Markus 10
1 Und von dannen machte Er Sich auf und kam in die Grenzen Judäas durch die Gegenden jenseits des Jordan; und ein Gedränge zog wieder zusammen, Ihm zu, und wie Er gewohnt war, lehrte Er sie wieder.
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 Und die Pharisäer kamen herzu und fragten Ihn, ob es einem Manne erlaubt sei, sich von seinem Weibe zu scheiden, und versuchten Ihn damit.
[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 Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Was hat euch Moses geboten?
He answered them, “What did Moses command your [ancestors about a man divorcing his wife]?”
4 Sie aber sprachen: Moses hat gestattet einen Scheidebrief zu schreiben und sich zu scheiden.
[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 Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Um eures Herzens Härtigkeit willen hat Moses euch solch Gebot geschrieben.
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 Von Anfang der Schöpfung an aber machte Gott sie männlich und weiblich.
[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 Darum soll der Mensch Vater und Mutter verlassen und seinem Weibe anhangen;
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 Und die zwei sollen sein ein Fleisch. So sind sie denn nicht mehr zwei, sondern ein Fleisch.
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 Was denn Gott zusammengefügt hat, das soll der Mensch nicht trennen.
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 Und im Hause fragten Ihn Seine Jünger abermals über dasselbe.
When Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, they asked him again about this.
11 Und Er sprach zu ihnen: Wer sich von seinem Weibe scheidet und freiet eine andere, der bricht die Ehe an ihr.
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.
12 Und so sich ein Weib scheidet von ihrem Manne und freiet einen anderen, die bricht die Ehe.
[God also considers] a woman who divorces her first husband to be committing adultery if she marries another man.”
13 Und sie brachten Kindlein herzu, daß Er sie berührete. Die Jünger aber bedrohten die, so sie herbrachten.
[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].
14 Da es aber Jesus sah, ward Er unwillig und sprach zu ihnen: Lasset die Kindlein zu Mir kommen und wehret ihnen nicht; denn solcher ist das Reich Gottes.
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 Wahrlich, Ich sage euch: Wer das Reich Gottes nicht aufnimmt, wie ein Kindlein, der wird nicht hineinkommen.
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 Und Er schloß sie in Seine Arme, legte die Hände auf sie und segnete sie.
Then he embraced the children. He also put his hands on them [and asked God to] bless them.
17 Und da Er hinauskam auf den Weg, lief einer herzu, fiel vor Ihm auf die Knie und fragte Ihn: Guter Lehrer, was soll ich tun, daß ich das ewige Leben ererbe? (aiōnios g166)
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 aber sprach zu ihm: Was nennst du Mich gut? Niemand ist gut, den der Eine, Gott.
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?) [RHQ] No other person is good
19 Du weißt die Gebote: Du sollst nicht ehebrechen, du sollst nicht morden, du sollst nicht stehlen, du sollst kein falsch Zeugnis geben, du sollst nicht übervorteilen. Ehre deinen Vater und die Mutter.
[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 Er aber antwortete und sprach zu Ihm: Lehrer, das hab ich alles gehalten von meiner Jugend auf.
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 aber blickte ihn an, und liebte ihn und sprach zu ihm: Eins mangelt dir. Gehe hin, verkaufe, was du hast, und gib es den Armen, so wirst du einen Schatz im Himmel haben; und komme her, folge Mir nach und nimm das Kreuz auf dich.
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 Er aber ward düster über dem Worte und ging betrübt weg; denn er hatte viel Besitztum.
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].
23 Und Jesus blickte umher und sprach zu Seinen Jüngern: Wie schwer ist es, daß die, so Vermögen haben, ins Reich Gottes eingehen!
Jesus looked around [at the people]. Then he exclaimed to his disciples, “It is very difficult for people who are wealthy to [decide to] let God rule their lives!”
24 Die Jünger aber waren bestürzt über Seine Worte; Jesus aber antwortete wieder und sprach zu ihnen: Kinder, wie schwer ist es, daß die auf das Vermögen vertrauen, ins Reich Gottes kommen!
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.
