Mark 10
1 Then Jesus left that place and went into the region of Judea, beyond the Jordan. Again the crowds came to Him and He taught them, as was His custom.
Rising up thence He comes into the coasts of Judea, through the region beyond the Jordan; and the multitudes again come to Him, and, as was His custom, He again taught them.
2 Some Pharisees came to test Him. “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” they inquired.
And the Pharisees having come forward asked Him, If it is lawful for a man to send away his wife? tempting Him.
3 “What did Moses command you?” He replied.
And He responding said to them, What did Moses command you?
4 They answered, “Moses permitted a man to write his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
And they said, Moses permitted to write a book of divorcement, and to send her away.
5 But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
Jesus said to them, On account of the hardness of your heart he wrote this commandment to you.
6 However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
On this account a man shall leave his father and his mother,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
and they two shall be one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
And what God joined together, let no man separate.
10 When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
And His disciples again around Him in the house asked Him. And He says to them,
11 So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
Whosoever may send away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery unto her.
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
And if she having sent away her husband, may marry another, she commits adultery.
13 Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
And they continued to bring little children to Him, that He should touch them: but the disciples rebuked those bringing them.
14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
But Jesus seeing was displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Truly, I say unto you, Whosoever may not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, can not enter into it.
16 And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
And taking them up in His arms, putting His hands on them, He continued to bless them copiously.
17 As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
And He traveling along the road, one having run to Him and worshiping Him, asked Him, Good Teacher, what shall I do in order that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good but One, God.
19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat others, honor your father and mother.’”
You know the commandments, thou must not commit adultery, thou must not murder, thou must not steal, thou must not bear false witness, thou must not defraud, honor thy father and mother.
20 “Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”
And he said to Him, Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth.
21 Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
Jesus looking on him loved him, and said to him, One thing is wanting to thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22 But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
And he being grieved at the word, went away sorrowing: for he had great possessions.
23 Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
And Jesus looking around, says to His disciples; How hardly shall those having riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
And the disciples were astonished at His words, and Jesus again responding, says to them, Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God.
26 They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”
And they were astonished exceedingly, saying to one another, And who is able to be saved?
27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
And Jesus looking upon them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
28 Peter began to say to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.”
Peter began to say to Him, Behold, we have left all things, and followed thee.
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel
Jesus said, Truly I say unto you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, on account of me and the gospel,
31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
But many who are first shall be last; and the last first.
32 As they were going up the road to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him:
And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and following they were afraid. And taking the twelve to Himself, again He began to tell them the things which were about to happen to Him;
33 “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and they will deliver Him to the Gentiles:
34 who will mock Him and spit on Him and flog Him and kill Him. And after three days He will rise again.”
and they will mock Him, and will scourge Him, and will spit upon Him, and will kill Him; and He will rise the third day.
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and declared, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to Him, saying, Teacher, we wish that you may do unto us whatsoever we may ask.
36 “What do you want Me to do for you?” He inquired.
And He said to them, What do you wish for me to do for you?
37 They answered, “Grant that one of us may sit at Your right hand and the other at Your left in Your glory.”
And they said to Him, Grant unto us, that we may sit, one on thy right, and one on thy left, in thy glory.
38 “You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I will drink, or be baptized with the baptism I will undergo?”
And Jesus said to them, You know not what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I drink? and to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?
39 “We can,” the brothers answered. “You will drink the cup that I drink,” Jesus said, “and you will be baptized with the baptism that I undergo.
And they said to Him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink the cup which I drink, and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized:
40 But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”
but to sit on my right, and on my left, is not mine to give, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.
41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
And the ten hearing, began to be indignant concerning James and John.
42 So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
And Jesus calling them to Him, says to them: You know that those seeming competent to rule the Gentiles domineer over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 But it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
But it is not so among you: but whosoever may wish to be great among you, shall be your servant:
44 and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.
and whosoever of you may wish to be first, shall be the slave of all:
45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
for the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His soul a ransom for many.
46 Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.
And they come into Jericho: and He and His disciples and a great multitude going out from Jericho, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, was sitting by the wayside, begging.
47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
And hearing that it is Jesus the Nazarene, began to cry out, and say, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
48 Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
And many continued to rebuke him that he should keep silent: but he continued to cry out much more, O son of David, have mercy on me.
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”
And Jesus standing, said, that he should be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Take courage: rise up, He calls you.
50 Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.
And he, casting away his cloak, rising, came to Jesus.
51 “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”
And Jesus responding said to him, What do you wish that I shall do to you? And the blind man said to Him, Great Master, that I may look up.
52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
And Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath saved thee: and immediately he looked up, and followed Jesus in the way.
