Marc 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).

Marc 10:16 In-Context

14 Et Jésus ayant vu cela, en fut indigné, et il leur dit: Laissez venir à moi les petits enfants, et ne les en empêchez point; car le royaume de Dieu est pour ceux qui leur ressemblent.
15 Je vous dis en vérité, que quiconque ne recevra pas le royaume de Dieu comme un petit enfant, n'y entrera point.
16 Et les ayant pris entre ses bras, il leur imposa les mains et les bénit.
17 Et comme ils sortaient pour se mettre en chemin, un homme accourut, et, s'étant mis à genoux devant lui, lui demanda: Bon Maître, que dois-je faire pour hériter de la vie éternelle?
18 Jésus lui dit: Pourquoi m'appelles-tu bon? Personne n'est bon, sauf Dieu seul.
