Mark 10
1 Jesus left (that place/Capernaum) [with his disciples], and they went through Judea district and on across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. When crowds gathered around him again, he taught them again, as he customarily did.

2 [While he was teaching them, some] Pharisees approached him and asked him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit a man to divorce his wife?” They asked that in order to be able to criticize him [whether he answered “yes” or “no”].

3 He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”

4 [One of] them replied, “Moses permitted that a man may write on paper [his reason] for divorcing [his wife], [give this paper to her], and then send her away.”

5 Jesus said to them, “It was because your [ancestors] stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for [your ancestors], and you [are just like them]!

6 [Remember] that he [also wrote that, when God] first created [people], he made [one] man, and [one] woman [to become that man’s wife].

7 That explains why [God said], ‘When a man [and] woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers [after they marry].

8 Instead, the two of them shall [live together, and they shall] become so [closely united] [MET] [that they are like] one person.’ Therefore, although the people [who marry] were two [separate persons] before, [God regards them] as one person now, [so he wants them to remain married].

9 Because that is true, a man must not separate from his [wife] whom God has joined [to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together]!”

10 When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.

11 He said to them, “[God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, so he considers] that any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, [even] if he divorces his first wife.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲭ ⳿ⲁ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲥ.
12 [God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”

13 [One day], some people were bringing children to Jesus in order that he would touch [and bless] them. But the disciples scolded those people [because they thought that Jesus] ([did not want to be bothered spending time with/was not concerned about]) [children].
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿Ⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁⲛ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
14 When Jesus saw that, he became angry. He said to the [disciples], “Allow the children to come to me! Do not forbid them [DOU]! It is people who [are humble and trust as they do] who can experience (God’s rule [in their lives]/God taking care of them) [MET].

15 Note this: Those who do not [trustingly] allow God to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the place where God rules.”

16 Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.

17 As Jesus was starting to travel [again with his disciples], a [young] man ran up to him. He knelt before Jesus and then he asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to have eternal life/in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)

18 Jesus said to him, “(You should consider carefully [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good!/Do you realize [what you are implying] (OR, [that you are implying that I am God]) [by] calling me good, because only God is good?)

19 [But to answer your question], you know the commandments [of Moses, which will cause you to live eternally if you obey them perfectly]. He commanded [things such as] ‘do not murder anyone, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not (testify falsely/lie), do not cheat anyone, and honor your father and mother’.”

20 The man said to him, “Teacher, I have obeyed all those commandments ever since I was young. [So is] ([that enough/there something else that I have not done])?”

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. He said to him, “There is one thing that you have not [yet done]. You must go [home], sell all that you possess, and then give [the money] to poor people. [As a result], you will be spiritually rich in heaven. After [you have done what I have told you], come with me [and be my disciple]!”

22 The man became disappointed when he heard that. He went away sad, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give away everything].

24 The disciples were surprised at what he said. [They thought that God favored the rich people, so if God did not save them, he would not save anyone]. So Jesus replied again to them, “My dear friends, it is very difficult for anyone [to decide] to let God rule his life.

Along the way he took the twelve disciples to a place by themselves]. Then he began to tell them again about what was going to happen to him, saying,
