< Mark 10 >
1 AND arising, he went from thence into the coasts of Judea, through the country on the other side of the Jordan; and again the multitudes came together unto him; and as his custom was, he again taught them.
He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Crowds came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.
2 And the Pharisees coming to him, put a question to him, Is it lawful for a husband to put away his wife? tempting him.
Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
3 He answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
He answered, "What did Moses command you?"
4 They said, Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.
They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."
5 Then Jesus answering said unto them, For the hardness of your hearts he wrote you that ordinance.
But Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.
6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female;
But from the beginning of the creation, he made them male and female.
7 and said, For this cause shall a man forsake father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife;
For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,
8 and they two shall be one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.
and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath yoked together, let no man separate.
What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
10 And in the house the disciples again asked him of this matter.
In the house, the disciples asked him again about the same matter.
11 And he said unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her:
He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
12 and if a wife put away her husband, and marrieth another, she committeth adultery.
If she herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery."
13 And they brought unto him little children, that he should touch them: but his disciples rebuked those who brought them.
They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he felt indignation, and said to them, Permit little children to come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me. Do not forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in nowise enter into it.
Truly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
16 And he took them in his arms, and laying his hand upon them, gave them his benediction.
And he took them in his arms, laying his hands on them, and blessed them.
17 And as he went out to the road, a person ran to him, and kneeling down, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios )
As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do that I may inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios )
18 Then said Jesus unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, even God.
Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery; Do not murder; Do not steal; Do not bear false witness; Honour thy father and mother.
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.'"
20 Then he replying, said, Master, all these things have I observed from my youth.
And he said to him, "Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth."
21 Then Jesus looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one thing thou art defective: go, sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up thy cross, and follow me.
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; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."
22 And groaning over this speech, he went away sorrowful: for he had many estates.
But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looking round, said to his disciples, How difficultly shall they who have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God."
24 Then his disciples were astonished at these words. But Jesus again addressing them, said unto them, Children, how difficult is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter 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 into the kingdom of God.
It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
26 And they were exceedingly amazed, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"
27 And Jesus looking upon them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Jesus, looking at them, said, "With humans it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
28 And Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
Peter began to tell him, "Look, we have left everything, and have followed you."
29 Then Jesus in reply said, Verily I say unto you, there is no man who hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake and the Gospel’s,
Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel,
30 who shall not receive an hundred-fold more now, at this very time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecution, and in the world to come life everlasting. (aiōn , aiōnios )
but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come, everlasting life. (aiōn , aiōnios )
31 But many first, will be last; and the last, first.
But many who are first will be last; and the last first."
32 And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was advancing before them: and they were astonished; and followed him full of fear. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall him:
They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
33 For, lo! said he, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles:
"Look, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to foreigners.
34 and they will insult him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. After three days he will rise again."
35 And James and John the sons of Zebedee came to him, saying, Master, we desire that thou shouldst do for us whatsoever we request.
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."
36 He said unto them, What will ye that I should do for you?
He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
37 They say unto him, Grant us to sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy glory.
They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."
38 Then Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup which I drink? and be baptised with the baptism with which I am baptised?
But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
39 And they said unto him, We are able. Then said Jesus unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup of which I drink; and be baptised with the baptism with which I am baptised:
And they said to him, "We are able." And Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
40 but to sit on my right-hand, and on my left, is not mine to give; but to those for whom it is prepared.
but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared."
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant against James and John.
When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.
42 But Jesus called them, and said to them, Ye know that they who appear to rule over the Gentiles, lord it over them; and their great men exercise dominion over them.
Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 But it shall not be so with you: but whosoever will be great among you let him be your servant:
But it will not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.
44 and whosoever will be first, let him be the servant of all.
And whoever wants to be first among you must be slave of all.
45 For the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to be a servant, and to give his life a ransom for many.
For the Son of Man also did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
46 And they came to Jericho. And as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great multitude, Bartimeus, the blind, the son of Timeus, sat by the road-side begging:
They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.
47 and hearing that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he began to cry out, and say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!
When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
48 And many chid him, that he should be silent: but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me!
Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he shouted all the louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
49 And Jesus stood still, and ordered him to be called: and they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up, arise; he calleth thee.
Jesus stood still, and said, "Call him." They called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up. Get up. He is calling you."
50 Then casting off his cloak, he arose, and came to Jesus.
He, casting away his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
51 And Jesus addressing him, said, What dost thou wish that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight!
Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may see again."
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received sight, and followed Jesus in the road.
Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight, and followed him on the road.