25 Es ist leichter, daß ein Kamel durch das Öhr der Nadel durchgehe, denn daß ein Reicher ins Reich Gottes komme.
It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
26 Sie aber staunten über die Maßen und sagten untereinander: Wer kann dann gerettet werden?
The disciples were very astonished. So they said to each other, “If that is so, (it will be unlikely that anyone will be saved {that God will save anyone}!/will [God] save anyone?) [RHQ]”
27 Jesus aber blickte sie an und sprach: Bei Menschen ist es unmöglich, aber nicht bei Gott; denn bei Gott sind alle Dinge möglich.
Jesus looked at them and then he said, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]! But God certainly can [save them], because God can do anything!”
28 Da antwortete Petrus und sagte zu Ihm: Siehe, wir haben alles verlassen und sind Dir nachgefolgt.
Peter exclaimed, “[You know that] we have left behind everything and we have become your disciples. [So], ([what about us/will God (accept us/reward us)])?”
29 Jesus antwortete und sprach: Wahrlich, Ich sage euch, es ist niemand, der um Meinetwillen und um des Evangeliums willen Haus, oder Brüder, oder Schwestern, oder Vater, oder Mutter, oder Weib, oder Kinder, oder Felder verlassen hat,
Jesus replied, “I want you to know this: Those who have left [their] houses, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, [their] father, [their] mother, [their] children, or [their] plots of ground, to [be] my [disciples] and to [proclaim] the good news,
30 Der nicht hundertfältig empfinge jetzt in dieser Zeit Häuser und Brüder und Schwestern und Mütter und Kinder und Felder mit Verfolgungen und in dem zukünftigen Zeitlauf ewiges Leben. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
will receive in this life 100 times as much [as they left behind. That will include houses and people as dear as] brothers and sisters and mothers and children, and plots of ground. Furthermore, although people will persecute them [here on earth because they believe in me], in the future age [they] will ([have] eternal life/live [with God] eternally). (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Viele aber, welche die ersten sind, werden letzte sein, und die letzten werden erste sein.
But I [warn you all]: Many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be very important will be unimportant [at that future time], and many of you who [now consider yourselves] to be unimportant will be very important [at that future time]!”
32 Sie waren aber auf dem Wege hinaufzugehen nach Jerusalem, und Jesus ging ihnen voran, und sie waren bestürzt und folgten Ihm nach und fürchteten sich. Und Er nahm wieder die Zwölfe zu Sich, und fing an, ihnen zu sagen, was sich mit Ihm zutragen würde.
[Some days later as they continued to travel], Jesus and his disciples were walking on the road that leads up to Jerusalem [city]. Jesus was walking ahead of them. [The disciples/apostles] were astonished [that he was going to where there were many people who opposed him], and the other people who were with them were afraid [about what would happen to him in Jerusalem. 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,
33 Siehe, wir gehen hinauf nach Jerusalem, und des Menschen Sohn wird den Hohenpriestern und den Schriftgelehrten überantwortet werden, und sie werden Ihn zum Tode verdammen und Ihn den Heiden überantworten.
“Listen carefully! We are going up to Jerusalem. There the chief priests and the men who teach the Jewish laws will be enabled {someone will help the chief priests and those who teach our [Jewish] laws} to seize me. Then they will declare that I must die, [even though] I am the one who came from heaven. Then they will take me to the Roman [authorities].
34 Und sie werden Ihn verspotten und Ihn geißeln, und Ihn anspeien und Ihn töten; und am dritten Tage wird Er auferstehen.
Those men will ridicule me. They will spit on me. They will (scourge me/whip me with a leaded whip.) Then they will kill me. But on the third day after that, I will become alive again!”
35 Und es kamen zu Ihm Jakobus und Johannes, die Söhne des Zebedäus, und sprachen: Lehrer, wir wollen, daß Du uns tust, um was wir bitten werden.
[Along the way], James and John, [who were] the two sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and they said to him, “Teacher, please do for us what we will ask you to do!”
36 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Was wollt ihr, daß ich euch tun solle?
He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37 Sie aber sagten zu Ihm: Gib uns, daß wir sitzen, einer zu Deiner Rechten und einer zu Deiner Linken in Deiner Herrlichkeit.
They said to him, “When you [rule] gloriously, [let us rule with you]. Let one of us [sit] at your right side and one sit at your left side.”
38 Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Ihr wisset nicht, was ihr bittet. Könnet ihr den Kelch trinken, den Ich trinke, und mit der Taufe euch taufen lassen, mit der Ich getauft werde?
