Mark Study Notes—Chapter 10

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 10:13
  
  young children: The children may have been of varying ages, since the Greek word here rendered “young children” is used not only of newborns and infants (Mt 2:8; Lu 1:59) but also of Jairus’ 12-year-old daughter (Mr 5:39-42). However, in the parallel account at Lu 18:15, which describes Jesus’ interaction with this group of young ones, Luke uses a different Greek word, one that refers only to very small children, or infants.—Lu 1:41; 2:12.
