Mark 10
1 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.
On leaving that place Jesus came into the borders of Judea, on the other side of the Jordan, Once more the people flocked about him, and again, as usual, he began teaching them.
2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
Presently some Pharisees came up and tested him, by asking if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife.
3 He answered, "What did Moses command you?"
"What did Moses command you?" he replied,
4 They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."
"Moses," said they, "permitted a man to draw up a bill of separation and divorce her."
5 But Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.
But Jesus said to them. "Moses gave you that command because of the hardness of your hearts;
6 But from the beginning of the creation, he made them male and female.
but from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,
"For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh;
8 and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
so that they are no more two, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
10 In the house, the disciples asked him again about the same matter.
When indoors the disciples began to question Jesus again about this, and he said.
11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
"Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
12 If she herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery."
and if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
Now people were bringing little children to Jesus for him to touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 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.
Jesus was indignant when he saw it, and said. "Let the little children come to me. Do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such.
15 Truly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
I tell you true that unless a man receives the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not even enter it."
16 And he took them in his arms, laying his hands on them, and blessed them.
Then he took them in his arms, and laid his hand upon them in blessing.
17 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 g166)
As he started to go forth into the road, a man came running up to him, and knelt down before him. "Good Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
Jesus said to him. "Why do you call me ‘good’? No one is good save one, God himself.
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.'"
You know the commandments. Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat, honor your father and mother."
20 And he said to him, "Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth."
"Teacher," he answered, "I have observed all these from my youth."
21 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."
Jesus loved him as he looked at him, and said. "One thing you lack. Go, sell all you have and give to the poor; and you shall have wealth in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
But his face fell at these words, and he went away saddened, for he was one who had great wealth.
23 Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God."
Then Jesus looked round on his disciples and said, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!"
24 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.
The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus looked around and said again to them.
25 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."
"My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
26 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"
"Then who can be saved?" they said to themselves astonished beyond measure.
27 Jesus, looking at them, said, "With humans it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
28 Peter began to tell him, "Look, we have left everything, and have followed you."
"But we," Peter began to say, "we have left our all and have followed you."
29 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,
"I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel’s,
31 But many who are first will be last; and the last first."
But many who are first shall be last, and the last, first."
32 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.
They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus led the way; and they were amazed, and some, although they followed, were afraid. Then once more he took the Twelve, and began to tell them what was about to befall him.
33 "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.
"See," said he, "we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be betrayed to the high priests and the Scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles,
34 They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. After three days he will rise again."
who will mock him, spit upon him, flog him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again."
35 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."
Presently there came up to him Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee, and said, "Teacher, we wish you would do for us whatever we ask you."
36 He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"What is it you want me to do for you?" said he.
37 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."
They answered, "Allow us to sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left hand, in your 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, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
"You know not what you are asking," said Jesus. "Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
39 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;
They answered him, "We can." "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized,
40 but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared."
but a seat upon my right hand or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been reserved."
41 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.
When they heard this the ten began to be indignant at Jamesand John, so Jesus called them to him and said.
42 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.
"You know that those who are regarded as rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make them feel their authority.
43 But it will not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.
Not so shall it be among you. On the contrary whoever would become great among you shall be your servant;
44 And whoever wants to be first among you must be slave of all.
and whoever among you would be first, shall be slave of all,
45 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."
and justly, for even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life, a ransom for many."
46 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.
Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.
47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began shouting and saying, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!"
48 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he shouted all the louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
and many kept rebuking him and telling him to be quiet, but he only shouted much louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
49 Jesus stood still, and said, "Call him." They called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up. Get up. He is calling you."
Then Jesus stood still, saying, "Call him." So they called the blind man, and said, "Courage, rise, he is calling you."
50 He, casting away his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
The man threw off his cloak, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.
51 Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rabboni, that I may see again."
"What do you want me to do?" said Jesus, addressing him. And the blind man answered, "O Rabboni, that I might receive my sight!"
52 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.
"Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.
