Κατα Μαρκον 10
1 κακειθεν αναστασ ερχεται εισ τα ορια τησ ιουδαιασ δια του περαν του ιορδανου και συμπορευονται παλιν οχλοι προσ αυτον και ωσ ειωθει παλιν εδιδασκεν αυτουσ
Jesus left Capernaum and went to the region of Judea and Transjordan. Once again people flocked to see him, and he was teaching them like he always did.
2 και προσελθοντεσ φαρισαιοι επηρωτησαν αυτον ει εξεστιν ανδρι γυναικα απολυσαι πειραζοντεσ αυτον
Some Pharisees came to see him. They tried to test him by asking the question, “Is divorce legal?”
3 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ τι υμιν ενετειλατο μωσησ
“What did Moses tell you to do?” he asked in reply.
4 οι δε ειπον μωσησ επετρεψεν βιβλιον αποστασιου γραψαι και απολυσαι
“Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send the woman away,” they replied.
5 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ προσ την σκληροκαρδιαν υμων εγραψεν υμιν την εντολην ταυτην
Then Jesus told them, “Moses only wrote down this rule for you because of your hard-hearted attitude.
6 απο δε αρχησ κτισεωσ αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτουσ ο θεοσ
However, in the beginning, from creation, God made male and female.
7 ενεκεν τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωποσ τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και προσκολληθησεται προσ την γυναικα αυτου
That's why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined in marriage to his wife,
8 και εσονται οι δυο εισ σαρκα μιαν ωστε ουκετι εισιν δυο αλλα μια σαρξ
and the two become one body. They are no longer two but one.
9 ο ουν ο θεοσ συνεζευξεν ανθρωποσ μη χωριζετω
Let no one separate what God has joined together.”
10 και εν τη οικια παλιν οι μαθηται αυτου περι του αυτου επηρωτησαν αυτον
When they were back indoors, the disciples began asking him about this.
11 και λεγει αυτοισ οσ εαν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου και γαμηση αλλην μοιχαται επ αυτην
“Any man who divorces his wife and marries again commits adultery against her,” he told them.
12 και εαν γυνη απολυση τον ανδρα αυτησ και γαμηθη αλλω μοιχαται
“And if the wife divorces her husband and marries again she commits adultery.”
13 και προσεφερον αυτω παιδια ινα αψηται αυτων οι δε μαθηται επετιμων τοισ προσφερουσιν
Some people brought their children to Jesus so that he could bless them, but the disciples told them off and tried to keep the children away from Jesus.
14 ιδων δε ο ιησουσ ηγανακτησεν και ειπεν αυτοισ αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προσ με μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
But when Jesus saw what they were doing, he became very upset and told them, “Let the children come to me! Don't stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
15 αμην λεγω υμιν οσ εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ωσ παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εισ αυτην
I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't welcome the kingdom of God like a child won't enter it.”
16 και εναγκαλισαμενοσ αυτα τιθεισ τασ χειρασ επ αυτα ευλογει αυτα
He hugged the children, placed his hands on them, and blessed them.
17 και εκπορευομενου αυτου εισ οδον προσδραμων εισ και γονυπετησασ αυτον επηρωτα αυτον διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησω ινα ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
As Jesus set out on his journey, a man came running over and kneeled down before Jesus. “Good teacher, what should I do to make sure I have eternal life?” he asked. (aiōnios g166)
18 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω τι με λεγεισ αγαθον ουδεισ αγαθοσ ει μη εισ ο θεοσ
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good, only God.
19 τασ εντολασ οιδασ μη μοιχευσησ μη φονευσησ μη κλεψησ μη ψευδομαρτυρησησ μη αποστερησησ τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα
You know the commandments: you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not cheat, honor your father and mother…”
20 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτω διδασκαλε ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητοσ μου
“Teacher,” the man replied, “I've obeyed all these commandments since I was small.”
