Commentary

Commentary on Mark 9:50

Theological / Devotional

Salt is good. See on Matt. 5:13.

Have salt in yourselves. If the disciples had the “salt of the covenant” (Lev. 2:13) it would restrain the unfortunate tendencies that had led to the discussion of who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Have peace. A fitting climax to the discourse, an admonition to refrain from further argument on the subject, a warning against jealousy and the spirit of rivalry.
