< Mark 10 >
1 And having risen from there, he comes into the borders of Judea through the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes come together to him again, and, as he has practiced, he taught them again.
On leaving that place Jesus came into the borders of Judea, on the other side of the Jordan, Once more the people flocked about him, and again, as usual, he began teaching them.
2 And the Pharisees having approached, they demanded of him if it is permitted for a man to divorce a wife, testing him.
Presently some Pharisees came up and tested him, by asking if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife.
3 And having answered, he said to them, What did Moses command you?
"What did Moses command you?" he replied,
4 And they said, Moses permitted to write a document of divorce, and to divorce her.
"Moses," said they, "permitted a man to draw up a bill of separation and divorce her."
5 But having answered, Jesus said to them, For your hard heart he wrote for you this commandment.
But Jesus said to them. "Moses gave you that command because of the hardness of your hearts;
6 But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
but from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 Because of this a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife,
"For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh;
8 and the two will be in one flesh. So then they are no more two, but one flesh.
so that they are no more two, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.
What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
10 And in the house the disciples questioned him again about the same thing.
When indoors the disciples began to question Jesus again about this, and he said.
11 And he says to them, Whoever may divorce his wife, and will marry another, commits adultery against her.
"Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
12 And if a woman should divorce her husband, and will be married to another, she commits adultery.
and if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
13 And they brought children to him, so that he would touch them. And the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
Now people were bringing little children to Jesus for him to touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was displeased, and said to them, Allow the children to come to me. Forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.
Jesus was indignant when he saw it, and said. "Let the little children come to me. Do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such.
15 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, he will, no, not enter it.
I tell you true that unless a man receives the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not even enter it."
16 And having embraced them, while laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
Then he took them in his arms, and laid his hand upon them in blessing.
17 And as he was going forth on the way, one man having ran to him, and having knelt to him, questioned him, Good teacher, what should I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios )
As he started to go forth into the road, a man came running up to him, and knelt down before him. "Good Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios )
18 And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
Jesus said to him. "Why do you call me ‘good’? No one is good save one, God himself.
19 Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not testify falsely. Thou shall not defraud. Thou shall honor thy father and mother.
You know the commandments. Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat, honor your father and mother."
20 And having answered, he said to him, Teacher, all these things I have observed from my youth.
"Teacher," he answered, "I have observed all these from my youth."
21 And having looked at him, Jesus loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lack. Go thou, sell as many things as thou have, and give to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And after taking up the cross, come, follow me.
Jesus loved him as he looked at him, and said. "One thing you lack. Go, sell all you have and give to the poor; and you shall have wealth in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 But having become somber at the saying, he went away sorrowing, for he was a man who has many possessions.
But his face fell at these words, and he went away saddened, for he was one who had great wealth.
23 And Jesus having looked around, he says to his disciples, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
Then Jesus looked round on his disciples and said, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!"
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But again having answered, Jesus says to them, Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God.
The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus looked around and said again to them.
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
"My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
26 And they were exceedingly astonished, saying among themselves, Then who can be saved?
"Then who can be saved?" they said to themselves astonished beyond measure.
27 And having looked at them, Jesus says, With men, impossible, but not with God. For with God all things are possible.
When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
28 Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
"But we," Peter began to say, "we have left our all and have followed you."
29 And having answered, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of me, and because of the good news,
"I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel’s,
30 but he will receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands-with persecutions-and in the coming age, eternal life. (aiōn , aiōnios )
but shall receive a hundred times as much, now in this present world, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands-and persecutions with them - and in the world to come eternal life. (aiōn , aiōnios )
31 But many first will be last, and the last first.
But many who are first shall be last, and the last, first."
32 And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And again having summoned the twelve, he began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus led the way; and they were amazed, and some, although they followed, were afraid. Then once more he took the Twelve, and began to tell them what was about to befall him.
33 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scholars. And they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
"See," said he, "we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be betrayed to the high priests and the Scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles,
34 And they will mock him, and will scourge, and will spit upon him, and will kill him. And the third day he will rise.
who will mock him, spit upon him, flog him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again."
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Teacher, we wish that thou would do for us whatever we ask.
Presently there came up to him Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee, and said, "Teacher, we wish you would do for us whatever we ask you."
36 And he said to them, What do ye want me to do for you?
"What is it you want me to do for you?" said he.
37 And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one at thy right hand, and one at thy left hand, in thy glory.
They answered, "Allow us to sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left hand, in your glory."
38 But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye are asking. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? And to be immersed the immersion that I am immersed?
"You know not what you are asking," said Jesus. "Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
39 And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, Ye will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and the immersion that I am immersed ye will be immersed.
They answered him, "We can." "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized,
40 But to sit at my right hand or at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.
but a seat upon my right hand or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been reserved."
41 And when the ten heard it they began to indignant about James and John.
When they heard this the ten began to be indignant at Jamesand John, so Jesus called them to him and said.
42 And having summoned them, Jesus says to them, Ye know that those who presume to rule over the Gentiles, lord over them, and their great men have power over them.
"You know that those who are regarded as rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make them feel their authority.
43 But it is not so among you. Instead, whoever may want to become great among you, will be your helper,
Not so shall it be among you. On the contrary whoever would become great among you shall be your servant;
44 and whoever of you may want to become first, will be a bondman of all.
and whoever among you would be first, shall be slave of all,
45 For the Son of man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
and justly, for even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life, a ransom for many."
46 And they come to Jericho. And as he went out from Jericho, and his disciples and a considerable crowd, Bartimaeus, the blind son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road begging.
Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began shouting and saying, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!"
48 And many rebuked him, that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
and many kept rebuking him and telling him to be quiet, but he only shouted much louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
49 And having stood still, Jesus said for him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up. Arise, he calls thee.
Then Jesus stood still, saying, "Call him." So they called the blind man, and said, "Courage, rise, he is calling you."
50 And he, having thrown off his garment, having risen, came to Jesus.
The man threw off his cloak, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.
51 And having answered, Jesus says to him, What do thou want I would do to thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.
"What do you want me to do?" said Jesus, addressing him. And the blind man answered, "O Rabboni, that I might receive my sight!"
52 And Jesus said to him, Go thou, thy faith has healed thee. And straightaway he received his sight, and followed him on the way.
"Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.
