< Mark 10 >

1 And, from thence, arising, he cometh into the bounds of Judaea and beyond the Jordan, —and there come together again, multitudes unto him, and, as he had been wont, again, was he teaching them.
And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching.
2 And Pharisees coming near were questioning him—whether it is allowed a husband to divorce a wife, testing him.
And Pharisees came to him, testing him with the question, Is it right for a man to put away his wife?
3 But, he, answering, said unto them—What unto you did, Moses, command?
And he said to them in answer, What did Moses say you were to do?
4 And, they, said—Moses permitted, to write, a roll of dismissal, and to divorce.
And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.
5 But, Jesus, said unto them—In view of your hardness of heart, wrote he for you this commandment;
But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.
6 But, from the beginning of creation, male and female, made he [them];
But from the first, male and female made he them.
7 For this cause, shall a man leave behind his father and mother,
For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;
8 and, the two, shall become, one flesh; so that, no longer, are they two, but, one flesh.
And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 What then, God, hath yoked together, let, a man, not put asunder.
Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.
10 And, [coming] into the house again, the disciples, concerning this, were questioning him;
And in the house the disciples put questions to him again about this thing.
11 and he saith unto them—Whosoever shall divorce his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her;
And he said to them, Whoever puts away his wife and takes another, is false to his wife;
12 And, if, she, divorcing her husband, marry another, she committeth adultery.
And if she herself puts away her husband and takes another, she is false to her husband.
13 And they were bringing unto him children, that he might, touch, them, —the disciples, however, were rebuking them.
And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.
14 But Jesus, seeing it, was greatly displeased, and said unto them—Suffer the children to come unto me, —do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.
And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily, I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
16 And, folding them in his arms, he was blessing them, having laid his hands upon them.
And he took them in his arms, and gave them a blessing, putting his hands on them.
17 And, as he was going forth into a road, one, running, and kneeling before him, was questioning him—Good Teacher! what shall I do that, life age—abiding, I may inherit? (aiōnios g166)
And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 And, Jesus, said unto him—Why callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.
19 The commandments, thou knowest, —Do not commit murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal; Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.
You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.
20 And, he, said unto him—Teacher! all these things, have I kept, from my youth.
And he said to him, Master, all these laws I have kept from the time when I was young.
21 And, Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said unto him—One thing, unto thee, is wanting; —Withdraw! whatsoever thou hast, sell, and give unto [the] destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come! be following me.
And Jesus, looking on him and loving him, said, There is one thing needed: go, get money for your goods, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come with me.
22 And, he, becoming gloomy because of the word, departed sorrowing, for he was holding, many possessions.
But his face became sad at the saying, and he went away sorrowing: for he was one who had much property.
23 And, looking around, Jesus saith unto his disciples—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God!
And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!
24 And, the disciples, were in amazement, because of the words. But, Jesus, again answering, saith unto them—Children! how difficult, it is, to enter, into the kingdom of God!
And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!
25 It is, easier, for a camel, through the eye of a needle, to pass, than for, a rich man, into the kingdom of God, to enter.
It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.
26 And, they, were being exceedingly struck with astonishment, saying unto him—Who, then, can, be saved?
And they were greatly surprised, saying to him, Who then may have salvation?
27 Looking at them, Jesus saith—With men, impossible, but not, with God; for, all things, are possible, with God
Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
28 Peter began to be saying unto him—Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee!
Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything, and come after you.
29 Jesus said—Verily, I say unto you—There is, no one, who hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me, and [for the sake of] the glad-message,
Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,
30 who shall not receive a hundredfold, now, in this season, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, —with persecutions, and, in the age that is coming, life age-abiding. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
Who will not get a hundred times as much now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land — though with great troubles; and, in the world to come, eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 But, many, shall be—first-last, and [the] Last-first.
But a great number who are first will be last: and those who are last will be first.
32 Now they were in the way, going up unto Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them, —and they were in amazement; and, they who followed, were in fear. And, taking unto himself, again, the twelve, he began to be saying unto them, as to the things about to befall him—
And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,
33 Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up, unto the Chief-priests and the Scribes, —and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him up unto the nations;
Saying, See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given up to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will give an order for his death, and will give him up to the Gentiles:
34 And they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and, slay; —and, after three days, will he, arise.
And they will make sport of him, and put shame on him, and give him cruel blows, and will put him to death; and after three days he will come back from the dead.
35 And there come near unto him, James and John, the [two] sons of Zebedee, —saying unto him—Teacher! we desire, that, whatsoever we shall ask thee, thou wilt do for us.
And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?
36 But, he, said unto them—What desire ye, I should do for you?
And he said to them, What would you have me do for you?
37 And, they, said unto him—Grant us, that, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, we may sit, in thy glory.
And they said to him, Let us be seated, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.
38 But, Jesus, said unto them—Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup that, I, am to drink? or to be immersed, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed?
But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?
39 And, they, said unto him—We are able. And, Jesus, said unto them—The cup which, I, am to drink, ye shall drink, and, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed, shall ye be immersed;
And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:
40 But, to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except unto them for whom it hath been prepared.
But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.
41 And the ten, hearing, began to be sorely displeased, concerning James and John.
And hearing this, the ten became very angry with James and John.
42 And Jesus, calling them near, saith unto them—Ye know that, they who think to rule the nations, lord it over them, and, their great ones, wield authority over them;
And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.
43 But, not so, it is, among you. But, whosoever desireth to become, great, among you, shall be, your minister,
But it is not so among you: but whoever has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant:
44 And, whosoever desireth, among you, to be, first, shall be, servant of all;
And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him be servant of all.
45 For, even the Son of Man, came not to be ministered unto, but minister, —and to give his life, a ransom instead of many.
For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.
46 And they come into Jericho. And, as he was journeying forth from Jericho, and his disciples, and a considerable multitude, the son of Timaeus, blind Bar-Timaeus, a beggar, was sitting beside the road.
And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.
47 And, hearing that it was, Jesus the Nazarene, he began to be crying aloud, and saying—O Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me.
And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many were rebuking him, that he might hold his peace; but, he, so much the more, was crying aloud, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
And some of them, turning in protest, gave him an order to be quiet: but he went on crying out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And, coming to a stand, Jesus said—Call him! And they call the blind man, saying unto him—Take courage! rise! he calleth thee!
And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for you.
50 And, he, throwing off his mantle—springing to his feet, came unto Jesus.
And he, putting off his coat, got up quickly, and came to Jesus.
51 And, answering him, Jesus said—What desirest thou, I should do for thee? And, the blind man, said unto him—Rabboni! that may recover sight.
And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the blind man said, Master, make me able to see.
52 And, Jesus, said unto him—Go thy way! thy faith, hath saved thee. And, straightway, he recovered sight, and was following him in the road.
And Jesus said to him, Go on your way; your faith has made you well. And straight away he was able to see, and went after him in the way.
