Mark 10

¹And he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judæa and beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

²And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? trying him.

³And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

⁴And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

⁵But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

⁶But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them.

⁷For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;

⁸and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.

⁹What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

¹⁰And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter.

¹¹And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her:

¹²and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.

¹³And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.

¹⁴But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.

¹⁶And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.

¹⁷And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

¹⁸And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, even God.

¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother.

²⁰And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth.

²¹And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²²But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.

²³And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁵It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved?

²⁷Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

²⁸Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

²⁹Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake,

³⁰but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

³¹But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

³²And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him,

³³saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles:

³⁴and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.

³⁵And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.

³⁶And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

³⁷And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory.

³⁸But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

³⁹And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

⁴⁰but to sit on my right hand or on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared.

⁴¹And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.

⁴²And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.

⁴³But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister;

⁴⁴and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all.

⁴⁵For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

⁴⁶And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timæus, Bartimæus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side.

⁴⁷And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁹And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee.

⁵⁰And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.

⁵²And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way.

Mark 10

¹And rising up thence he comes into the coasts of Judaea, and the other side of the Jordan. And again crowds come together to him, and, as he was accustomed, again he taught them.

²And Pharisees coming to [him] asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? (tempting him).

³But he answering said to them, What did Moses command you?

⁴And they said, Moses allowed to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.

⁵And Jesus answering said to them, In view of your hard-heartedness he wrote this commandment for you;

⁶but from [the] beginning of [the] creationGod made them male and female.

⁷For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be united to his wife,

⁸and the two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two but one flesh.

⁹What thereforeGod has joined together, let not man separate.

¹⁰And again in the house the disciples asked him concerning this.

¹¹And he says to them, Whosoever shall put away his wife and shall marry another, commits adultery against her.

¹²And if a woman put away her husband and shall marry another, she commits adultery.

¹³And they brought little children to him that he might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those that brought [them].

¹⁴But Jesus seeing [it], was indignant, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me; forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom ofGod.

¹⁵Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom ofGod as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.

¹⁶And having taken them in his arms, having laid his hands on them, he blessed them.

¹⁷And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to [him], and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

¹⁸But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, [that is]God.

¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.

²⁰And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth.

²¹And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, [taking up the cross].

²²But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.

²³And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom ofGod!

²⁴And the disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter into the kingdom ofGod!

²⁵It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom ofGod.

²⁶And they were exceedingly astonished, saying to one another, And who can be saved?

²⁷But Jesus looking on them says, With men it is impossible, but not withGod; for all things are possible withGod.

²⁸Peter began to say to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.

²⁹Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, [or wife], or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,

³⁰that shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time: houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the coming age life eternal.

³¹But many first shall be last, and the last first.

³²And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them; and they were amazed, and were afraid as they followed. And taking the twelve again to [him], he began to tell them what was going to happen to him:

³³Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him up to the nations:

³⁴and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.

³⁵And there come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying [to him], Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us.

³⁶And he said to them, What would ye that I should do for you?

³⁷And they said to him, Give to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory.

³⁸And Jesus said to them, Ye do not know what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup which I drink, or be baptised with the baptism that I am baptised with?

³⁹And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that I drink ye will drink and with the baptism that I am baptised with ye will be baptised,

⁴⁰but to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give, but for those for whom it is prepared.

⁴¹And the ten having heard [of it], began to be indignant about James and John.

⁴²But Jesus having called them to [him], says to them, Ye know that those who are esteemed to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them; and their great men exercise authority over them;

⁴³but it is not thus among you; but whosoever would be great among you, shall be your minister;

⁴⁴and whosoever would be first of you shall be bondman of all.

⁴⁵For also the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many.

⁴⁶And they come to Jericho, and as he was going out from Jericho, and his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind [man], sat by the wayside begging.

⁴⁷And having heard that it was Jesus the Nazaraean, he began to cry out and to say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁹And Jesus, standing still, desired him to be called. And they call the blind [man], saying to him, Be of good courage, rise up, he calls thee.

⁵⁰And, throwing away his garment, he started up and came to Jesus.

⁵¹And Jesus answering says to him, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And the blind [man] said to him, Rabboni, that I may see.

⁵²And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way.
