2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife, trying him.
3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?”

10 In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

11 He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
And he saith to them, Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery against her.
12 If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
And if she put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
But Jesus seeing it was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the children to come to me; forbid them not; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
15 Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will not enter therein.
16 He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

21 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.”
And Jesus looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, There is no one who hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me and of the glad tidings,

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying to him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldst do for us whatever we shall ask thee.
36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 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.”
And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, in thy glory.
38 But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?”
But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with;
And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye will drink the cup that I drink, and ye will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
40 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 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.
And the ten hearing it began to be much displeased with James and John.
42 Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognised as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
And Jesus, calling them to him, saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the nations lord it over them, and their great men exercise a strict authority over them.
43 But it shall not be so amongst you, but whoever wants to become great amongst you shall be your servant.
But it is not so among you; but whoever desireth to become great among you, will be your minister;
44 Whoever of you wants to become first amongst you shall be bondservant of all.
and whoever of you desireth to become first, will be servant of all;

And many sharply bade him be silent; but he cried out the more, Son of David, have pity on me!
49 Jesus stood still and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”

50 He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
And throwing off his garment, he leaped up, and came to Jesus.
51 Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may see again.”
And Jesus answering said to him, What dost thou wish me to do for thee? The blind man said to him, My master, to restore my sight.
52 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the way.
And Jesus said to him, Go; thy faith hath saved thee. And he immediately received his sight, and followed him on the road.
