Mark 10:46

"For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”"

Key Reflection

This verse encapsulates Jesus' role as both servant and sacrifice. He came to fulfill a mission of humble service rather than seeking servitude himself, mirroring the ultimate act of giving his life to save many. This dual aspect—service and ransom—highlights Jesus’ dedication to humanity’s redemption through selfless action.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verses 46-52. See Barnes "Mt 20:29, Mt 20:30-34. Verse 46. Blind Bartimaeus. Matthew says there were two. Mark mentions but one, though he does not deny that there was another. He mentions this man because he was well known--Bartimaeus, THE blind man. {h} "And they came" Mt 20:29; Lu 18:35 __________________________________________________________________
