Mark 10
1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
On leaving that place Jesus came into the borders of Judea, on the other side of the Jordan, Once more the people flocked about him, and again, as usual, he began teaching them.
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? tempting him.
Presently some Pharisees came up and tested him, by asking if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife.
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
"What did Moses command you?" he replied,
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
"Moses," said they, "permitted a man to draw up a bill of separation and divorce her."
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
But Jesus said to them. "Moses gave you that command because of the hardness of your hearts;
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
but from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
"For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
so that they are no more two, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same [matter].
When indoors the disciples began to question Jesus again about this, and he said.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
"Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
and if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and [his] disciples rebuked those that brought [them].
Now people were bringing little children to Jesus for him to touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Jesus was indignant when he saw it, and said. "Let the little children come to me. Do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
I tell you true that unless a man receives the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not even enter it."
16 And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them, and blessed them.
Then he took them in his arms, and laid his hand upon them in blessing.
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
As he started to go forth into the road, a man came running up to him, and knelt down before him. "Good Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God.
Jesus said to him. "Why do you call me ‘good’? No one is good save one, God himself.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
You know the commandments. Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat, honor your father and mother."
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
"Teacher," he answered, "I have observed all these from my youth."
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Jesus loved him as he looked at him, and said. "One thing you lack. Go, sell all you have and give to the poor; and you shall have wealth in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
But his face fell at these words, and he went away saddened, for he was one who had great wealth.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Then Jesus looked round on his disciples and said, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!"
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus looked around and said again to them.
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
"My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
"Then who can be saved?" they said to themselves astonished beyond measure.
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
"But we," Peter began to say, "we have left our all and have followed you."
29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,
"I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel’s,
31 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.
But many who are first shall be last, and the last, first."
32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus led the way; and they were amazed, and some, although they followed, were afraid. Then once more he took the Twelve, and began to tell them what was about to befall him.
33 [Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
"See," said he, "we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be betrayed to the high priests and the Scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will hand him over to the Gentiles,
34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
who will mock him, spit upon him, flog him, and put him to death; and after three days he will rise again."
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
Presently there came up to him Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee, and said, "Teacher, we wish you would do for us whatever we ask you."
36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
"What is it you want me to do for you?" said he.
37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
They answered, "Allow us to sit, one at your right hand, and the other at your left hand, in your glory."
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
"You know not what you are asking," said Jesus. "Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
They answered him, "We can." "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized,
40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared.
but a seat upon my right hand or my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been reserved."
41 And when the ten heard [it], they began to be much displeased with James and John.
When they heard this the ten began to be indignant at Jamesand John, so Jesus called them to him and said.
42 But Jesus called them [to him], and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
"You know that those who are regarded as rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make them feel their authority.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
Not so shall it be among you. On the contrary whoever would become great among you shall be your servant;
44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
and whoever among you would be first, shall be slave of all,
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
and justly, 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 came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging.
Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began shouting and saying, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!"
48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
and many kept rebuking him and telling him to be quiet, but he only shouted much louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
Then Jesus stood still, saying, "Call him." So they called the blind man, and said, "Courage, rise, he is calling you."
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
The man threw off his cloak, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.
51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
"What do you want me to do?" said Jesus, addressing him. And the blind man answered, "O Rabboni, that I might receive my sight!"
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
"Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.
