2 And Pharisees coming to [him] asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? (tempting him).
But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him urgently, and to make him speak of many things; watching him, [and seeking] to catch something out of his mouth, [that they might accuse him].
but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment that if any one knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might take him.
The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs.
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take him.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him.
(for I hate putting away, saith Jehovah the God of Israel;) and he covereth with violence his garment, saith Jehovah of hosts: take heed then to your spirit, that ye deal not unfaithfully.
And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him.
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and [of] the leaven of Herod.
And the Pharisees went out and began to dispute against him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
And the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming to [him], asked him, tempting [him], to shew them a sign out of heaven.
But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
It has been said too, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a letter of divorce. But *I* say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whosoever marries one that is put away commits adultery.

Chapter 10
In this chapter, we have,
Mar 10:1-12
Our Lord Jesus was an itinerant Preacher, did not continue long in a place, for the whole land of Canaan was his parish, or diocese, and therefore he would visit every part of it, and give instructions to those in the remotest corners of it. Here we have him in the coasts of Judea, by the further side of Jordan eastward, as we found him, not long since, in the utmost borders westward, near Tyre and Sidon. Thus was his circuit like that of the sun, from whose light and heat nothing is hid. Now here we have him,

Moses tells us,
Mar 10:13-16
It is looked upon as the indication of a kind and tender disposition to take notice of little children, and this was remarkable in our Lord Jesus, which is an encouragement not only to little children to apply themselves to Christ when they are very young, but to grown people, who are conscious to themselves of weakness and childishness, and of being, through manifold infirmities, helpless and useless, like little children. Here we have,

This passage of story agrees with that, Mt. 20:29, etc. Only that there were told of two blind men; here, and Lu. 18:35, only of one: but if there were two, there was one. This one is named here, being a blind beggar that was much talked of; he was called Bartimeus, that is, the son of Timeus; which, some think, signifies the son of a blind man; he was the blind son of a blind father, which made the case worse, and the cure more wonderful, and the more proper to typify the spiritual cures wrought by the grace of Christ, on those that not only are born blind, but are born of those that are blind.