But Jesus said to them, “You do not understand what you are asking for.” Then he asked them, “Can you endure suffering [MTY] like I am about to suffer? Can you endure being killed [MTY] as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}?”
39 Sie aber sprachen zu Ihm: Wir können es. Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Den Kelch zwar, den Ich trinke, werdet ihr trinken, und mit der Taufe, mit der Ich getauft werde, getauft werden;
They said to him, “[Yes], we are able [to do that]!” Then Jesus said to them, “[It is true that] you will endure suffering [MTY] like I will suffer, and you will endure being killed as I will be killed {people killing you as they will kill me}.
40 Das Sitzen aber zu Meiner Rechten und zu Meiner Linken ist nicht Mein, zu geben, außer denen es bereitet ist.
But I am not the one who chooses the ones who will sit next to me [and rule with me. God will give] those places to the ones he appoints.”
41 Und da die Zehn das hörten, fingen sie an unwillig zu werden über Jakobus und Johannes.
The [other] ten [disciples later] heard about what James and John [had requested]. As a result, they were angry with them [because they also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
42 Jesus aber rief sie zu Sich und sprach zu ihnen: Ihr wisset, daß die, so als Oberste gelten, über die Völkerschaften herrschen, und ihre Großen Gewalt üben über sie.
Then, after Jesus called them all together, he said to them, “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. You also know that officials enjoy commanding others.
43 Also aber sei es nicht bei euch. Sondern wer groß unter euch sein will, der soll euer Diener sein;
But do not be like them! On the contrary, all those among you who want [God to consider them] great must become [like] servants to [the rest of] you.
44 Und wer unter euch der Erste sein will, der soll aller Knecht sein.
Furthermore, if anyone among you wants [God to consider him] to be the most important, he must [act like] a servant for the rest of you.
45 Denn auch des Menschen Sohn ist nicht gekommen, Sich dienen zu lassen, sondern zu dienen und Seine Seele zu geben für viele zur Lösung.
[You should imitate me]. Even though I am the one who has come from heaven, I did not come to be served {for others to serve me}. On the contrary, I came in order to serve others and to allow others to kill me, in order that my dying for people would be like a payment to rescue [many people from being punished] {[God punishing them]} [for their sins].”
46 Und sie kamen nach Jericho. Und wie Er aus Jericho auszog mit Seinen Jüngern und Gedränge genug, saß am Wege des Timäus Sohn, Bartimäus der Blinde, und bettelte.
[On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and the disciples came to Jericho town]. Afterwards, while they were leaving Jericho along with a great crowd, a blind man who habitually begged [for money] was sitting beside the road. His name was Bartimaeus and his father’s name was Timaeus.
47 Und als der hörte, daß es Jesus der Nazarener war, fing er an zu schreien und zu sagen: Sohn Davids, Jesus, erbarme Dich mein!
When he heard people say that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he shouted, “Jesus! [You who are the Messiah] descended from [King] David, (be merciful to/help) me!”
48 Viele aber bedrohten ihn, er solle stillschweigen. Er aber schrie viel mehr: Sohn Davids, erbarm Dich mein!
Many people rebuked him and told him that he should be quiet. But he shouted even more, “[You who are the Messiah] descended from [King David], (be merciful to/help) me!”
49 Und Jesus stand stille und sagte, man solle ihn rufen. Und sie riefen dem Blinden und sagten zu ihm: Sei getrost, mache dich auf; Er ruft dich.
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him [to come over here]!” They summoned the blind man, saying, “Jesus is calling you! So cheer up and get up [and come]!”
50 Der aber warf sein Kleid ab, stand auf und kam zu Jesus.
He threw aside his cloak as he jumped up, and he came to Jesus.
51 Und Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Was willst du, daß Ich dir tun soll? Der Blinde aber sprach zu Ihm: Rabbuni, daß ich sehend werde.
Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Sir, I [want to be able] to see again!”
52 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Gehe hin; dein Glaube hat dich gerettet. Und alsbald ward er sehend und folgte Ihm nach auf dem Wege.
Jesus said to him, “[I am] healing you [because] you believed [in me]. So you may go [home]!” He could see immediately. And he went with Jesus along the road.
