What Does Mark 10:36 Mean?
Jesus does not sign the blank check; he asks them to name the desire: What would ye that I should do for you? It is the very question he will ask a blind beggar at the end of this chapter, with a very different answer coming back.
God deals with us by drawing our real desires into the light, where they can be examined, taught, and transformed. The question is not ignorance but invitation. Jesus treats even misguided askers with patient dignity, and he is not afraid of what we want.
