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 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
Then some Pharisees approached to test Him and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife?”
3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?”
So in answer He said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”
They said, “Moses permitted one to write a certificate of divorce and to put away.”

and the two will be turned into one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh.
9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
10 In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
When they were in the house again, His disciples asked Him about the same subject.
11 He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;
12 If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
and if a woman divorces her husband and gets married to another, she commits adultery.”
13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
People started bringing little children to Him, that He might touch them; so the disciples started rebuking those doing the bringing.
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 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 Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way 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 He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

20 He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”
In answer he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since I was young.”
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.”
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.”

24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
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 to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
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 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”

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 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

“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;

35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”
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 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
So He said to them, “What do you want me to 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.”
They said to Him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and one at your left, in your 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 baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
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 They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
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 at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has 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 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John.
Well when the ten heard it they began to be indignant with James and John.
42 Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over 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 it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.
But it must not be so among you, but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant,
44 Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all.
and whoever desires to be your number one must be slave of all.
45 For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as 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 They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on 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 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Many started telling him to shut up, but he started calling out even louder, “Son of David, have mercy 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!”
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 He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
Tossing off his cloak, he got up and went 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.”
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!”

So Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has healed you.” And immediately he could see, and followed Jesus on the road.
