward: You will have treasure in heaven. Jesus’ call is a test to see how responsive the man is to God’s direction through him. Will he walk the path God’s agent calls him to walk? For a rich person who got it right, see Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10.
