SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:40
Mas que os sentéis a mi diestra y a mi siniestra, no es mío darlo, sino a quienes está aparejado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 10:40
Verse 40. Is not mine to give] See on Matt. xx. 23.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 40. But to sit on my right hand and on my left, is mine to give , etc..] There being no such places in his kingdom in the sense they petitioned; and as for the glories of the heavenly state or eternal life, the gift of these was not to be settled now it being done already: and though he had a power to give yet only to them who were given him of his Father and who were ordained to such happiness as it follows: but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared ; that is, of his Father as is expressed in ( Matthew 20:23) which is not to be understood as excluding these two persons but as including all others with them for whom the kingdom was prepared before the foundation of the world: the Ethiopic version therefore wrongly renders the words “but to sit on my right hand and on my left, I do not give to you, it is prepared for other”: the Jew very badly concludes from hence against the deity of Christ and his unity with the Father he not having power to do this; whereas Christ does not say he had no power to give this honour, but only describes the persons to whom he should give it; and these being persons for whom it, is prepared by his Father instead of destroying, proves their unity.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 32-45 - Christ's going on with his undertaking for the salvation of mankind was, is, and will be, the wonder of all his disciples. Worldly honou is a glittering thing, with which the eyes of Christ's own disciple have many times been dazzled. Our care must be, that we may have wisdo and grace to know how to suffer with him; and we may trust him to provide what the degrees of our glory shall be. Christ shows them tha dominion was generally abused in the world. If Jesus would gratify all our desires, it would soon appear that we desire fame or authority, an are unwilling to taste of his cup, or to have his baptism; and shoul often be ruined by having our prayers answered. But he loves us, an will only give his people what is good for them.
