Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Mar 10:13 - They brought

They brought ( prosepheron ).

Imperfect active tense, implying repetition. So also Luk 18:15, though Mat 19:13 has the constative aorist passive (prosēnechthēsan ). "This incident follows with singular fitness after the Lord’ s assertion of the sanctity of married life"(Swete). These children (paidia , Mark and Matthew; brephē in Luke) were of various ages. They were brought to Jesus for his blessing and prayers (Matthew). The mothers had reverence for Jesus and wanted him to touch (hapsētai ) them. There was, of course, no question of baptism or salvation involved, but a most natural thing to do.

Vincent: Mar 10:13 - They brought

They brought ( προσέφερον )

Imperfect tense; they were bringing , as he went on his way. Similarly, were rebuking , as they were successively brought.

Wesley: Mar 10:13

Clarke: Mar 10:13 - And they brought young children

Poole: Mar 10:13-16

Ver. 13-16. This is reported both by Matthew and Luke, only they both omit what we here have, Mar 10:15 . By the kingdom of God, is doubtless to be understood the word of God, or rather the grace of Christ in the gospel: he that doth not receive it with humility and modesty, without disputing, without malice, like a little child, shall never come into heaven.

Gill: Mar 10:13 - And they brought young children to him // that he should touch them // and his disciples rebuked those that brought them

And they brought young children to him,.... The parents, or friends, or nurses of the children in those parts, having heard of the fame of Jesus; and having entertained an high opinion of him, as a great prophet, and a holy, good man, brought their children in their arms, or hands,

that he should touch them; as he did when he healed diseased persons, as these might be, though not expressed:

and his disciples rebuked those that brought them; See Gill on Mat 19:13.
