Summary Of The Rich Man Scene - 1503 Words

The Rich Man scene occurs in Section B of Part 2 of Mark, just after Jesus blesses little children by Him taking the children and blessing them in His arms and by saying â€Å" I assure you that whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter the Kingdom of God† (10:15). Just after Jesus turns around and said to his disciples â€Å"How hard it will be for rich people to enter the Kingdom of God!† (10:23), Jesus speaks to them about his death the third time and how he will be handed over to the chief priests and condemned to death, but will rise again. As to the genre of this periscope, it is much like the story before it 10:13-16, where the children will enter the Kingdom of God without much effort. What Jesus is trying to tell us and his disciples is that one can only enter the kingdom like a child, empty handed and trusting, open to growth and malleable. (J.A. Draper) The structure of the story is V. 17-18 Jesus starts his journey again and a man coming up to him; vv. 20-22 dialogue between the man and Jesus; v. 23 Jesus explains to the disciples. Verse by Verse Analysis V. 17—â€Å"Good Teacher†Ã¢â‚¬â€ as soon as Jesus left the house where he blessed the children (10:13-16), Jesus is confronted by a man who kneels at his feet right away and asks â€Å"Good Teacher, what must I do to receive eternal life?† (10:17).This is just as the leper did in (1:40), but in this case the man is not asking for healing or purification but for a way to eternal life.
