John Mark
Mark 10:27KJV·traditional attribution
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
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.

Commenting on Mark 10:17-31
John Gill Reformed Baptist
Christ teaches plainly what man cannot do; He does not soften the blow by flattery or encourage false hope. The impossibility stands firm and unrelenting. Only in God's power, without measure or exception, does salvation find its way.
