Lesson 41: Mark 10
Introduction
Near the end of His mortal ministry,
the Savior ministered to those in Perea. While there, He taught the doctrine of
marriage and invited little children to come unto Him. The Savior also
admonished a rich young ruler to sell all his possessions and follow Him. As
the Savior left Perea and made His way to Jerusalem for the last time in
mortality, He foretold His death and Resurrection and counseled His Apostles to serve others. He
also healed a blind man at Jericho.
I.
Mark 10:1–16
Jesus teaches the doctrine of marriage and invites little children to
come to Him
---Show students several pictures of
young children.
- What qualities or characteristics do you admire about your younger brothers or sisters or other young children you know? (List students’ responses on the board.)
---Look for a truth as we study Mark 10:1–16 that teaches us why we should become
like little children.
---Near the end of the Savior’s
ministry, He left Galilee and went to an area called Perea. (You may want to
invite students to locate Perea on the handout “Mortal Life of Jesus Christ at a Glance” [see
lesson 5] or on Bible Maps, no. 11, “The Holy Land in New Testament Times.”)
---Mark 10:1–12 says that while in Perea, the Savior
taught the people about the importance of marriage.
- How did the disciples react when the people brought young children to the Savior? (Explain that the word rebuked in verse 13 indicates that the disciples told the people they were wrong to bring their children to the Savior.)
- How did the Savior respond to the disciples?
---Read Mark 10:15–16
and look for what the Savior taught His disciples as the little children came
to Him.
---The phrase “receive the kingdom
of God” in verse 15 refers to receiving the gospel.
- What do you think it means to receive the gospel “as a little child”? (verse 15). (Write students’ responses on the board, and compare them with the items already listed on the board.)
- What principle can we learn from these verses about what will happen as we receive the gospel like little children? (Students may identify multiple truths, but make sure it is clear that as we receive the gospel like little children, we will be prepared to enter God’s kingdom.)
- In what ways does receiving the gospel like little children prepare us to enter God’s kingdom? (To help students answer this question, you may want to refer them to Mosiah 3:19.)
II.
Mark 10:17–34
The Savior admonishes a rich young ruler to sell his possessions and
follow Him
---Read Mark 10:17–20 and look for what happened after
the Savior blessed the little children.
- How would you describe the man who came to Jesus? Why?
- What did the man ask the Savior? How did Jesus respond?
---Matthew 19 also contains the account of this
man coming to the Savior.
---Read Matthew 19:20
and listen for how the man responded after the Savior listed some of the
commandments.
- After acknowledging that he kept all the commandments, what question did the young man ask the Savior? (You may want to suggest that students mark the young man’s question.)
---Write the following question on
the board:
---What
lack I yet?
- What did the Savior tell the young man he still lacked?
---Notice the phrase “Jesus
beholding him loved him” in verse 21. Mark this phrase in your
scriptures.
- Why do you think it is important to know that Jesus loved this young man before He told him what he lacked?
- What principles can we learn from this account? (Students may identify several principles, including the following: Because He loves us, the Lord will help us know what we lack in our efforts to follow Him. If we ask the Lord, He will teach us what we need to do to inherit eternal life.)
---Read Mark 10:22 silently,
looking for how the young man reacted when the Savior counseled him to sell all
that he had.
- How did the young man react?
- According to verse 22, why did he react that way?
---While we may not be asked to give
up great riches to follow the Lord, He has asked us to make other sacrifices to
serve Him and obey His commandments.
- What are some sacrifices the Lord has asked of us that may be difficult to make?
- What blessings might we fail to receive if we choose not to follow the Lord in all things?
---Read Mark 10:23–27
aloud. Ask the student to replace the appropriate part of verse 27 with the Joseph
Smith Translation excerpt found in Mark 10:27, footnote a. Ask the class to
follow along, looking for what Jesus taught about leaving all for His sake.
- Why do you think it is so hard for those who trust in riches or other worldly things to enter the kingdom of God?
- What do you think it means that all things are possible for those who trust in God?
