36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
36 "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
36 And he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
36 "What is it? I'll see what I can do."
36 And He said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
36 "What is your request?" he asked.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 10:36
Commentary on Mark 10:32-45
(Read Mark 10:32-45)
Christ's going on with his undertaking for the salvation of mankind, was, is, and will be, the wonder of all his disciples. Worldly honour is a glittering thing, with which the eyes of Christ's own disciples have many times been dazzled. Our care must be, that we may have wisdom and grace to know how to suffer with him; and we may trust him to provide what the degrees of our glory shall be. Christ shows them that dominion was generally abused in the world. If Jesus would gratify all our desires, it would soon appear that we desire fame or authority, and are unwilling to taste of his cup, or to have his baptism; and should often be ruined by having our prayers answered. But he loves us, and will only give his people what is good for them.
