Commentary
Mark 10 is a chapter that focuses on Jesus' teachings about marriage, divorce, and children. Jesus begins by addressing the Pharisees' question about divorce, and He makes it clear that divorce is not God's ideal. He then goes on to explain that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, and that it should not be broken. Jesus also emphasizes the importance of children, and He encourages His followers to welcome them and to treat them with respect.