21 ο δε ιησουσ εμβλεψασ αυτω ηγαπησεν αυτον και ειπεν αυτω εν σοι υστερει υπαγε οσα εχεισ πωλησον και δοσ πτωχοισ και εξεισ θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι αρασ τον σταυρον
Jesus looked at him with love and said, “You're only missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”
22 ο δε στυγνασασ επι τω λογω απηλθεν λυπουμενοσ ην γαρ εχων κτηματα πολλα
At this, the man's face fell, and he left feeling very sad, for he was very wealthy.
23 και περιβλεψαμενοσ ο ιησουσ λεγει τοισ μαθηταισ αυτου πωσ δυσκολωσ οι τα χρηματα εχοντεσ εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελευσονται
Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, “It's only with difficulty that wealthy people enter the kingdom of God!”
24 οι δε μαθηται εθαμβουντο επι τοισ λογοισ αυτου ο δε ιησουσ παλιν αποκριθεισ λεγει αυτοισ τεκνα πωσ δυσκολον εστιν τουσ πεποιθοτασ επι χρημασιν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
The disciples were shocked at this. But Jesus went on, “My friends, it is difficult to enter God's kingdom.
25 ευκοπωτερον εστιν καμηλον δια τησ τρυμαλιασ τησ ραφιδοσ εισελθειν η πλουσιον εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich to enter God's kingdom.”
26 οι δε περισσωσ εξεπλησσοντο λεγοντεσ προσ εαυτουσ και τισ δυναται σωθηναι
The disciples were even more confused. “Then who on earth can be saved?” they asked one another.
27 εμβλεψασ δε αυτοισ ο ιησουσ λεγει παρα ανθρωποισ αδυνατον αλλ ου παρα θεω παντα γαρ δυνατα εστιν παρα τω θεω
Looking right at them, Jesus replied, “From a human point of view, it's impossible—but not with God. Everything is possible with God.”
28 ηρξατο ο πετροσ λεγειν αυτω ιδου ημεισ αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
Peter spoke up, “We've left everything to follow you…”
29 αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αμην λεγω υμιν ουδεισ εστιν οσ αφηκεν οικιαν η αδελφουσ η αδελφασ η πατερα η μητερα η γυναικα η τεκνα η αγρουσ ενεκεν εμου και ενεκεν του ευαγγελιου
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “anyone who has left behind their home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands because of me, and for the sake of the good news,
31 πολλοι δε εσονται πρωτοι εσχατοι και εσχατοι πρωτοι
However, many of the first will be last, and the last first.”
32 ησαν δε εν τη οδω αναβαινοντεσ εισ ιεροσολυμα και ην προαγων αυτουσ ο ιησουσ και εθαμβουντο και ακολουθουντεσ εφοβουντο και παραλαβων παλιν τουσ δωδεκα ηρξατο αυτοισ λεγειν τα μελλοντα αυτω συμβαινειν
They continued on their way to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking on ahead. The disciples were apprehensive and the other followers were afraid. So Jesus took the disciples aside and began to explain to them what was about to happen to him.
33 οτι ιδου αναβαινομεν εισ ιεροσολυμα και ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου παραδοθησεται τοισ αρχιερευσιν και γραμματευσιν και κατακρινουσιν αυτον θανατω και παραδωσουσιν αυτον τοισ εθνεσιν
“We're going to Jerusalem,” he told them, “and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and religious teachers. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the foreigners.
34 και εμπαιξουσιν αυτω και μαστιγωσουσιν αυτον και εμπτυσουσιν αυτω και αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη τριτη ημερα αναστησεται
They will mock him, spit on him, flog him, and kill him. But three days later he will rise again.”
35 και προσπορευονται αυτω ιακωβοσ και ιωαννησ οι υιοι ζεβεδαιου λεγοντεσ διδασκαλε θελομεν ινα ο εαν αιτησωμεν ποιησησ ημιν
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to see him. “Teacher,” they said, “We want you to do for us whatever we ask you.”