---Read Mark 10:28–31
aloud. Ask the student to replace verse 31 with the Joseph Smith Translation
excerpt found in Mark 10:31, footnote a. Ask the class to
follow along, looking for what Peter said after the Savior taught that we
should be willing to give up whatever He requires of us.
- According to verse 28, what did Peter say?
- What did the Savior promise to those who are willing to give up everything to follow Him?
- What principle can we learn from the Savior’s teachings about what we must do to receive eternal life? (Students may use different words, but make sure they identify the following principle: To receive eternal life, we must be willing to give up whatever the Lord requires of us. Write this principle on the board.)
- Why is eternal life worth any sacrifice we are asked to make on earth? (You may want to remind students that eternal life includes living forever in God’s presence with our righteous family members.)
---In Mark 10:32–34 the Lord told His disciples that
after they arrived in Jerusalem He would be mocked, scourged, spit upon, and
killed and that He would rise again on the third day.
- How is the Savior a perfect example of being willing to give up whatever God requires?
---Testify of the truths that have
been taught in this lesson. Encourage students to prayerfully ponder the
question “What lack I yet?” and obey any promptings they may receive concerning
sacrifices the Lord would like them to make.
III.
Mark 10:35–52
The Savior foretells His death and Resurrection and counsels His
Apostles to serve others
---Divide students into small
groups. Provide each group with a copy of the following handout, and invite
them to complete it:
Who
Is the Greatest?
Complete this handout as a group,
and discuss your answers to the questions.
List some activities you enjoy: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Name some individuals who are truly great at performing the activities you listed above. What makes them great?
As you continue to study the
Savior’s words in Mark 10, look for what He taught about what
makes a person truly great.
Read Mark 10:35–37, looking for what James and John
asked of the Savior as they traveled toward Jerusalem.
James and John’s request to sit at
the Savior’s right and left hand implied that they wanted to receive more glory
and honor in God’s kingdom than the other Apostles would receive. Mark 10:38–40 records that the Savior explained
to James and John that this blessing would be given to those who were prepared
to receive it.
Read Mark 10:41, looking for how the other disciples
responded to James and John’s request.
- Why do you think the other disciples were displeased with James and John?
Read Mark 10:42–45, looking for what the Savior taught
His disciples about greatness.
Complete the following statement
based on what the Savior taught about true greatness:
To be truly great, we must ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
In verse 45, the word minister means to provide
care, comfort, aid, and support for others.
- Why would someone who serves and ministers to others (like the Savior) be considered truly great?
- When has someone served and cared for you or your family? Why might you consider that person truly great?

---After students have completed the
handout, invite several to report how they completed the statement based on Mark 10:42–45. Students may use other words, but
they should identify the following principle: To be truly great, we must follow
the Savior’s example by serving others.
---Mark 10:46–52 says that as the Savior and His
Apostles were leaving Jericho to journey to Jerusalem, a blind man named
Bartimaeus cried out for the Savior to heal him. The crowd told Bartimaeus to
be quiet, but he cried out even louder. The Savior heard his cry, had
compassion on him, and healed him. (Note: The account of Bartimaeus’s healing
will be taught in greater detail in the lesson for Luke 18.)
- How is the Savior a perfect example of the principle He taught about ministering to others?
---Share your testimony that the
Savior is truly great because of the way He ministers to Heavenly Father’s
children. Invite students to think about what they can do to serve and care for
those around them. Encourage them to set a goal that will help them serve and
minister to others.
Commentary
and Background Information
Mark
10:17–22. The rich young ruler
Elder Neal A. Maxwell of the
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught that we need to actively do good rather
than merely refrain from sin in order to be valiant disciples of the Savior:
“It is very often the sins of
omission that keep us from spiritual wholeness because we still lack certain
things. Remember the rich, righteous young man who came to Jesus asking, ‘Good
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’ …
“A customized commandment thus came
for that man [see Matthew 19:21–22]. It was something he needed to
do, not something he needed to stop doing, that kept him from wholeness” (“The
Pathway of Discipleship” [Brigham Young University fireside, Jan. 4,
1998], 4, speeches.byu.edu).
Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught that the rich young ruler lost privileged
blessings because he wasn’t willing to follow the Lord in all things:
“We might well ask, ‘Isn’t it enough
to keep the commandments? What more is expected of us than to be true and
faithful to every trust? Is there more than the law of obedience?’
“In the case of our rich young
friend there was more. He was expected to live the law of consecration, to
sacrifice his earthly possessions. …
“As you know, the young man went
away sorrowful. … And we are left to wonder what intimacies [closeness] he
might have shared with the Son of God, what fellowship he might have enjoyed
with the apostles, what revelations and visions he might have received, if he had
been able to live the law of a celestial kingdom” (“Obedience, Consecration, and Sacrifice,” Ensign,
May 1975, 51).
Mark
10:25. “Easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle”
“Some have asserted that the eye of
the needle was a small door in the Jerusalem city wall, requiring a camel to be
stripped of its load in order to enter. There is no evidence that such a door
ever existed. Others have proposed that altering one letter in the Greek text
would change the scripture to mean that a rope, not a camel, would have to pass
through the eye of a needle. However, when Jesus
Christ referred to a camel passing through the eye of a needle, it
was likely an example of hyperbole, an intentional exaggeration to teach ‘that
a rich man shall hardly [with difficulty] enter into the kingdom of heaven’ (Matthew 19:23). The Joseph
Smith Translation adds, ‘With men that trust in riches, it is
impossible; but not impossible with men who trust in God and leave all for my
sake, for with such all these things are possible’ (Joseph Smith Translation,
Mark 10:26 [in Mark 10:27, footnote a])” (New Testament
Student Manual [Church Educational System manual, 2014], 63).
Mark
10:38–39. “Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?”
“Elder Bruce R. McConkie
explained that the phrase ‘drink of the cup’ was ‘a metaphorical expression
meaning, “To do the things which my lot in life requires of me.”’ He explained
that the phrase ‘be baptized with the baptism
that I am baptized with’ means ‘to follow my course, suffer persecution, be
rejected of men, and finally be slain for the truth’s sake’ (Doctrinal New
Testament Commentary, 1:566). By asking the questions, ‘Can ye drink of the cup
that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?’ (Mark 10:38), the Savior refocused the attention
of James and John on carrying out the Father’s will, rather than on receiving
glory and honor” (New Testament Student Manual [Church Educational System
manual, 2014], 126).
Mark
10:45. “The Son of man came … to minister”
President Ezra Taft Benson testified
that Jesus Christ is the perfect model of greatness:
“That man [or woman] is greatest and
most blessed and joyful whose life most closely approaches the pattern of the
Christ. This has nothing to do with earthly wealth, power, or prestige. The
only true test of greatness, blessedness, joyfulness is how close a life can
come to being like the Master, Jesus Christ” (“Jesus Christ: Gifts and Expectations,” Ensign,
Dec. 1988, 2).

Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles discusses the
decision of rugby player Sidney Going to serve a full-time mission. This video

Lesson 42: Mark 11–16
Introduction
Near the end of His mortal ministry,
the Savior observed a poor widow cast two mites into the temple treasury.
Later, while at dinner in Bethany, Mary anointed Jesus in token of His burial.
The Savior suffered in Gethsemane. He was tried and condemned to die. After He
died on the cross and was resurrected, the Lord appeared to His Apostles and
commissioned them to take the gospel to the world.
I.
Mark 11–13
The Savior teaches at the temple and observes a widow cast mites into
the temple treasury
---Read the following scenarios
aloud, and ask students to listen for the differences between the offerings
presented to the Lord in each scenario.
- A woman gave her bishop a very large sum of money as a fast offering. Another woman who lives in the same ward gave a very small amount to her bishop as a fast offering.
- A man serves as a stake president. Another man in the same stake serves as a primary teacher.
- What differences did you notice in the offerings given in each scenario?
- How might a person feel if his or her offering to the Lord appears small when compared to the offerings of others?
---Look for truths as we study Mark 11–14 that will help you know how the Lord
views your offerings to Him.
