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 he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judea, by the further side of Jordan: and the people resort to him again; and, as he was accustomed, he taught them again.
2 Then some Pharisees approached to test Him and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife?”
And the Pharisees came to him, and 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?”
And he answered and 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 suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away.
5 Jesus answered and said to them: “It was due to your hardness of heart that he wrote you this precept.
And Jesus answered and said to them, For the hardness of your heart, he wrote you this precept.
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 shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 and the two will be turned into one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh.
And they two shall be one flesh: so then they are no more two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man separate.
10 When they were in the house again, His disciples asked Him about the same subject.
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same [matter].
11 So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;
And he saith to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 and if a woman divorces her husband and gets married to another, she commits adultery.”
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth 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 young children to him, that he should touch them; and [his] 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 when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me, and 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, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, he shall not enter it.
16 And taking them in His arms and laying His hands on them, He blessed them.
And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them, and 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 when he had gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, 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.
And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none 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, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother.
20 In answer he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since I was young.”
And he answered and said to him, Master, all these have I observed 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.”
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 But he was dismayed at the suggestion and went away sorrowing, because he had many possessions.
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great 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 looked around, and saith to his disciples, How hardly 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 astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith to them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to 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 astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, Who then 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.”
And Jesus looking upon them, saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Then Peter began to say to Him, “So, we have left all and followed you.”
Then Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, 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 answered and said, Verily I say to you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
31 But many first will be last, and last first.”
But many [that are] 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 went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should 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;
[Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles;
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 will mock him, and will scourge him, and will spit upon him, and will kill him: and the third day he will 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 James and John the sons of Zebedee come to him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatever we shall desire.
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.”
They said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other 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?”
But Jesus said to 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 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 can. And Jesus said to them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of: and with the baptism that I am baptized with shalt ye be baptized;
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 and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
41 Well when the ten heard it they began to be indignant with James and John.
And when the ten heard [it], they began to be much displeased with 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 called them, and saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles, exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43 But it must not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant,
But so it shall not be among you: but whoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 and whoever desires to be your number one must be slave of all.
And whoever of you will be the chief, shall be servant 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 even the son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to 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 came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great number of people, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the highway-side 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 when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, [thou] son of David, 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 charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, [Thou] 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 stood still, and commanded him to be called: and they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 Tossing off his cloak, he got up and went to Jesus.
And he, casting away his garment, rose, 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 answered and said to him, What wilt thou that I should do to thee? The blind man said to him, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
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 hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
