< Mark 10 >

1 Then He set out from there and came into the borders of Judea, by way of the other side of the Jordan. Again, crowds gathered to Him, and as was His custom, He began to teach them once more.
And rising up thence he comes into the coasts of Judaea, and the other side of the Jordan. And again crowds come together to him, and, as he was accustomed, again he taught them.
2 Then some Pharisees approached to test Him and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife?”
And Pharisees coming to [him] asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? (tempting him).
3 So in answer He said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
But he answering said to them, What did Moses command you?
4 They said, “Moses permitted one to write a certificate of divorce and to put away.”
And they said, Moses allowed to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.
5 Jesus answered and said to them: “It was due to your hardness of heart that he wrote you this precept.
And Jesus answering said to them, In view of your hard-heartedness he wrote this commandment for you;
6 But from the beginning of creation, God made them a male and a female.
but from [the] beginning of [the] creation God made them male and female.
7 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be united to his wife,
8 and the two will be turned into one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh.
and the 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.”
What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
10 When they were in the house again, His disciples asked Him about the same subject.
And again in the house the disciples asked him concerning this.
11 So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;
And he says to them, Whosoever shall put away his wife and shall marry another, commits adultery against her.
12 and if a woman divorces her husband and gets married to another, she commits adultery.”
And if a woman put away her husband and shall marry another, she commits adultery.
13 People started bringing little children to Him, that He might touch them; so the disciples started rebuking those doing the bringing.
And they brought little children to him that he might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those that brought [them].
14 But when Jesus saw it He was indignant and said to them: “Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, because the Kingdom of God is made up of such.
But Jesus seeing [it], was indignant, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me; forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child does will certainly not enter it.”
Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.
16 And taking them in His arms and laying His hands on them, He blessed them.
And having taken them in his arms, having laid his hands on them, he blessed them.
17 As Jesus set out on the road, someone came running up, knelt before Him and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do that I may inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to [him], and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 So Jesus said to Him: “Why do you call me ‘good’? No one is good except one—God.
But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, [that is] God.
19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘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 mother.
20 In answer he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since I was young.”
And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth.
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him: “One thing you lack; go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, take up the cross, and follow me.”
And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, [taking up the cross].
22 But he was dismayed at the suggestion and went away sorrowing, because he had many possessions.
But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
23 Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to get into the Kingdom of God!”
And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 But the disciples were astounded at His words. So Jesus tried again and said to them: “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God.
And the disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is actually easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye 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 enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Then they were totally astonished, saying to each other, “Who then can be saved?”
And they were exceedingly astonished, saying to one another, And who can be saved?
27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; because all things are possible with God.”
But Jesus looking on them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.
28 Then Peter began to say to Him, “So, we have left all and followed you.”
Peter began to say to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
29 In answer Jesus said: “I tell you assuredly, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields, for my sake and for that of the Gospel,
Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, [or wife], or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,
30 who will not receive a hundred times more, now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and father and mother and children and fields (with persecutions)—and in the age to come, eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
that shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time: houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the coming age life eternal. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 But many first will be last, and last first.”
But many first shall be last, and the last first.
32 Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going ahead of them; this surprised them, and as they followed they started to be afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that were about to happen to Him:
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them; and they were amazed, and were afraid as they followed. And taking the twelve again to [him], he began to tell them what was going to happen to him:
33 “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of the Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him over to the Gentiles;
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him up to the nations:
34 and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”
and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Him and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we may ask.”
And there come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying [to him], Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us.
36 So He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 They said to Him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and one at your left, in your glory.”
And they said to him, Give to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38 But Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
And Jesus said to them, Ye do not know what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup which I drink, or be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?
39 They said to Him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them: “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that I drink ye will drink and with the baptism that I am baptised with ye will be baptised,
40 but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to grant, but is for whom it has been prepared.”
but to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give, but for those for whom it is prepared.
41 Well when the ten heard it they began to be indignant with James and John.
And the ten having heard [of it], began to be indignant about James and John.
42 But Jesus summoned them and said to them: “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
But Jesus having called them to [him], says to them, Ye know that those who are esteemed to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them; and their great men exercise authority over them;
43 But it must not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant,
but it is not thus among you; but whosoever would be great among you, shall be your minister;
44 and whoever desires to be your number one must be slave of all.
and whosoever would be first of you shall be bondman of all.
45 For even the Son of the Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
For also the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many.
46 They came to Jericho. Then as He was going out from Jericho, with His disciples and a large crowd, the blind Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting by the roadside begging.
And they come to Jericho, and as he was going out from Jericho, and his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind [man], sat by the wayside begging.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Natsorean, he began to call out and say, “O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!”
And having heard that it was Jesus the Nazaraean, he began to cry out and to say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me.
48 Many started telling him to shut up, but he started calling out even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 So Jesus stood still and said to call him. Then they called the blind man, saying to him: “Courage! Get up! He's calling you!”
And Jesus, standing still, desired him to be called. And they call the blind [man], saying to him, Be of good courage, rise up, he calls thee.
50 Tossing off his cloak, he got up and went to Jesus.
And, throwing away his garment, he started up and came to Jesus.
51 Jesus reacted by saying to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabouni, that I may see again!”
And Jesus answering says to him, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And the blind [man] said to him, Rabboni, that I may see.
52 So Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has healed you.” And immediately he could see, and followed Jesus on the road.
And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way.
