In 2 Samuel 12:8, why does God appear to condone or at least tolerate David's multiple wives, despite other biblical condemnations of polygamy? What Does Mark 10:19 Mean You know the commandmentsJesus begins by reminding the rich young man of what he already recognizes as God’s unchanging standard. The Lord is not offering suggestions; He is pointing to the very words written by the finger of God at Sinai (Exodus 31:18). This establishes two crucial realities: • God’s law is eternal and binding (Psalm 19:7-9). • Knowing the commandments is not enough; obedience is required (James 1:22). By drawing attention to the Decalogue, Jesus exposes whether the inquirer’s confidence rests in personal morality or in humble faith (Galatians 3:24). Do not murder The sixth commandment (Exodus 20:13) safeguards the sanctity of life because every human bears God’s image (Genesis 9:6). • Physical violence is the obvious violation, but Jesus extends the command to angry, contemptuous words (Matthew 5:21-22). • Resentment, prejudice, and unforgiveness simmering in the heart are seedlings of the same sin (1 John 3:15). Obeying this command means we cherish, protect, and promote life—born and unborn—reflecting God’s heart (Psalm 139:13-16). Do not commit adultery The seventh commandment (Exodus 20:14) defends the covenant of marriage, a picture of Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:25-32). • Fidelity is more than physical exclusivity; Jesus presses the issue to the level of desire (Matthew 5:27-28). • Pornography, flirtation, and emotional affairs fracture purity long before any act is carried out (Job 31:1). Keeping this word means honoring marriage and keeping the marriage bed undefiled (Hebrews 13:4), demonstrating God’s faithfulness. Do not steal The eighth commandment (Exodus 20:15) recognizes God as the ultimate owner of all things (Psalm 24:1). • Theft includes obvious taking of possessions and subtler forms like dishonest time sheets, inflated expense reports, or pirated media (Ephesians 4:28). • Contentment uproots the impulse to steal (1 Timothy 6:6-10). • Generosity is the positive flip side; we work so we may “have something to share with the one in need” (Ephesians 4:28). Obeying here models trust that God supplies every need (Philippians 4:19). Do not bear false witness The ninth commandment (Exodus 20:16) protects truth, reflecting God’s own character (Titus 1:2). • Lying, exaggeration, gossip, and slander twist reality and wound reputations (Proverbs 12:22). • Truth-telling must be coupled with love (Ephesians 4:15). God’s people speak truth because Jesus is “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). Do not cheat others Though not an exact Decalogue wording, this phrase summarizes commands against coveting and fraud (Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:14). • Manipulating contracts, short-changing employees, or exploiting loopholes betrays neighbor love (Romans 13:10). • The Lord detests dishonest scales (Proverbs 11:1), and Zacchaeus showed genuine repentance by restoring fourfold what he had taken (Luke 19:8). Integrity in business and relationships displays the righteousness of the kingdom (Matthew 6:33). Honor your father and mother The fifth commandment (Exodus 20:12) is the first with a promise: “so that your days may be long in the land.” • Respect, obedience, and care for parents please God (Ephesians 6:1-3; 1 Timothy 5:4). • Even grown children honor parents by listening, providing, and speaking with grace (Proverbs 23:22). • Ultimately, honoring earthly parents points to honoring our heavenly Father (Malachi 1:6). summary Mark 10:19 showcases the holy, good, and unchanging law of God. Jesus lists familiar commands not to congratulate human effort but to expose the heart’s need for a Savior. Each word reveals God’s character—life-giving, faithful, generous, truthful, just, and honorable. Faced with this mirror, we see our failures and are driven to Christ, who perfectly kept every command and offers His righteousness to all who believe (2 Corinthians 5:21). Living these truths by His grace, we love God and neighbor and testify to the transforming power of the gospel. (19) Defraud not.--Peculiar to St. Mark. It seems as if intended to be a special application of the Tenth Commandment. One who had great possessions, gathered in the usual ways by which men gain wealth, needed to examine himself specially by that text. Were there no ill-gotten gains in his treasure? Had no wages of the reaper been kept back; no sharp bargains driven with widows or orphans or the poor?Verse 19. - In St. Matthew (Matthew 21:17, etc.) the record of our Lord's conversation with the young ruler is more full; and it should be read side by side with the more condensed narrative of St. Mark. It will be observed that it is upon the commandments of the second table that our Lord here lays stress. For the love of God produces the love of our neighbor; and he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?Parallel Commentaries ...
