1. Mark 10:10 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Did the first question also come from the disciples?

Mark 10:10 (ESV)

10 And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.

It is incorrect, in view of the word again (palin), to suggest that the first question also came from the disciples so that the mentioning of the Pharisees in 10:2 must be considered secondary.1 It is not the questioners who come for the second time, but the subject is again tabled—now from the side of the disciples.2
