< Mark 10 >
1 Soon on His feet once more, He enters the district of Judaea and crosses the Jordan: again the people flock to Him, and ere long, as was usual with Him, He was teaching them once more.

2 Presently a party of Pharisees come to Him with the question--seeking to entrap Him, "May a man divorce his wife?"

4 "Moses," they said, "permitted a man to draw up a written notice of divorce, and to send his wife away."

5 "It was in consideration of your stubborn hearts," said Jesus, "that Moses enacted this law for you;

10 Indoors the disciples began questioning Jesus again on the same subject.

11 He replied, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman, commits adultery against the first wife;

13 One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered.

14 Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, "Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs.

15 In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it."

16 Then He took them in His arms and blessed them lovingly, one by one, laying His hands upon them.

17 As He went out to resume His journey, there came a man running up to Him, who knelt at His feet and asked, "Good Rabbi, what am I to do in order to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios )

18 "Why do you call me good?" asked Jesus in reply; "there is no one truly good except One--that is, God.

21 Then Jesus looked at him and loved him, and said, "One thing is lacking in you: go, sell all you possess and give the proceeds to the poor, and you shall have riches in Heaven; and come and be a follower of mine."

22 At these words his brow darkened, and he went away sad; for he was possessed of great wealth.

23 Then looking round on His disciples Jesus said, "With how hard a struggle will the possessors of riches enter the Kingdom of God!"

24 The disciples were amazed at His words. Jesus, however, said again, "Children, how hard a struggle is it for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God!

32 They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were full of wonder, and some, though they followed, did so with fear. Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him.