36 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ τι θελετε ποιησαι με υμιν
“So what do you want me to do for you?” Jesus replied.
37 οι δε ειπον αυτω δοσ ημιν ινα εισ εκ δεξιων σου και εισ εξ ευωνυμων σου καθισωμεν εν τη δοξη σου
“When you're victorious and sit on your throne, make sure we sit beside you, one on the right, the other on the left,” they told him.
38 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ουκ οιδατε τι αιτεισθε δυνασθε πιειν το ποτηριον ο εγω πινω και το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθηναι
“You don't know what you're asking,” replied Jesus. “Can you drink the cup I drink? Can you be baptized with the baptism of pain I will suffer?”
39 οι δε ειπον αυτω δυναμεθα ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ το μεν ποτηριον ο εγω πινω πιεσθε και το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθησεσθε
“Yes, we can,” they replied. “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the same baptism as me,” Jesus told them.
40 το δε καθισαι εκ δεξιων μου και εξ ευωνυμων ουκ εστιν εμον δουναι αλλ οισ ητοιμασται
“But it's not for me to grant who should sit on my right or on my left. These places are reserved for those for whom they have been prepared.”
41 και ακουσαντεσ οι δεκα ηρξαντο αγανακτειν περι ιακωβου και ιωαννου
When the other ten disciples heard about this, they started getting upset with James and John.
42 ο δε ιησουσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ αυτουσ λεγει αυτοισ οιδατε οτι οι δοκουντεσ αρχειν των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι αυτων κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων
Jesus called the disciples together and told them, “You realize that those who claim to rule over nations oppress their people. The rulers act like tyrants.
43 ουχ ουτωσ δε εσται εν υμιν αλλ οσ εαν θελη γενεσθαι μεγασ εν υμιν εσται υμων διακονοσ
But for you it's not like this. Anyone of you who wants you to be a ruler must be your servant,
44 και οσ εαν θελη υμων γενεσθαι πρωτοσ εσται παντων δουλοσ
and anyone who wants to be first among you must be the slave of all of you.
45 και γαρ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν διακονηθηναι αλλα διακονησαι και δουναι την ψυχην αυτου λυτρον αντι πολλων
For even the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
46 και ερχονται εισ ιεριχω και εκπορευομενου αυτου απο ιεριχω και των μαθητων αυτου και οχλου ικανου υιοσ τιμαιου βαρτιμαιοσ ο τυφλοσ εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
Jesus and his disciples passed through Jericho, and as they were leaving town, accompanied by a large crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting at the roadside.
47 και ακουσασ οτι ιησουσ ο ναζωραιοσ εστιν ηρξατο κραζειν και λεγειν ο υιοσ δαυιδ ιησου ελεησον με
When he heard it was Jesus of Nazareth, he started shouting out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
48 και επετιμων αυτω πολλοι ινα σιωπηση ο δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
Lots of people told him to be quiet, but that only made him shout even more, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy me!”
49 και στασ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτον φωνηθηναι και φωνουσιν τον τυφλον λεγοντεσ αυτω θαρσει εγειραι φωνει σε
Jesus stopped, and said, “Tell him to come here.” So they called him over, telling him, “Good news! Get up. He's calling for you.”
50 ο δε αποβαλων το ιματιον αυτου αναστασ ηλθεν προσ τον ιησουν
Bartimaeus jumped up, threw off his coat, and rushed over to Jesus.
51 και αποκριθεισ λεγει αυτω ο ιησουσ τι θελεισ ποιησω σοι ο δε τυφλοσ ειπεν αυτω ραββουνι ινα αναβλεψω
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. “Teacher,” he said to Jesus, “I want to see!”
52 ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω υπαγε η πιστισ σου σεσωκεν σε και ευθεωσ ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει τω ιησου εν τη οδω
“You can go. Your trust in me has healed you.” Immediately Bartimaeus could see and he followed Jesus as he went on his way.
