Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Mark 10:1

"And he arose from thence and cometh into the borders of Judaea and beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again." — Mark 10:1 (ASV)

Jesus was moving closer and closer to the ancient city of Jerusalem where the final acts of the redemptive drama were to take place. He set his face to the accomplishment of his divine mission. Since 9:30 Jesus had been directing his teaching ministry toward his disciples, but now again he was among the crowds and teaching them.
