< Mark 10 >
1 And he arose from there, and came to the border of Judaea, on the other side the Jordan. And great multitudes came to him there; and again he instructed them, as he was accustomed.
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 came to him, and, tempting him, inquired if it were lawful for a man to divorce his wife.
Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
3 He said to them: What did Moses command you?
He answered, "What did Moses command you?"
4 They said: Moses permitted us to write a bill of divorce, and send her away.
They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."
5 Jesus answered and said to them: On account of the hardness of your heart, Moses wrote you this precept.
But Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.
6 But, from the beginning, God made them a male and a female.
But from the beginning of the creation, he made them male and female.
7 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and 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. Wherefore they are not 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 conjoined, let not man separate.
What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
10 And in the house, the disciples asked him again of this matter.
In the house, the disciples asked him again about the same matter.
11 And he said to them: Whoever shall divorce his wife, and take another, committeth adultery.
He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall leave her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.
If she herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery."
13 And they brought little children to him, that he might 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 And when Jesus saw it, he was displeased; and he said to them, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those like them is the kingdom of God.
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 to you, That whoever doth not receive the kingdom of God, like a little child, shall not enter 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 laid his hand on them and blessed them.
And he took them in his arms, laying his hands on them, and blessed them.
17 And as he walked in the way, one ran and fell upon his knees, and asked him, and said: Good Teacher, what must I do, to 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 Jesus saith to him: Why callest thou me good? There is none good, but one, God.
Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments; thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not give false testimony, thou shalt not defraud; honor thy father and thy 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 And he answered, and said to him: Teacher, all these have I kept from my childhood.
And he said to him, "Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth."
21 And Jesus looked on him, and loved him, and said to him: One thing thou lackest. Go, sell all that thou possessest, and give to the poor, and there will be a treasure for thee in heaven; and take thy cross, and come after 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 he was made sad by that speech, and went away sorrowing: for he possessed great riches.
But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked upon his disciples, and said to them: How hard for those who possess wealth, to 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 And the disciples wondered at the remark. And Jesus, replied again, and said to them: My children, how hard it is, 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 enter the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter 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 wondered the more, and said among themselves: Who can obtain life!
They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"
27 And Jesus looked on them again, and said to them: With men, this is not possible, but with God it is; 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 Cephas began to say: Lo, we have left every thing, and have cleaved to thee.
Peter began to tell him, "Look, we have left everything, and have followed you."
29 Jesus answered and said: Verily I say to you, There is no man that leaveth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, for my sake, and for the sake of my tidings,
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 Good News,
30 who will not receive a hundredfold, here in the present time, houses, and brothers and sisters, and mothers and children, and lands, with persecution; and in the world to come eternal life. (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 are first, who will be last; and last, who will be first.
But many who are first will be last; and the last first."
32 And as they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem, Jesus went before them: and they were amazed, and walked after him with trembling. And he took his twelve, and began to tell them what was 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 Behold, we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and the Scribes; and they will condemn him to die, and will deliver him over 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 mock him, and will scourge him, and will spit in his face, and will kill him; and on the third day he will arise.
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, and said to him: Teacher, we desire that thou wouldst do for us all that we ask.
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 saith to them: What would ye, that I should do for you?
He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
37 They say to him: Grant to us, that one may sit 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 But he said to them: Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup, of which I drink? and to be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with?
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 They say to him: We are able. Jesus saith to them: The cup that I drink, ye will drink, and the baptism that I am baptized with, ye will be baptized with:
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 that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine o give, except 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 murmur against James and John.
When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.
42 And Jesus called them, and said to them: Ye know, that they who are accounted chiefs of the nations, are their lords; and their great men have authority 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 among you: but he that would be great among you, must be a servitor to you.
But it will not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.
44 And he of you that would be first, must be servant to every one.
And whoever wants to be first among you must be slave of all.
45 And also the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; 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 Jesus went out of Jericho, he and his disciples and a great multitude; Timeus, the son of Timeus, a blind man, was sitting by the side of the way, and 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 he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarean; and he began to cry out, and to say: Thou Son of David, 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 rebuked him, that he might be silent. But he cried out the more, and said: Thou 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, and directed him to be called. And they called the blind man, and said to him: Take courage: 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 And the blind man cast off his garment and arose, and went to Jesus.
He, casting away his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
51 Jesus said to him: What wilt thou, that I do for thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabbi, that I may have 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 And Jesus said to him: Go; thy faith hath procured thee life. And immediately his sight was restored; and he followed after him.
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.
