Mark 10
1 And, from thence, arising, he cometh into the bounds of Judaea and beyond the Jordan, —and there come together again, multitudes unto him, and, as he had been wont, again, was he teaching them.
And rising up, he went from there into the area of Judea beyond the Jordan. And again, the crowd came together before him. And just as he was accustomed to do, again he taught them.
2 And Pharisees coming near were questioning him—whether it is allowed a husband to divorce a wife, testing him.
And approaching, the Pharisees questioned him, testing him: “Is it lawful for a man to dismiss his wife?”
3 But, he, answering, said unto them—What unto you did, Moses, command?
But in response, he said to them, “What did Moses instruct you?”
4 And, they, said—Moses permitted, to write, a roll of dismissal, and to divorce.
And they said, “Moses gave permission to write a bill of divorce and to dismiss her.”
5 But, Jesus, said unto them—In view of your hardness of heart, wrote he for you this commandment;
But Jesus responded by saying: “It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you.
6 But, from the beginning of creation, male and female, made he [them];
But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
7 For this cause, shall a man leave behind his father and mother,
Because of this, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife.
8 and, the two, shall become, one flesh; so that, no longer, are they two, but, one flesh.
And these two shall be one in flesh. And so, they are now, not two, but one flesh.
9 What then, God, hath yoked together, let, a man, not put asunder.
Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.”
10 And, [coming] into the house again, the disciples, concerning this, were questioning him;
And again, in the house, his disciples questioned him about the same thing.
11 and he saith unto them—Whosoever shall divorce his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her;
And he said to them: “Whoever dismisses his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
12 And, if, she, divorcing her husband, marry another, she committeth adultery.
And if a wife dismisses her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery.”
13 And they were bringing unto him children, that he might, touch, them, —the disciples, however, were rebuking them.
And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them.
14 But Jesus, seeing it, was greatly displeased, and said unto them—Suffer the children to come unto me, —do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.
But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: “Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily, I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.”
16 And, folding them in his arms, he was blessing them, having laid his hands upon them.
And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
17 And, as he was going forth into a road, one, running, and kneeling before him, was questioning him—Good Teacher! what shall I do that, life age—abiding, I may inherit? (aiōnios g166)
And when he had departed on the way, a certain one, running up and kneeling before him, asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do, so that I may secure eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
18 And, Jesus, said unto him—Why callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
But Jesus said to him, “Why call me good? No one is good except the one God.
19 The commandments, thou knowest, —Do not commit murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal; Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.
You know the precepts: “Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not speak false testimony. Do not deceive. Honor your father and mother.”
20 And, he, said unto him—Teacher! all these things, have I kept, from my youth.
But in response, he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.”
21 And, Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said unto him—One thing, unto thee, is wanting; —Withdraw! whatsoever thou hast, sell, and give unto [the] destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come! be following me.
Then Jesus, gazing at him, loved him, and he said to him: “One thing is lacking to you. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”
22 And, he, becoming gloomy because of the word, departed sorrowing, for he was holding, many possessions.
But he went away grieving, having been greatly saddened by the word. For he had many possessions.
23 And, looking around, Jesus saith unto his disciples—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God!
And Jesus, looking around, said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!”
24 And, the disciples, were in amazement, because of the words. But, Jesus, again answering, saith unto them—Children! how difficult, it is, to enter, into the kingdom of God!
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus, answering again, said to them: “Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is, easier, for a camel, through the eye of a needle, to pass, than for, a rich man, into the kingdom of God, to enter.
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God.”
26 And, they, were being exceedingly struck with astonishment, saying unto him—Who, then, can, be saved?
And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, “Who, then, can be saved?”
27 Looking at them, Jesus saith—With men, impossible, but not, with God; for, all things, are possible, with God
And Jesus, gazing at them, said: “With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible.”
28 Peter began to be saying unto him—Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee!
And Peter began to say to him, “Behold, we have left all things and have followed you.”
