ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ AND rising up he goes thence into the borders of Judaea, and the further side of the Jordan. And again the multitudes come together to him; and as he was wont, he again taught them. ² And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, if it is lawful for a man to put away a wife, tempting him. ³ And he answering said to them: What did Moses command you? ⁴ And they said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. ⁵ And Jesus answering said to them: For your hardness of heart he wrote you this command. ⁶ 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 shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall be one flesh. ⁸ So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. ⁹ What therefore God joined together, let not man put asunder. ¹⁰ And in the house his disciples asked him again concerning this. ¹¹ And he says to them: Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her. ¹² And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery. ¹³ And they brought little children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked those who brought them. ¹⁴ But Jesus seeing it, was much displeased, and said to them: Suffer the little children to come to me; forbid them not, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. ¹⁵ Verily I say to you, whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter therein. ¹⁶ And he folded them in his arms, put his hands on them, and blessed them. ¹⁷ And as he was going forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeling to him, and asked him: Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? ¹⁸ And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God. ¹⁹ Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother. ²⁰ And he answering said to him: Teacher, all these I kept from my youth. ²¹ And Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him: One thing thou lackest; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow me. ²² And he became sad at that saying, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. ²³ And looking around, Jesus says to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answering again says to them: Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 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. ²⁶ And they were exceedingly amazed, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved? ²⁷ And Jesus, looking on them, says: With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible. ²⁸ Peter began to say to him: Lo, we forsook all, and followed thee. ²⁹ And Jesus answering said: Verily I say to you, there is no one who forsook house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, ³⁰ but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life. ³¹ But many first will be last, and the last first. ³² And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem. And Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed, and as they followed they were afraid. And again he took with him the twelve, and began to say to them what things should happen to him: ³³ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death and will deliver him up to the Gentiles; ³⁴ and they will mock him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and will kill him; and after three days he will rise again. ³⁵ And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him saying: Teacher, we desire that thou shouldst do for us whatever we shall ask. ³⁶ And he said to them: What do ye desire that I should do for you? ³⁷ They said to him: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy glory. ³⁸ And Jesus said to them: Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink, or to endure the immersion which I endure? ³⁹ And they said to him: We are able. And Jesus said to them: Ye shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and endure the immersion which I endure. ⁴⁰ But to sit on my right hand, or on the left, is not mine to give, but is for them for whom it has been prepared. ⁴¹ And the ten, hearing it, began to be much displeased with James and John. ⁴² And Jesus, calling them to him, says to them: Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³ But it is not so among you. But whoever would become great among you, shall be your minister; ⁴⁴ and whoever would become chiefest of you, shall be servant of all. ⁴⁵ 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 And they come to Jericho. And as he was going forth from Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way-side. ⁴⁷ And hearing that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say: Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me. ⁴⁸ And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried all the more: Son of David, have mercy on me. ⁴⁹ And Jesus stood still, and said: Call him. And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of good cheer; rise, he calls thee. ⁵⁰ And he, casting away his garment, leaped up, and came to Jesus. ⁵¹ And Jesus answering said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? The blind man said to him: Lord, that I may receive sight. ⁵² And Jesus said to him: Go thy way; thy faith has made thee whole. And immediately he received sight, and followed him in the way.
