Mark 10
1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judaea and beyond Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
Then he arose and came into the confines of Judea, through the country upon the Jordan. Again multitudes resorted to him; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.
2 And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? tempting him.
And some Pharisees came, who, to try him, asked him, Is it lawful for the husband to divorce his wife?
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
He answering, said to them, What precept has Moses given you on this subject?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
They replied, Moses has permitted us to write her a bill of divorcement, and dismiss her.
5 But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
Jesus answering, said to them, Because of your untractable disposition, Moses gave you this permission.
6 But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them.
But from the beginning, at the creation, God made them a male and a female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife,
8 and the twain shall become one flesh: so that they are no more twain, but one flesh.
and they two shall be one flesh. They are, therefore, not longer two, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
What then God has conjoined, let no man separate.
10 And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter.
And, in the house, his disciples asked him anew concerning this matter.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her:
He said to them, Whosoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her;
12 and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.
and if a woman divorce her husband, and marry another, she commits adultery.
13 And they brought unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.
Then they brought children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Jesus perceiving this, was offended, and said, Allow the children to come to me, do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
Indeed, I say to you, whosoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall never enter it.
16 And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.
Then taking them up in his arms, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
17 And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
As he went out into the road, one came running to him, who, kneeling, asked him, Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, [even] God.
Jesus answered, Why do you call me good? God alone is good.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.
Do you know the commandments? Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not give false testimony; do no injury; honor your father and mother.
20 And he said unto him, Master, all these things have I observed from my youth.
The other replied, Rabbi, I have observed all these from my childhood.
21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one thing, nevertheless, you are deficient. Go, sell all that you have, and give the price to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, and follow me, carrying the cross.
22 But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.
But he was troubled at this answer, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Then Jesus looking around him, said to his disciples, How difficult it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
The disciples were astonished at his words; but Jesus resuming the discourse, said, Children, how difficult is it for them, who confide in wealth, to enter the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
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.
26 And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved?
At this they were still more amazed, and said one to another, Who then can be saved?
27 Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
Jesus looking upon them, said, To men it is impossible, but not to God; for to God all things are possible.
28 Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Then Peter took occasion to say, As for us, we have forsaken all, and followed you.
29 Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake,
Jesus answering, said, Indeed, I say to you, there is none who shall have forsaken his his house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, for my sake and the gospel's;
31 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.
But many shall be first, who are last, and last, who are first.
32 And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him,
As they were on the road to Jerusalem, Jesus walking before them, a panic seized them, and they followed him with terror. Then taking the twelve aside, he told them again what would befall him.
33 [saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles:
Behold, says he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him to the Gentiles,
34 and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.
who will mock him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him; but the third day he shall rise again.
35 And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, accosted him, saying, Rabbi, we beg you would grant us what we purpose to ask.
36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
He said to them, what would you have me grant you?
37 And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on [thy] left hand, in thy glory.
They answered, That when you shall have attained your glory, one of us may sit at your right hand, and the other at your left.
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
Jesus replied, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I am to drink; and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo?
39 And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
They answered, We can. Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink such a cup, as I am to drink, and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo;
40 but to sit on my right hand or on [my] left hand is not mine to give: but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared.
but to sit at my right hand, and left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is appointed.
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.
The ten hearing this, conceived indignation against James and John.
42 And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.
But Jesus having called them together, said to them, You know that those who are accounted the princes of the nations, domineer over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them;
43 But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister:
but it must not be so amongst you. On the contrary, whosoever would be great amongst you, shall be your servant;
44 and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all.
and whosoever would be the chief, shall be the slave of all.
45 For verily the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side.
Then they came to Jericho. Afterward, as he was departing thence, with his disciples, and a great crowd, blind Bartimeus, son of Timeus, who sat by the way-side begging,
47 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.
hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, cried, saying, Jesus Son of David, have pity upon me!
48 And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Many charged him to be silent, but he cried still the louder, Son of David, have pity upon me!
49 And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee.
Jesus stopping, ordered them to call him. Accordingly they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage; arise, he calls you.
50 And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
Then throwing down his mantle, he sprang up, and went to Jesus.
51 And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.
Jesus addressing him, said, What do you wish me to do for you? Rabboni, answered the blind man, to give me my sight.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way.
Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. Immediately he recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
