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 arose and came into the confines of Judea, through the country upon the Jordan. Again multitudes resorted to him; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.
2 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,
And some Pharisees came, who, to try him, asked him, Is it lawful for the husband to divorce his wife?
3 and he answering said to them, 'What did Moses command you?'
He answering, said to them, What precept has Moses given you on this subject?
4 and they said, 'Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'
They replied, Moses has permitted us to write her a bill of divorcement, and dismiss her.
5 And Jesus answering said to them, 'For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
Jesus answering, said to them, Because of your untractable disposition, Moses gave you this permission.
6 but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;
But from the beginning, at the 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 shall adhere to his wife,
8 and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;
and they two shall be one flesh. They are, therefore, not longer two, but one flesh.
9 what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'
What then God has conjoined, let no man separate.
10 And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,
And, in the house, his disciples asked him anew concerning this matter.
11 and he saith to them, 'Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;
He said to them, Whosoever 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 divorce her husband, and marry 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,
Then they brought children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
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;
Jesus perceiving this, was offended, and said, Allow the children to come to me, do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child — he may not enter into it;'
Indeed, I say to you, whosoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall never enter it.
16 and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands upon them, he was blessing them.
Then taking them up in his arms, and laying his hands upon 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 he went out into the road, one came running to him, who, kneeling, asked him, Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One — God;
Jesus answered, Why do you call me good? God alone is good.
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.'
Do you know the commandments? Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not give false testimony; do no injury; honor your father and mother.
20 And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'
The other replied, Rabbi, I have observed all these from my childhood.
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.'
Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one thing, nevertheless, you are deficient. Go, sell all that you have, and give the price to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, and follow me, carrying the cross.
22 And he — gloomy at the word — went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
But he was troubled at this answer, and went away sorrowful; for he had great 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 looking around him, said to his disciples, How difficult it is for the wealthy to enter 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!
The disciples were astonished at his words; but Jesus resuming the discourse, said, Children, how difficult is it for them, who confide in wealth, 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 easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, 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?'
At this they were still more amazed, and said one to another, Who then can be saved?

Jesus looking upon them, said, To men it is impossible, but not to God; for to God all things are possible.
28 And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'
Then Peter took occasion to say, As for us, we have forsaken 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',
Jesus answering, said, Indeed, I say to you, there is none who shall have forsaken his his house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, for my sake and the gospel's;
31 and many first shall be last, and the last first.'
But many shall be first, who are last, and last, who are 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,
As they were on the road to Jerusalem, Jesus walking before them, a panic seized them, and they followed him with terror. Then taking the twelve aside, he told them again what would befall 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,
Behold, says he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him 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.'

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, accosted him, saying, Rabbi, we beg you would grant us what we purpose to ask.
36 and he said to them, 'What do ye wish me to do for you?'
He said to them, what would you have me grant 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 answered, That when you shall have attained your glory, one of us may sit at your right hand, and the other at your left.
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?'
Jesus replied, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I am to drink; and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo?
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 answered, We can. Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink such a cup, as I am to drink, and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo;
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 hand, and left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is appointed.
41 And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,
The ten hearing this, conceived indignation against 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 having called them together, said to them, You know that those who are accounted the princes of the nations, domineer over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon 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 amongst you. On the contrary, whosoever would be great amongst you, shall be your servant;
44 and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;
and whosoever would be the chief, shall be the 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 Man came not 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,
Then they came to Jericho. Afterward, as he was departing thence, with his disciples, and a great crowd, blind Bartimeus, son of Timeus, who sat by the way-side 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;'
hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, cried, saying, Jesus Son of David, have pity upon 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 charged him to be silent, but he cried still the louder, Son of David, have pity upon 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;'
Jesus stopping, ordered them to call him. Accordingly they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage; arise, he calls you.
50 and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.
Then throwing down his mantle, he sprang 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 addressing him, said, What do you wish me to do for you? Rabboni, answered the blind man, to give me my sight.
52 and Jesus said to him, 'Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. Immediately he recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
