Mark 10
1 And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.
Then He set out from there and came into the borders of Judea, by way of the other side of the Jordan. Again, crowds gathered to Him, and as was His custom, He began to teach them once more.
2 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,
Then some Pharisees approached to test Him and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife?”
3 and he answering said to them, 'What did Moses command you?'
So in answer He said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 and they said, 'Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'
They said, “Moses permitted one to write a certificate of divorce and to put away.”
5 And Jesus answering said to them, 'For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
Jesus answered and said to them: “It was due to your hardness of heart that he wrote you this precept.
6 but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;
But from the beginning of creation, God made them a male and a female.
7 on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
8 and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;
and the two will be turned into one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh.
9 what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'
Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
10 And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,
When they were in the house again, His disciples asked Him about the same subject.
11 and he saith to them, 'Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;
So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;
12 and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.'
and if a woman divorces her husband and gets married to another, she commits adultery.”
13 And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,
People started bringing little children to Him, that He might touch them; so the disciples started rebuking those doing the bringing.
14 and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
But when Jesus saw it He was indignant and said to them: “Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, because the Kingdom of God is made up of such.
15 verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child — he may not enter into it;'
I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child does will certainly not enter it.”
16 and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands upon them, he was blessing them.
And taking them in His arms and laying His hands on them, He blessed them.
17 And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, 'Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?' (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus set out on the road, someone came running up, knelt before Him and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do that I may inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
18 And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One — God;
So Jesus said to Him: “Why do you call me ‘good’? No one is good except one—God.
19 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and 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 answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'
In answer he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since I was young.”
21 And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, 'One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast — sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'
Then 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. Then come, take up the cross, and follow me.”
22 And he — gloomy at the word — went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
But he was dismayed at the suggestion and went away sorrowing, because he had many possessions.
23 And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, 'How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!'
Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to get into the Kingdom of God!”
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, 'Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!
But the disciples were astounded at His words. So Jesus tried 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 through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'
It is actually easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
26 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, 'And who is able to be saved?'
Then they were totally astonished, saying to each other, “Who then can be saved?”
27 And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; because all things are possible with God.”
28 And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'
Then Peter began to say to Him, “So, we have left all and followed you.”
29 And Jesus answering said, 'Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',
In answer Jesus said: “I tell you assuredly, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields, for my sake and for that of the Gospel,
31 and many first shall be last, and the last first.'
But many first will be last, and last first.”
32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,
Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going ahead of them; this surprised them, and as they followed they started to be afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that were about to happen to Him:
33 — 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations,
“Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of the Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him over to the Gentiles;
34 and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.'
and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”
35 And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, 'Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;'
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Him and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we may ask.”
36 and he said to them, 'What do ye wish me to do for you?'
So He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 and they said to him, 'Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;'
They said to Him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and one at your left, in your glory.”
38 and Jesus said to them, 'Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with — to be baptized?'
But Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
39 And they said to him, 'We are able;' and Jesus said to them, 'Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;
They said to Him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them: “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
40 but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared.'
but to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to grant, but is for whom it has been prepared.”
41 And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,
Well when the ten heard it they began to be indignant with James and John.
42 but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, 'Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;
But Jesus summoned them and said to them: “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,
But it must not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant,
44 and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;
and whoever desires to be your number one must be slave of all.
45 for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'
For even the Son of the Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
46 And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus — Bartimaeus the blind — was sitting beside the way begging,
They came to Jericho. Then as He was going out from Jericho, with His disciples and a large crowd, the blind Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting by the roadside begging.
47 and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, 'The Son of David — Jesus! deal kindly with me;'
And when he heard that it was Jesus the Natsorean, he began to call out and say, “O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!”
48 and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'
Many started telling him to shut up, but he started calling out even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, 'Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;'
So Jesus stood still and said to call him. Then they called the blind man, saying to him: “Courage! Get up! He's calling you!”
50 and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.
Tossing off his cloak, he got up and went to Jesus.
51 And answering, Jesus saith to him, 'What wilt thou I may do to thee?' and the blind man said to him, 'Rabboni, that I may see again;'
Jesus reacted by saying to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabouni, that I may see again!”
52 and Jesus said to him, 'Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
So Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has healed you.” And immediately he could see, and followed Jesus on the road.
