The New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible Mark 10:22
And, he was sad at that saying…
That he lacked one
thing, and especially that he should be bid to sell all that he had,
and give it away; and what might add to his sadness is, that he must
take up the cross of reproach, affliction, persecution, and death;
his countenance fell upon this,
and went away grieved:
finding that he must part with two things his
heart was set upon, his idol of self-righteousness, and his mammon
of unrighteousness; the bladder of his pride was pricked, and his
vanity and self-conceit were exposed; and he was called upon to part
with his substance; all which were sadly mortifying, and exceedingly
disagreeable to him:
for he had great possessions; (See Gill on 19:22).
