Mark 10

TKJU(i) 1 And He arose from that place, and came into the borders of Judea by the far side of the Jordan: And the people went with Him again; and as He was accustomed to, He taught them with repetition. 2 Then the Pharisees came to Him, and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?" testing Him. 3 And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?" 4 And they said, "Moses permitted to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away." 5 And Jesus answered and said to them, "For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God 'made them male and female.' 7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 and the two shall be one flesh: So then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." 10 And in the house His disciples asked Him again about the same matter. 11 And He said to them, "Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman puts away her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery." 13 Then they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them; and His disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased, and said to them, "Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them: For of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter into it." 16 And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them. 17 And when He had gone forth into the roadway, there came one running, and he kneeled to Him, and asked Him, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" 18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? There is none good, except One, that is, God. 19 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery', 'Do not kill', 'Do not steal', 'Do not bear false witness', 'Do not defraud', 'Honor your father and your mother.' " 20 And he answered and said to Him, "Master, I have observed all these from my youth." 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: And come, take up the cross, and follow Me." 22 And he was sad at that word, and went away grieved: For he had great possessions. 23 Then Jesus looked around, and said to His disciples, "How hardly shall those that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!" 24 And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again, and said 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 astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?" 27 Now Jesus looking upon them said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: For with God all things are possible." 28 Then Peter began to say to Him, "Look, we have left all, and have followed You." 29 And Jesus answered and said, "Truly I say to you, There is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My sake, and the gospel's, 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 that are first shall be last; and the last first." 32 Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: And they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. Then He took the twelve again, and began to tell them what things would happen to Him, 33 saying, "Behold, 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 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." 35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Master, we would like that You do for us whatever we desire." 36 And He said to them, "What do you will that I should do for you?" 37 They said to Him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one on Your right hand, and the other on Your left hand, in Your glory." 38 But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you ask: Can you drink of the cup that I drink of? And be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" 39 And they said to Him, "We can." And Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: 40 But to sit on My right hand and on My left hand is not Mine to give; but it shall be given to those for whom it is prepared." 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John. 42 But Jesus called them to Him, and said to them, "You know that those who are deemed to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43 But it shall not be so among you: Indeed whoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44 And whoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many." 46 And they came to Jericho: Then as He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a large number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the side of the highway begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me." 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: But he cried out a great deal more, "Son of David, have mercy on me." 49 Then Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good comfort, rise; He calls for you." 50 And casting away his garment, he rose, and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you will that I should do to you?" The blind man said to Him, "Lord, that I may receive my sight." 52 Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you whole." And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus on the road.