---Mark 11:1–12:40 tell us that as the Savior neared
the end of His mortal ministry, He rode triumphantly into Jerusalem, cleansed
the temple, and taught the people there. Remind students that in an attempt to
discredit the Savior, the Pharisees and scribes asked Him difficult questions
while He taught in the temple. After the Savior responded to their questions,
He denounced the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and scribes (see Matthew 23).
---While Jesus was at the temple, He
witnessed individuals bringing money to the temple treasury as an offering to
God.
- What did the Savior see at the treasury?
---Show the coin with the least
value in your country’s currency, and explain that a mite was “the smallest
bronze coin used by the Jews” (Bible
Dictionary, “Money”).
- How might someone feel if they could give only two mites as an offering to God?
- What did the Savior say about the widow’s offering compared to the offerings of the others?
- Why do you think the Savior considered her offering to be “more” than the other offerings?
- Based on what the Lord said about the widow, what principle can we learn about giving to the Lord? (Students may use different words but should identify a principle similar to the following: If we are willing to give all that we have to the Lord, He will accept our offering even if it appears small in comparison to that of others.)
---In Mark 13 the Savior taught His Apostles about
the Second Coming. Remind students that they studied these teachings in Joseph Smith—Matthew.
II.
Mark 14:1–9
Mary anoints the Savior
---After the Savior taught His
disciples about the signs of His Second Coming, He left Jerusalem and went to
Bethany to the house of a man named Simon, who previously had been afflicted
with leprosy.
---Read Mark 14:3
aloud and another student to read John 12:3
aloud. Ask the class to listen for what happened to the Savior as he sat down
for dinner.
- What happened to the Savior as He sat down for dinner at Simon’s house? (Explain that the woman who anointed the Savior is Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus [see John 12:1–3].)
- How did Mary show the Savior her love and devotion?
---Mary’s act of anointing the
Savior’s head and feet with spikenard (a costly ointment) was an act of such
reverence that even kings rarely received it (see James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ, 3rd ed.
[1916], 512).
---Take turns reading aloud from Mark 14:4–9 looking for how some of the people at
the dinner reacted to what Mary did.
---We learn from John 12:4–5 that Judas Iscariot was the one who
complained about Mary’s act.
- How did Judas Iscariot react to Mary’s anointing the Savior with costly ointment?
- According to verse 5, how much was the ointment worth? (Explain that three hundred pence was about equal to the amount a common laborer could earn in a year.)
- How did the Savior respond to Judas’s criticism of Mary?
---Notice the phrase “she hath
wrought a good work on me” in verse 6. It indicates that the Savior was
pleased with what Mary had done. Also notice the phrase “she hath done what she
could” in verse 8. This implies that Mary had given
her best to the Lord.
- What truth can we learn from these verses about how the Savior feels when we give our best to Him? (Students may use different words but should identify the following principle: The Savior is pleased when we give Him our best.)
---Refer to the two scenarios that
were presented at the beginning of class. Ask students to use the truths they
identified in Mark 12 and Mark 14 to explain how the individuals in
each scenario might please the Lord.
- How might believing these truths help someone who feels that they don’t have much to give to the Lord?
- When have you seen someone give their best to the Lord?
---Invite students to consider
whether they are currently giving their best to the Lord. Encourage them to
select one aspect of their life in which they could improve and to set a goal
that would help them give their best to the Lord.
III.
Mark 14:10–16:20 Jesus begins His Atonement as He suffers in
Gethsemane for our sins; He is betrayed by Judas Iscariot and brought before
Jewish leaders
---Ask students to silently ponder
the following questions:
- Have you ever felt that no one understands you or what you are going through?
- Have you ever felt that you cannot be forgiven of your past sins?
---Look for truths as we study Mark 14 that can help someone who might have
these feelings.
---Mark 14:10–31 tells us that a few days after Mary
anointed Jesus, Jesus and the Apostles observed the Passover. Afterward, the
Savior went to the Garden of Gethsemane.
- How did the Savior feel in the Garden of Gethsemane?
---After students respond, write the
following phrases on the board:
sore amazed, very heavy, exceeding
sorrowful.
