Study Lenses

The verse centers on "threwe", "away", "cloke", "rose", "came", and "iesus". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "threwe" and "away", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 49's "Then Iesus stood still and commanded him..." into verse 51's "And Iesus answered and said vnto him...", so "threwe" and "away" belong inside that flow. In Mark context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "threwe" and "away" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
