Compare all
41 aAnd when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.  
42 But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, a“You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.  
43 aYet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.  
44 And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.
45 For even athe Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and bto give His life a ransom for many.”  

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

46 aNow they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.

What Does Mark 10:43 Mean?



Mark 10:42-45

Jesus teaches self-denial to His disciples not only with His words but also by His actions. Notice that His call to self-denial comes immediately after predicting His own sacrificial death. He is the supreme model of the self-denial to which He calls others. He even denies Himself any urge to avenge Himself or to threaten His persecutors for what they had done to Him. In Jesus' example, we see that, by committing ourselves to God who judges rightly, we deny ourselves the temptation of worldly lusts.