29 Jesus said—Verily, I say unto you—There is, no one, who hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me, and [for the sake of] the glad-message,
In response, Jesus said: “Amen I say to you, There is no one who has left behind house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake and for the Gospel,
31 But, many, shall be—first-last, and [the] Last-first.
But many of the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”
32 Now they were in the way, going up unto Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them, —and they were in amazement; and, they who followed, were in fear. And, taking unto himself, again, the twelve, he began to be saying unto them, as to the things about to befall him—
Now they were on the way ascending to Jerusalem. And Jesus went ahead of them, and they were astonished. And those following him were afraid. And again, taking aside the twelve, he began to tell them what was about to happen to him.
33 Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up, unto the Chief-priests and the Scribes, —and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up unto the nations;
“For behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be handed over to the leaders of the priests, and to the scribes, and the elders. And they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles.
34 And they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and, slay; —and, after three days, will he, arise.
And they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death. And on the third day, he will rise again.”
35 And there come near unto him, James and John, the [two] sons of Zebedee, —saying unto him—Teacher! we desire, that, whatsoever we shall ask thee, thou wilt do for us.
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, drew near to him, saying, “Teacher, we wish that whatever we will ask, you would do for us.”
36 But, he, said unto them—What desire ye, I should do for you?
But he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 And, they, said unto him—Grant us, that, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, we may sit, in thy glory.
And they said, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory.”
38 But, Jesus, said unto them—Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup that, I, am to drink? or to be immersed, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed?
But Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice from which I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?”
39 And, they, said unto him—We are able. And, Jesus, said unto them—The cup which, I, am to drink, ye shall drink, and, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed, shall ye be immersed;
But they said to him, “We can.” Then Jesus said to them: “Indeed, you shall drink from the chalice, from which I drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism, with which I am to be baptized.
40 But, to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except unto them for whom it hath been prepared.
But to sit at my right, or at my left, is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 And the ten, hearing, began to be sorely displeased, concerning James and John.
And the ten, upon hearing this, began to be indignant toward James and John.
42 And Jesus, calling them near, saith unto them—Ye know that, they who think to rule the nations, lord it over them, and, their great ones, wield authority over them;
But Jesus, calling them, said to them: “You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them.
43 But, not so, it is, among you. But, whosoever desireth to become, great, among you, shall be, your minister,
But it is not to be this way among you. Instead, whoever would become greater shall be your minister;
44 And, whosoever desireth, among you, to be, first, shall be, servant of all;
and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all.
45 For, even the Son of Man, came not to be ministered unto, but minister, —and to give his life, a ransom instead of many.
So, too, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many.”
46 And they come into Jericho. And, as he was journeying forth from Jericho, and his disciples, and a considerable multitude, the son of Timaeus, blind Bar-Timaeus, a beggar, was sitting beside the road.
And they went to Jericho. And as he was setting out from Jericho with his disciples and a very numerous multitude, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind man, sat begging beside the way.
47 And, hearing that it was, Jesus the Nazarene, he began to be crying aloud, and saying—O Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me.
And when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and to say, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me.”
48 And many were rebuking him, that he might hold his peace; but, he, so much the more, was crying aloud, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
And many admonished him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, take pity on me.”
49 And, coming to a stand, Jesus said—Call him! And they call the blind man, saying unto him—Take courage! rise! he calleth thee!
And Jesus, standing still, instructed him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him: “Be at peace. Arise. He is calling you.”
50 And, he, throwing off his mantle—springing to his feet, came unto Jesus.
And casting aside his garment, he leapt up and went to him.
51 And, answering him, Jesus said—What desirest thou, I should do for thee? And, the blind man, said unto him—Rabboni! that may recover sight.
And in response, Jesus said to him, “What do you want, that I should do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Master, that I may see.”
52 And, Jesus, said unto him—Go thy way! thy faith, hath saved thee. And, straightway, he recovered sight, and was following him in the road.
Then Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has made you whole.” And immediately he saw, and he followed him on the way.
