What Does Mark 10:50 Mean?
The beggar's outer cloak was likely his shelter, his bedding, and the place where alms were gathered, yet he casts it away so that nothing slows him. He rises and comes to Jesus with empty hands.
Here is a quiet contrast with the man of great possessions earlier in the chapter: the rich man could not leave his much; the beggar abandons his little without a second thought. Receiving the kingdom like a child looks exactly like this, unencumbered and unhesitating.
