Mark 10
1 He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.
And 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.
2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,
3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?”
and he answering said to them, 'What did Moses command you?'
4 They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”
and they said, 'Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'
5 But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;
7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,
on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
and they shall be — the two — for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;
9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'
10 In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,
11 He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
and he saith to them, 'Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;
12 If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.'
13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,
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.
and 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;
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.”
verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child — he may not enter into it;'
16 He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands upon them, he was blessing them.
17 As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
And 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?' (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one [is] good except One — God;
19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honour your father and mother.’”
the 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.'
20 He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”
And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'
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.”
And 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.'
22 But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
And he — gloomy at the word — went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!”
And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, 'How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!'
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!
And 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!
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 easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'
26 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, 'And who is able to be saved?'
27 Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”
And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'
28 Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all and have followed you.”
And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'
29 Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,
And 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',
31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
and many first shall be last, and the last first.'
32 They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
And 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 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
— '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,
34 They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”
and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.'
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.”
And 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;'
36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
and he said to them, 'What do ye wish 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.”
and they said to him, 'Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy 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 baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?”
and 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?'
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 baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with;
And 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;
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 on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but — to those for whom it hath been prepared.'
41 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.
And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,
42 Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognised as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
but 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;
43 But it shall not be so amongst you, but whoever wants to become great amongst you shall be your servant.
but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,
44 Whoever of you wants to become first amongst you shall be bondservant of all.
and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant 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 Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, 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.
And 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,
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 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;'
48 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with 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!”
And 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;'
50 He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto 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.”
And 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;'
52 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the way.
and Jesus said to him, 'Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
