In the Gospel of Mark, houses often serve as places of deeper teaching and revelation (e.g., <a href="/mark/7-17.htm">Mark 7:17, 9</a>:28). The setting of a house may symbolize the church or the community of believers where deeper truths are revealed. It also reflects the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry, where He often used homes as places of rest and teaching.<p><b>the disciples asked Jesus</b><br>The disciples frequently sought clarification from Jesus in private, demonstrating their role as learners and followers who desired a deeper understanding of His teachings. This reflects the rabbinic tradition where disciples would ask their teacher questions to gain insight. It also highlights the disciples' ongoing struggle to comprehend the radical nature of Jesus' message, particularly regarding issues like marriage and divorce, which were culturally and religiously significant topics in Jewish society.<p><b>about this matter</b><br>The "matter" refers to Jesus' teaching on marriage and divorce, which He had just addressed publicly (<a href="/mark/10-2.htm">Mark 10:2-9</a>). This was a contentious issue in Jewish law, with different schools of thought, such as those of Hillel and Shammai, offering varying interpretations. Jesus' teaching emphasized the sanctity and permanence of marriage, aligning with the creation narrative in <a href="/genesis/2-24.htm">Genesis 2:24</a>.
