Robertson: Mar 10:32 - And they were amazed

And they were amazed ( kai ethambounto ).

Imperfect tense describing the feelings of the disciples as Jesus was walking on in front of them (ēn proagōn autous , periphrastic imperfect active), an unusual circumstance in itself that seemed to bode no good as they went on through Perea towards Jerusalem. In fact, they that followed were afraid (hoi de akolouthountes ephobounto ) as they looked at Jesus walking ahead in solitude. The idiom (hoi de ) may not mean that all the disciples were afraid, but only some of them. "The Lord walked in advance of the Twelve with a solemnity and a determination which foreboded danger"(Swete). Cf. Luk 9:5. They began to fear coming disaster as they neared Jerusalem. They read correctly the face of Jesus.

Robertson: Mar 10:32 - And he took again the twelve

And he took again the twelve ( kai paralabōn tous dōdeka ).

Matthew has "apart"from the crowds and that is what Mark also means. Note paralabōn , taking to his side.

Robertson: Mar 10:32 - And began to tell them the things that were to happen to him

And began to tell them the things that were to happen to him ( ērxato autois legein ta mellonta autōi sumbainein ).

He had done it before three times already (Mar 8:31; Mar 9:13; Mar 9:31). So Jesus tries once more. They had failed utterly heretofore. How is it now? Luke adds (Luk 18:34): "They understood none of these things."But Mark and Matthew show how the minds of two of the disciples were wholly occupied with plans of their own selfish ambition while Jesus was giving details of his approaching death and resurrection.

Vincent: Mar 10:32 - Were amazed

Were amazed

The sudden awe which fell on the disciples is noted by Mark only.

Wesley: Mar 10:32 - They were in the way to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed

At his courage and intrepidity, considering the treatment which he had himself told them he should meet with there: and as they followed, they were afraid - Both for him and themselves: nevertheless he judged it best to prepare them, by telling them more particularly what was to ensue. Mat 20:17; Luk 18:31.

JFB: Mar 10:32 - And they were in the way

On the road.

JFB: Mar 10:32 - going up to Jerusalem

In Perea, and probably somewhere between Ephraim and Jericho, on the farther side of the Jordan, and to the northeast of Jerusalem.

JFB: Mar 10:32 - and Jesus went before them

As GROTIUS says, in the style of an intrepid Leader.

JFB: Mar 10:32 - and they were amazed

Or "struck with astonishment" at His courage in advancing to certain death.

JFB: Mar 10:32 - and as they followed, they were afraid

For their own safety. These artless, lifelike touches--not only from an eye-witness, but one whom the noble carriage of the Master struck with wonder and awe--are peculiar to Mark, and give the second Gospel a charm all its own; making us feel as if we ourselves were in the midst of the scenes it describes. Well might the poet exclaim:

"The Saviour, what a noble flame

Was kindled in His breast,

When, hasting to Jerusalem,

He march'd before the rest!"

JFB: Mar 10:32 - And he took again the twelve

Referring to His previous announcements on this sad subject.

JFB: Mar 10:32 - and began to tell them what things should happen unto him

"were going to befall Him." The word expresses something already begun but not brought to a head, rather than something wholly future.

Clarke: Mar 10:32 - And he took again the twelve

And he took again the twelve - Or thus: For having again taken the twelve, etc. I translate και for, which signification it often bears; see Luk 1:22; Joh 12:35, and elsewhere. This gives the reason of the wonder and fear of the disciples, For he began to tell them on the way, what was to befall him. This sense of και, I find, is also noticed by Rosenmuller. See on Mat 20:17-19 (note).

TSK: Mar 10:32 - they were in // they were amazed // And he

they were in : Mat 20:17-19; Luk 18:31-34

they were amazed : This probably refers to a sort of indefinable awe which the apostles began to feel for Jesus, which the mighty miracles he wrought, and the air of majesty and authority he now assumed, were calculated to inspire. Zec 3:8; Luk 9:51; Joh 11:8, Joh 11:16

And he : Mar 4:34; Mat 11:25, Mat 13:11; Luk 10:23

Poole: Mar 10:32-34 - delivered to the chief priests and the scribes // deliver him to the Gentiles // mock him, scourge him, spit on him

Ver. 32-34. See Poole on "Mat 20:17" , and following verses to Mat 20:19 . This is at least the third time that our Saviour instructs his disciples as to his passion, toward which he was now going, and that with such a readiness, that, to the amazement of his disciples, he led the way, and outwent them. It is observable that Christ here describeth his sufferings more particularly than before. He tells them here that he should be first

delivered to the chief priests and the scribes and they should condemn him Then they should

deliver him to the Gentiles ( such were the Romans and Pontius Pilate), and they should

mock him, scourge him, spit on him put him to death, but he should rise again the third day. Luke adds, Luk 18:34 , They understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. How hardly do we believe what seems contrary to our interests! But we are to hear for the time to come. This premonition was afterwards of use to them, they remembered the words of Jesus when the things were come to pass. Preachers’ words are not lost, though at present they be not believed or hearkened to.

Haydock: Mar 10:32

Christ goes before, to shew his eagerness to suffer the ignominies and torments of his approaching passion, for our salvation. (Theophylactus) ---

But the disciples being already forewarned of what their Master was to suffer from the high priest and Scribes, went along the road to Jerusalem, with silent fear and trepidation, either lest they should be put to death with him, or lest he, whose life and doctrines they enjoyed, should fall into the hands of his enemies. But our kind Redeemer, foreseeing that the minds of his disciples were disturbed, comforts them with the assurance of his resurrection. (Ven. Bede)

Gill: Mar 10:32 - And they were in the way // going up to Jerusalem // and Jesus went before them // and they were amazed // And as they followed // they were afraid // And he took again the twelve // and began to tell them what things should happen unto him

And they were in the way,.... Upon the road, having left the coasts of Judea on the further side of Jordan:

going up to Jerusalem; to the passover there, which was to be in a short time, and where Christ was to suffer and die; for this was the last journey he took, and the last passover he was to eat there:

and Jesus went before them; as their forerunner, their guide and leader, with unconcernedness and intrepidity; though he knew what would befall him, and what designs were forming against him: and this he did to inspire his disciples with courage, and to leave them an example that they should tread in his steps:

and they were amazed; at his readiness to go up to Jerusalem, and the cheerful Spirit he discovered, when he had so many, and such powerful enemies at that place, in going to which he exposed himself to the greatest dangers.

And as they followed; for they did not choose to leave him, but were determined to continue with him at all events, though

they were afraid; what would be the consequence of it to themselves, as well as to him; for they being his followers, could not expect any other than ill usage from his enemies.

And he took again the twelve; the disciples, as he had done before, Mar 8:31,

and began to tell them what things should happen unto him; being what were determined by God, agreed unto by himself, and foretold in the Scriptures; for these were not casual and contingent events.
