Mark 10
10
1 And rising up, he went from there into the area of Judea beyond the Jordan. And again, the crowd came together before him. And just as he was accustomed to do, again he taught them.
2 And approaching, the Pharisees questioned him, testing him: "Is it lawful for a man to dismiss his wife?"
3 But in response, he said to them, "What did Moses instruct you?"
4 And they said, "Moses gave permission to write a bill of divorce and to dismiss her."
5 But Jesus responded by saying: "It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you.
6 But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
7 Because of this, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife.
8 And these two shall be one in flesh. And so, they are now, not two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate."
10 And again, in the house, his disciples questioned him about the same thing.
11 And he said to them: "Whoever dismisses his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
12 And if a wife dismisses her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery."
13 And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: "Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God.
15 Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it."
16 And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
17 And when he had departed on the way, a certain one, running up and kneeling before him, asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do, so that I may secure eternal life?"
18 But Jesus said to him, "Why call me good? No one is good except the one God.
19 You know the precepts: "Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not speak false testimony. Do not deceive. Honor your father and mother."
20 But in response, he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth."
21 Then Jesus, gazing at him, loved him, and he said to him: "One thing is lacking to you. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me."
22 But he went away grieving, having been greatly saddened by the word. For he had many possessions.
23 And Jesus, looking around, said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!"
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus, answering again, said to them: "Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God."
26 And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, "Who, then, can be saved?"
27 And Jesus, gazing at them, said: "With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible."
28 And Peter began to say to him, "Behold, we have left all things and have followed you."
29 In response, Jesus said: "Amen I say to you, There is no one who has left behind house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake and for the Gospel,
30 who will not receive one hundred times as much, now in this time: houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land, with persecutions, and in the future age eternal life.
31 But many of the first shall be last, and the last shall be first."
32 Now they were on the way ascending to Jerusalem. And Jesus went ahead of them, and they were astonished. And those following him were afraid. And again, taking aside the twelve, he began to tell them what was about to happen to him.
33 "For behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be handed over to the leaders of the priests, and to the scribes, and the elders. And they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles.
34 And they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death. And on the third day, he will rise again."
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, drew near to him, saying, "Teacher, we wish that whatever we will ask, you would do for us."
36 But he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
37 And they said, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory."
38 But Jesus said to them: "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice from which I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?"
39 But they said to him, "We can." Then Jesus said to them: "Indeed, you shall drink from the chalice, from which I drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism, with which I am to be baptized.
40 But to sit at my right, or at my left, is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared."
41 And the ten, upon hearing this, began to be indignant toward James and John.
42 But Jesus, calling them, said to them: "You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them.
43 But it is not to be this way among you. Instead, whoever would become greater shall be your minister;
44 and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all.
45 So, too, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many."
46 And they went to Jericho. And as he was setting out from Jericho with his disciples and a very numerous multitude, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind man, sat begging beside the way.
47 And when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and to say, "Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me."
48 And many admonished him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me."
49 And Jesus, standing still, instructed him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him: "Be at peace. Arise. He is calling you."
50 And casting aside his garment, he leapt up and went to him.
51 And in response, Jesus said to him, "What do you want, that I should do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, that I may see."
52 Then Jesus said to him, "Go, your faith has made you whole." And immediately he saw, and he followed him on the way.

Mark 10
10
1And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.
2And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,
3and he answering said to them, ‘What did Moses command you?’
4and they said, ‘Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.’
5And Jesus answering said to them, ‘For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
6but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;
7on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
8and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;
9what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.’
10And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,
11and he saith to them, ‘Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;
12and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.’
13And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,
14and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, ‘Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
15verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child — he may not enter into it;’
16and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands upon them, he was blessing them.
17And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, ‘Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?’
18And Jesus said to him, ‘Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One — God;
19the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.’
20And he answering said to him, ‘Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.’
21And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, ‘One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast — sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.’
22And he — gloomy at the word — went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
23And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, ‘How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!’
24And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, ‘Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!
25It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.’
26And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, ‘And who is able to be saved?’
27And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, ‘With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.’
28And Peter began to say to him, ‘Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.’
29And Jesus answering said, ‘Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news’,
30who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;
31and many first shall be last, and the last first.’
32And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,
33— ‘Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations,
34and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.’
35And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, ‘Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;’
36and he said to them, ‘What do ye wish me to do for you?’
37and they said to him, ‘Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;’
38and Jesus said to them, ‘Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with — to be baptized?’
39And they said to him, ‘We are able;’ and Jesus said to them, ‘Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;
40but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared.’
41And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,
42but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, ‘Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;
43but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,
44and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;
45for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.’
46And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus — Bartimaeus the blind — was sitting beside the way begging,
47and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, ‘The Son of David — Jesus! deal kindly with me;’
48and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, ‘Son of David, deal kindly with me.’
49And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, ‘Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;’
50and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.
51And answering, Jesus saith to him, ‘What wilt thou I may do to thee?’ and the blind man said to him, ‘Rabboni, that I may see again;’
52and Jesus said to him, ‘Go, thy faith hath saved thee:’ and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
