Context — Jesus Blesses Little Childrengenerated
Mark 10:13 describes how people were bringing little children to Jesus so that He could bless them by laying His hands on them. However, the disciples, perhaps thinking they were protecting Jesus' time or dignity, rebuked those who were bringing the children. This moment highlights the contrast between Jesus' openness to children and the disciples' misunderstanding of His mission.

The Key Word — προσέφερον, prospherōgenerated
The verb προσφέρω means 'to bring to' or 'to offer,' indicating the act of leading or presenting something to someone. In this context, it signifies the action of the people bringing their children to Jesus.
The imperfect tense indicates ongoing action, suggesting that this was a common occurrence as people sought Jesus' blessing for their children. This term reflects the desire of the community to connect their children with Jesus' healing and blessing.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the verse uses bringing to describe the action of the people. Other translations like the KJV and ASV also use brought while the YLT and WEB maintain the present continuous were bringing.
The translations generally agree on the core elements of the verse, though some variations exist in the rendering of παιδία as either little children or simply children.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is προσέφερον, they were bringing, which governs the action of the sentence. The structure includes an infinitive phrase indicating purpose, a prepositional phrase describing the indirect object, and a participial phrase that details the action of the disciples.
The sentence is complex, with multiple clauses that illustrate the actions of the people and the response of the disciples. The main action revolves around bringing children to Jesus, while the disciples' rebuke serves as a contrasting response.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The verb προσφέρω is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew word for 'approach' or 'come near', often in the context of offerings or sacrifices, indicating a significant cultural understanding of bringing something to God.
This connection enriches the understanding of the act of bringing children to Jesus as not just a physical action but one with spiritual implications, reflecting a desire to present the innocent and vulnerable to the divine.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Mark 10:13 tells us that people were bringing little children to Jesus so He could bless them. However, the disciples rebuked those who were bringing the children. This shows a misunderstanding of Jesus' welcoming nature, as He desires to bless and embrace even the youngest among us.

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

προσφέρω is a verb meaning 'to bring to' or 'to offer,' often in the context of presenting gifts or sacrifices to God. It combines the elements of bringing something near and offering it, applicable in various contexts such as offerings in worship (e.g., Matthew 2:11) and dealing with others (Hebrews 12:7). The word appears frequently in the New Testament and is rooted in both classical and biblical Greek.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

παιδίον (paidion) is a neuter diminutive of παῖς and refers to a young child or infant. It can denote both very young children and older children, as well as being used metaphorically for immature Christians. The New Testament frequently uses it in contexts involving children, such as in Matthew 2:8 and John 21:5, where it can also serve as a term of endearment.

The blessing of offspring, but especially of the male sex, is highly valued among all eastern nations, while a the absence is regarded as one of the severest punishments. (Genesis 16:2; 7:14; 1 Samuel 1:6; 2 Samuel 6:23; 2 Kings 4:14; Isaiah 47:9; Jeremiah 20:15; Psalms 127:3,5) As soon as the child was born it was washed in a bath, rubbed with salt and wrapped in swaddling clothes. (Ezekiel 16:4; Job 38:9; Luke…
A numerous offspring was regarded as a signal blessing, Ps 127:3-5, and childless wives sought various means to escape the reproach of barrenness, which was deprecated in the blessing given to a newly married couple, Ru 4:11. The pangs of childbirth, in their suddenness and sharpness, are often alluded to in Scripture. The apostle Paul speaks of them as fruits and evidences of the fall; but assures those who abide in faith, that, amid all the suffering that reminds them that woman was first in the transgression, Ge 3:16, they may yet look trustfully to God for acceptance and salvation, 1Ti 2:15.

The Greek word ἵνα is primarily a conjunction meaning 'in order that' or 'that,' indicating purpose or intention. It can also function as an adverb of place, meaning 'where' or 'whither.' In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, often introducing clauses that express purpose, such as in Matthew 1:22. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings or usages.
ἵνα, I. an adv. of Place. fr. Hom. down, esp. in the poets; a. where; in what place. b. to what place; whither. Of the former signification C. F. A. Fritzsche (on Mt. p. 836; differently in Fritzschiorum Opusce. p. 186 sqq-.) thought he had found two examples in bibl. Greek, and H. A. W. Meyer agrees with him. The first viz. iva μὴ φυσιοῦσθε, 1 Co. iv. 6, they explain thus: where (i. e. in which state of things viz. when ye have leatned from my example to think humbly of yourselves) the one is not exalted to the other’s disadvantage; the second, iva αὐτοὺς ζηλοῦτε, Gal. iv. 17, thus: where ye zealously court them; but see II. 1 d. below. “ iva I. a final Conjunction (for from local direction, indicated by the adverb, the transition was easy te mental direction or intention) denoting pur pose and end: to the intent that; to the end that, in order that; ἵνα pn, that not, lest; it is used…

It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word ἅπτω, transliterated as hapto, primarily means 'to fasten to' and is often used in the context of kindling or lighting a fire. It can also denote clinging to or laying hold of something, and has applications in various contexts, including physical touch, sexual relations, and ceremonial prohibitions. In the New Testament, it appears in several passages, notably relating to healing and interaction with others.

Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word μαθητής (i.e., *mathetes*) means a learner or disciple, derived from the verb for learning, μανθάνω (*manthanō*). It refers primarily to a follower of a teacher, especially in the context of Jesus and his twelve apostles, but also applies to early Christians generally. The term appears frequently in the New Testament, notably in Matthew and Acts.

The Greek word ἐπιτιμάω (i.e., *epitimao*) is built from the prefix ἐπι- and the root τιμάω. It covers a range of meanings including to honor, to raise in price, and primarily to censure or rebuke. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts where Jesus admonishes or rebukes, such as in Matthew 19:13 and Luke 23:40.
OnE may ‘rebuke’ another without bringing the rebuked to a conviction of any fault on his part; and this, either because there was no fault, and the rebuke was therefore unneeded or unjust; or else because, though there was such fault, the rebuke was ineffectual to bring the offender to own it; and in this possibility of ‘rebuking’ for sin, without ‘ convincing’ of sin, lies the distinction between these two words. In ἐπιτιμᾶν lies simply the notion of rebuking ; which word can therefore be used of one unjustly checking or blaming another; in this sense Peter ‘began to rebuke’ his Lord (ἤρξατο ἐπιτιμᾶν, Matt. xvi. 22; cf. xix. 13; Luke xviii. 39):—or ineffectually, and without any profit to the person rebuked, who is not thereby brought to see his sin; as when the penitent robber ‘rebuked ’ (ἐπετίμα) his fellow malefactor (Luke xxiii. 40; cf. Mark ix. 25). But ἐλέγχειν is a much more…

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

προσφέρω is a verb meaning 'to bring to' or 'to offer,' often in the context of presenting gifts or sacrifices to God. It combines the elements of bringing something near and offering it, applicable in various contexts such as offerings in worship (e.g., Matthew 2:11) and dealing with others (Hebrews 12:7). The word appears frequently in the New Testament and is rooted in both classical and biblical Greek.

48 occurrences in the New Testament, rendered 29 different ways. The commonest English word for it is not its meaning — it is one translator's decision, repeated.
Parsing tells you the form; the treebank tells you the job. Counted over all 46 occurrences — a word inside a phrase counts towards whatever that phrase is doing.

branches are dictionary forms, so endings do not split one phrase into five; the number on a branch is how many times the New Testament takes that path
