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.
And He arose from thence and came into the coasts of Judea, through the country beyond Jordan: and the people resorted to Him again; and, as He was wont, He taught them again.
2 Some Pharisees came to test Him. “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” they inquired.
And the pharisees came to Him and asked Him, "if it were lawful for a man to put away his wife," tempting Him.
3 “What did Moses command you?” He replied.
And he answered and said unto 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 a man to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.
5 But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
And Jesus replied, He wrote this precept on account of your cruel tempers:
6 However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
but from the beginning of the world, God created them male and female.
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
Therefore let not man separate what God hath joined together.
10 When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
And when they were in the house his disciples asked Him again about it:
11 So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
and He told them, Whoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
And if a woman be divorced from her husband, and be married to another, she committeth 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 brought to Him little children that He might touch them: and the disciples rebuked those that brought 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.
Which Jesus observing, was much displeased, and said to them, Let the children come to me; and hinder 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.”
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall by no means enter into it.
16 And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
And He took them in his arms, and put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
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 as he went out into the way, there came one running and kneeling to Him, and asked Him, Good master, what shall I do, 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 unto him, Why dost thou call me good? there is none good, but one, that is 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.’”
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and thy mother.
20 “Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”
And he answered and said unto Him, Master, all these have I kept 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.”
Then Jesus looked upon him with affection, and said to him, One thing thou wantest; go, sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross and follow me.
22 But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
But he was sad at that saying, and went away sorrowful; 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 round about saith to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have 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. But Jesus repeating it, saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them, that trust in riches, 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 pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”
And they were exceedingly amazed, saying one to another, Who then can 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.”
But Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.
28 Peter began to say to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.”
Then Peter said to Him, Behold we have left all, 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
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
But many that 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 went before them: and they were amazed at it, and afraid to follow Him. And again taking the twelve aside, He began to tell them what things should befal 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,
saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and 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 insult Him, and scourge Him, and spit upon Him, and put Him to death: but on the third day He shall rise again.
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.”
Then come to Him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, Master, we desire that thou wouldest do for us what we shall request:
36 “What do you want Me to do for you?” He inquired.
and He said to them, What do ye desire 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.”
they said unto Him, Grant that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other 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?”
But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup, that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
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, We can. And Jesus said unto them, The cup indeed which I drink, ye shall drink of; and with the baptism, that I am baptized with, shall ye be 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 hand and on my left, is not mine to give, but for whom it is prepared.
41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at 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.
But Jesus called them to Him, and said unto them, Ye know that those who rule among the Gentiles, lord it over them, and their grandees exercise authority upon 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 shall not be so among you: but whoever would be great among you shall be your minister;
44 and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.
and whoever of you would be first shall be servant 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 ministred unto, but to minister and to give his life 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 came to Jericho: and as He was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side 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 was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou 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 rebuked him, that he might hold his peace: but he cried out so much the more, Thou son of David, have pity 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 stopt, and ordered him to be called: so they called the blind man, and said to him, Be of good courage, rise up, He calleth thee.
50 Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.
And he threw off his outer garment, and arose, and 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 said to him, What dost thou desire that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to Him, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way, thy faith has cured thee. And he immediately recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
