What Does Mark 10:1 Mean?
A new stage of the story begins. Jesus departs the north and travels toward Judaea by the far side of the Jordan, the route pilgrims took toward Jerusalem for the feasts. As soon as he arrives, the familiar scene resumes: the people resort to him, and he teaches.
Mark notes that teaching was his custom, the steady habit of his life. The road that will end at the cross is walked one faithful day at a time, and Jesus spends those days giving people the word of God. He still receives all who resort to him.
