With the opening of Mark 10, Jesus deals with the subject of marriage and divorce. At first, it may seem like He has changed the subject because before this He was talking about how in His kingdom, the one who leads is the one who serves others. But actually, by taking about marriage, Jesus is going to the very foundation of where service and devotion begin in a society—in marriage.
What we truly are is not what we are in public, where we can put on a false face, but what we are at home. The truth is, when a population is selfish at home, their public actions and decisions, though they pretend to be otherwise, will also be selfish. So Jesus is intent, in the training of the twelve, to set forth clearly to them God's beautiful intention of marriage. Godliness in marriage is a fundamental aspect of greatness as a disciple in His kingdom.