---These phrases refer to the
suffering Jesus Christ experienced as part of His Atonement.
- What do these phrases teach us about the Atonement of Jesus Christ? (After students respond, write the following truth on the board: As part of His Atonement, Jesus Christ suffered and sorrowed in the Garden of Gethsemane.)
---Take turns reading aloud from Mark 14:35–42. Ask the class to follow along,
looking for what the Savior did because of His intense suffering.
- What did the Savior do because of His intense suffering? (Help students understand that Jesus’s suffering was so severe that He asked if it were possible for Him not to experience it.)
---Write the following phrase on the
board:
Jesus Christ suffered … so that
He …
---Other scripture passages can help
us understand Jesus Christ’s suffering and why He would be willing to suffer
for us.
---Write the following references on
the board:
---Divide students into pairs, and
invite them to read the verses together, looking for what the Savior suffered
and why He suffered. Ask students to write in their class notebooks or
scripture study journals how they would complete the phrase written on the
board using what they learn in Isaiah 53:3–5 and Alma 7:11–13. (You may need to explain that the
word succor in Alma 7:12 means to hurry to give relief or to go
to someone’s aid.)
---After sufficient time, invite
several students to report how they completed the phrase. Their answers should
be similar to the following: Jesus Christ suffered our pains,
afflictions, temptations, sicknesses, infirmities, and sorrows so that He would
know how to succor us. Jesus Christ suffered for our sins so that He could blot
out our transgressions. Remind
students that the Savior’s suffering for the sins of mankind began in
Gethsemane and continued through and culminated in His Crucifixion on the
cross.
To help students feel the importance of the truth that as
part of His Atonement Jesus Christ suffered and sorrowed in the Garden of
Gethsemane, consider showing the video “Special Witness—Elder Holland” (2:38), in which
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles testifies of
the Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane. This video is available on LDS.org.
- How might knowing what the Savior suffered and why He suffered help you as you face trials, pains, and afflictions?
- When have you felt the Savior succor you in a time of pain, sickness, or sorrow?
- What feelings have you experienced as you have repented and felt your sins blotted out (or erased) through the Atonement of Jesus Christ?
---In Mark 14:43–16:20 Jesus was taken to an illegal trial before the
Sanhedrin and condemned to die. After the Savior died on the cross and was
resurrected, He appeared to His Apostles and commissioned them to take the
gospel to the world.
---You may want to conclude by
testifying of the truths you have discussed today.
Commentary
and Background Information
Mark
12:41–44. The poor widow’s mites
“The mites the widow donated to the
temple treasury were small Jewish coins called lepta (Greek for small). They
weighed about 1/2 gram (less than 1/50 of an ounce) and were worth less than a
‘farthing’ or quadran, which was the Roman coin of lowest value at the time
(see Mark 12:42).
“The fact that the widow gave ‘all
that she had’ exemplified her sincere devotion to God, in contrast to the
pretense of the scribes (see Mark 12:38–40). Elder James E. Talmage
(1862–1933) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained why the Lord
commended the widow even though her offering was a relatively small donation:
‘The rich gave much yet kept back more; the widow’s gift was her all. It was
not the smallness of her offering that made it especially acceptable, but the
spirit of sacrifice and devout intent with which she gave’ (Jesus the Christ,
3rd ed. [1916], 561–62). Elder Talmage also stated: ‘Whether it be the gift of
a man or a nation, the best, if offered willingly and with pure intent, is
always excellent in the sight of God, however poor by other comparison that
best may be’ (The House of the Lord, rev. ed. [1968], 3)” (New Testament
Student Manual [Church Educational System manual, 2014], 128–29).
Mark
14:3–9. Mary anointed Jesus
Elder James E. Talmage
explained that Mary’s actions showed her great love for Jesus:
“To anoint the head of a guest with
ordinary oil was to do him honor; to anoint his feet also was to show unusual
and signal regard; but the anointing of head and feet with spikenard, and in
such abundance, was an act of reverential homage rarely rendered even to kings.
