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 having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching 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 near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,
3 “What did Moses command you?” He replied.
and he answering 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 suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'
5 But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
6 However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'
10 When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,
11 So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
and he saith to them, 'Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
and if a woman may put away her husband, and is 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 were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking 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.
and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign 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 say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child — he may not enter into it;'
16 And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands upon them, he was blessing 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 is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, 'Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?' (aiōnios g166)
18 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except 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.’”
the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.'
20 “Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”
And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep 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.”
And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, 'One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast — sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'
22 But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
And he — gloomy at the word — went away sorrowing, for he was having many 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 having looked round, saith to his disciples, 'How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign 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 answering saith to them, 'Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign 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 through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'
26 They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, '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, having looked upon them, saith, '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.”
And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we 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 answering said, 'Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',
31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
and many 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 having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things 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,
— 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations,
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 shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and 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.”
And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, 'Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;'
36 “What do you want Me to do for you?” He inquired.
and he said to them, 'What do ye wish 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 to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit 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, 'Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with — to be 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, 'Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall 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 and on my left, is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared.'
41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased 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 having called them near, saith to them, 'Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do 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 not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,
44 and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.
and whoever of you may will to become first, he 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 even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, 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 come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus — Bartimaeus the blind — was sitting beside the way 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 having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, 'The Son of David — Jesus! deal kindly with 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 were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with 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 having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, 'Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;'
50 Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.
and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.
51 “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”
And answering, Jesus saith to him, 'What wilt thou I may do to thee?' and the blind man said to him, 'Rabboni, that I may see again;'
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 saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
