Marcos 10:50

50 El entonces, echando su capa, se levantó, y vino a Jesús

Marcos 10:50 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:50

And he casting away his garment
His upper garment, and which no doubt was little worth; though this he did, that he might make the quicker dispatch to Christ:

rose;
from off the bank, or ground, whereon he sat, in an instant: and "sprung up", as the Vulgate Latin, and Beza's ancient copy read, with great nimbleness, and in haste:

and came to Jesus;
being led by the persons that were sent to call him. It may be observed from hence, that such who are effectually called by the grace of Christ, of which this man was an emblem, hate the garment spotted with the flesh; and: put off the old man, as to the former conversation, being called by an holy God, with an holy calling, to holiness in heart and life; and that by the Gospel, which teaches to deny sin, and live a holy conversation: and these also cast away the garment of their own righteousness, it being as fig leaves, a spider's web, filthy rags, and a beggarly robe, as this man's was; and come nakedly to Christ, for righteousness, and renounce their own in point of justification, that being an hinderance to their coming to him for his. The Gospel reveals a better righteousness to them than their own, more suitable to them, who are called from the dunghill, to sit among princes, and to inherit the throne of glory; and then such rise in the strength of grace, and come forth to Christ, for righteousness, peace, pardon, life, and salvation.

Marcos 10:50 In-Context

48 Y muchos le reñían, que callara; mas él daba mayores voces: Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí

49 Entonces Jesús parándose, mandó llamarle; y llaman al ciego, diciéndole: Ten confianza; levántate, te llama

50 El entonces, echando su capa, se levantó, y vino a Jesús

51 Y respondiendo Jesús, le dice: ¿Qué quieres que te haga? Y el ciego le dice: Maestro, que reciba la vista

52 Y Jesús le dijo: Ve, tu fe te ha salvado. Y luego recibió la vista, y seguía a Jesús en el camino