Mary’s act was an expression of adoration; it was the fragrant outwelling of a
heart overflowing with worship and affection” (Jesus the Christ, 3rd ed.
[1916], 512).
Mark
14:32–36. The Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane
“Mark’s language bears witness of
the reality and severity of the Savior’s suffering (see Mark 14:23–36). The Greek word translated ‘sore
amazed’ in the text can refer to a range of emotions, including amazement, awe,
astonishment following great shock, and overwhelming distress. The Greek verb
translated ‘very heavy’ can mean depressed, dejected, and full of anguish or sorrow.
Together, these words depict a deep and extreme agony. The Savior said that His
soul was ‘exceedingly sorrowful unto death’ (Mark 14:34)—that is, His anguish was so intense
that He felt He was at the point of death. …
“Elder Neal A. Maxwell
(1926–2004) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles … spoke of the suffering of
the Atonement:
“‘In Gethsemane, the suffering Jesus
began to be “sore amazed” (Mark 14:33), or, in the Greek, “awestruck” and
“astonished.”
“‘Imagine, Jehovah, the Creator of
this and other worlds, “astonished”! … He had never personally known the
exquisite and exacting process of an atonement before. Thus, when the agony
came in its fulness, it was so much, much worse than even He with his unique
intellect had ever imagined! …
“‘The cumulative weight of all
mortal sins—past, present, and future—pressed upon that perfect, sinless, and
sensitive Soul! All our infirmities and sicknesses were somehow, too, a part of
the awful arithmetic of the Atonement. (See Alma 7:11–12; Isa. 53:3–5; Matt. 8:17.)’ (‘Willing to Submit,’ Ensign, May 1985, 72–73)”
(New Testament Student Manual [Church Educational System manual, 2014], 130).

Teaching Ideas
Mark
14:32. “A place which was named Gethsemane”
Explain that the Savior suffered in
the Garden of Gethsemane and that the name of this place can help us understand
some of the blessings that can come to us through the Atonement. Gethsemane
comes from an Aramaic word meaning “oil press,” and it appears that Gethsemane
was an olive orchard where olives were pressed to produce oil. If possible,
show students a picture of an oil press.
Ancient oil press
Explain that to produce olive oil,
olives must be crushed. In ancient times, the olives were first placed on a
large stone, and then a huge stone wheel was rolled on top of the olives. Then
they were spread on mats that were stacked and compressed by weights. The
intense pressure on the olives would cause the olive oil to flow out.
- How might olives in an olive press symbolize what the Savior went through as He performed the Atonement?
Explain that olive oil had many uses
in the lives of the ancient Jews. Invite a student to write the following uses
on the board as you identify them: fuel to provide light in oil lamps; cooking
oil; a condiment for salads, breads, and meats; a universal remedy; and a
treatment to cleanse and heal bruises, sores, and wounds.
- How might the uses of olive oil listed on the board symbolize some of the blessings we can receive from the Atonement of Jesus Christ?
- What principle can we learn from these uses of olive oil about the blessings can we receive from the Atonement of Jesus Christ? (As students share their answers, emphasize the following truth: Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can receive spiritual light and nourishment and be cleansed and healed.)
Invite students to testify of
experiences they have had when they received spiritual light and nourishment or
felt cleansed or healed through the Savior’s Atonement.
Mark
16:15–18. “Signs shall follow them that believe”
Invite a student to read Mark 16:15–18 aloud. Ask the class to follow
along, looking for what promise the Savior gave His Apostles when He appeared
to them after His Resurrection. Ask students to report what they
find. You may want to point out that the Savior has reiterated these promises
in our day (see D&C 84:64–75).

Teaching
about the Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane
There are three accounts of the
events that occurred in Gethsemane. The lesson for Matthew 26
focuses on the Savior’s submission to His Father’s will. The lesson for Mark 14
addresses Jesus Christ’s
suffering in Gethsemane. The lesson for Luke 22
emphasizes the extremity of His suffering. Focusing on the unique aspects of
these three accounts of the Savior’s suffering can provide students with
distinctive experiences as they study each account.
