Marco 10:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:16

And he took them up in his arms
"Upon his arms", the Syriac version says; "he put them into his bosom", according to the Ethiopic; and the Persic renders it, "he took them into his bosom": all which expresses great tenderness towards them, and affection for them:

put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
The Ethiopic version transposes these clauses, and puts blessing first, contrary to the natural order of the words, and things; for he first put his hands on the children, according to the custom of the Jews, and then prayed over them, and wished all happiness and prosperity to them; (See Gill on Matthew 19:15).

Marco 10:16 In-Context

14 E Gesù, veduto ciò, s’indegnò, e disse loro: Lasciate i piccoli fanciulli venire a me, e non li divietate; perciocchè di tali è il regno di Dio.
15 Io vi dico in verità, che chiunque non avrà ricevuto il regno di Dio come piccolo fanciullo, non entrerà in esso.
16 E recatiseli in braccio, ed imposte loro le mani, li benedisse.
17 OR come egli usciva fuori, per mettersi in cammino, un tale corse a lui; e inginocchiatosi davanti a lui, lo domandò: Maestro buono, che farò per ereditare la vita eterna?
18 E Gesù gli disse: Perchè mi chiami buono? niuno è buono, se non un solo, cioè Iddio.
