John Mark
Mark 10:22ASV·traditional attribution
But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.
John Gill Reformed Baptist
And Jesus looked round about,.... To see what effect the discourse he had with the young man, and the consequence of it, had upon his disciples; as also to raise their attention to what he was about, to say: and saith unto his disciples, how hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
Mark shows us what earnest seeking looks like: the man ran, knelt, and spoke weightily about eternal life, no shame, no delay, no private conference in darkness. He laid aside his ruler's dignity to learn from Christ, and his haste itself proved he meant business with his soul.
