Mark 10:2

Φαρισαῖοι ([2112][2113][2114][2115][2116]) rather than οἱ Φαρ. ([2117][2118][2119][2120][2121] ἐπηρώτων ([2122][2123][2124][2125][2126][2127][2128]) rather than ἐπηρώτησαν ([2129][2130][2131][2132][2133]).

2. Φαρισαῖοι. No art.; see crit. note. It is not implied that they are the same Pharisees as those who assailed Him previously (Mark 2:16; Mark 7:1; Mark 8:11). But all do what is customary; multitudes throng Him, He teaches them, Pharisees attack Him. [2424] and Syr-Sin, omit the approach of the Pharisees, leaving the ὅχλοι as nom. to ἐπηρώτων.

πειράζοντες αὐτόν. They perhaps had heard that He condemned divorce (Matthew 5:31-32), which was recognized by the Law, and they hoped to get Him committed to a clear contradiction of the Law. And possibly they wished to embroil Him with Antipas, who had divorced his wife in order to marry Herodias; but this is less probable.
