What does Mark 10:13-14 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Mark"s account of this incident is very similar to Matthew"s. However, Mark alone noted that Jesus became indignant when He learned that the disciples were discouraging those who were bringing the children (Gr. paidia) to Him. This is another indication of the evangelist"s interest in Jesus" humanity (cf. Mark 1:25; Mark 1:41; Mark 1:43; Mark 3:5; Mark 7:34; Mark 8:12; Mark 9:19). Jesus had formerly commanded His disciples not to forbid the exorcist who cast out demons in Jesus" name ( Mark 9:39). The disciples were abusing their authority by excluding some people from coming to Jesus: those outside their circle, and those regarded generally as unimportant.
