Mark 10
10AND [Jesus] left there [Capernaum] and went to the region of Judea and beyond [east of] the Jordan; and crowds [constantly] gathered around Him again, and as was His custom, He began to teach them again.G2547G450G2547G2064G1519G3725G2449G1223G4008G2446G2532G3793G4848G4314G846G3825G2532G5613G1486G1321G846G38252And some Pharisees came up, and, in order to test Him {and} try to find a weakness in Him, asked, Is it lawful for a man to dismiss {and} repudiate {and} divorce his wife?G2532G5330G4334G1905G846G1487G1832G435G630G1135G3985G8463He answered them, What did Moses command you?G1161G611G2036G846G5101G3475G1781G52134They replied, Moses allowed a man to write a bill of divorce and to put her away.G1161G2036G3475G2010G1125G975G647G2532G6305But Jesus said to them, Because of your hardness of heart [your condition of insensibility to the call of God] he wrote you this precept in your Law.G2532G2424G611G2036G846G4314G4641G5216G4641G1125G5213G5026G17856But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.G1161G575G746G2937G2316G4160G846G730G2532G23387For this reason a man shall leave [behind] his father and his mother {and be} {joined to his wife and cleave closely to her permanently,}G1752G5127G2641G444G2641G846G3962G2532G3384G2532G4347G4314G846G11358And the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.G2532G1417G2071G1519G3391G4561G5620G1526G3765G1417G235G3391G45619What therefore God has united (joined together), let not man separate {or} divide.G3739G3767G2316G4801G5563G3361G444G556310And indoors the disciples questioned Him again about this subject.G2532G1722G3614G846G3101G1905G846G3825G4012G84611And He said to them, Whoever dismisses (repudiates and divorces) his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;G2532G3004G846G3739G1437G630G846G1135G2532G1060G243G3429G1909G84612And if a woman dismisses (repudiates and divorces) her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.G2532G1437G1135G630G846G435G2532G1060G243G342913And they kept bringing young children to Him that He might touch them, and the disciples were reproving them [for it].G2532G4374G3813G846G2443G680G846G1161G3101G2008G437414But when Jesus saw [it], He was indignant {and} pained and said to them, Allow the children to come to Me--do not forbid {or} prevent {or} hinder them--for to such belongs the kingdom of God.G1161G2424G1492G23G2532G2036G846G863G3813G2064G4314G3165G2532G2967G846G3361G1063G5108G2076G932G231615Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive {and} accept {and} welcome the kingdom of God like a little child [does] positively shall not enter it at all.G281G3004G5213G3739G1209G3362G1209G932G2316G5613G3813G1525G3364G1525G1519G84616And He took them [the children up one by one] in His arms and [fervently invoked a] blessing, placing His hands upon them.G2532G1723G846G1723G5087G5495G1909G846G2127G84617And as He was setting out on His journey, a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him, Teacher, [You are essentially and perfectly morally] good, what must I do to inherit eternal life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah's kingdom]?G2532G1607G1519G846G3598G4370G1520G4370G2532G1120G846G1905G846G18G1320G5101G4160G2443G2816G166G222218And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me [essentially and perfectly morally] good? There is no one [essentially and perfectly morally] good--except God alone.G1161G2424G2036G846G5101G3004G3165G18G3762G18G1508G1520G231619You know the commandments: Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.G1492G1785G3431G3361G3431G5407G3361G5407G2813G3361G2813G5576G3361G5576G650G3361G5091G4675G3962G2532G338420And he replied to Him, Teacher, I have carefully guarded {and} observed all these {and} taken care not to violate them from my boyhood.G1161G611G2036G846G1320G3956G5023G5442G1537G3450G350321And Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and He said to him, You lack one thing; go and sell all you have and give [the money] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come [and] accompany Me [walking the same road that I walk].G1161G2424G1689G846G25G846G2532G2036G846G1520G4671G5302G5217G4453G3745G2192G2532G1325G4434G2532G2192G2344G1722G3772G2532G1204G142G4716G190G342722At that saying the man's countenance fell {and} was gloomy, and he went away grieved {and} sorrowing, for he was holding great possessions.G1161G4768G1909G3056G565G3076G1063G2192G2258G4183G293323And Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, With what difficulty will those who possess wealth {and} keep on holding it enter the kingdom of God!G2532G2424G4017G3004G846G3101G4459G1423G2192G5536G1525G1519G932G231624And the disciples were amazed {and} bewildered {and} perplexed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is {for those who trust (place their confidence, their sense of safety) in riches} to enter the kingdom of God!G1161G3101G2284G1909G846G3056G1161G2424G611G3825G3004G846G5043G4459G1422G2076G3982G1909G5536G1525G1519G932G231625It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.G2076G2123G2574G1525G1330G1223G5168G4476G2228G4145G1525G1519G932G231626And they were shocked {and} exceedingly astonished, and said to Him {and} {to one another}, Then who can be saved?G1161G1605G4057G3004G4314G1438G2532G5101G1410G498227Jesus glanced around at them and said, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.G1161G2424G1689G846G3004G3844G444G102G235G3756G3844G2316G1063G3844G2316G3956G2076G141528Peter started to say to Him, Behold, we have yielded up {and} abandoned everything [once and for all and joined You as Your disciples, siding with Your party] and accompanied You [walking the same road that You walk].G2532G4074G756G3004G846G2400G2249G863G3956G2532G190G467129Jesus said, Truly I tell you, there is no one who has given up {and} left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for My sake and for the Gospel'sG1161G2424G611G2036G281G3004G5213G2076G3762G3739G863G3614G2228G80G2228G79G2228G3962G2228G3384G2228G1135G2228G5043G2228G68G1700G1752G2532G209830Who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life.G3362G2983G1542G3568G1722G5129G2540G3614G2532G80G2532G79G2532G3384G2532G5043G2532G68G3326G1375G2532G1722G165G2064G166G222231But many [who are now] first will be last [then], and many [who are now] last will be first [then].G1161G4183G4413G2071G2078G2532G2078G441332They were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on in front of them; and they were bewildered {and} perplexed {and} greatly astonished, and those [who were still] following were seized with alarm {and} were afraid. And He took the Twelve [apostles] again and began to tell them what was about to happen to Him,G1161G2258G1722G3598G305G1519G2414G2532G2424G2258G4254G846G2532G2284G2532G190G5399G2532G3880G3825G1427G756G3004G846G3195G4819G84633[Saying], Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be turned over to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn {and} sentence Him to death and turn Him over to the Gentiles.G3754G2400G305G1519G2414G2532G5207G444G3860G749G2532G1122G2532G2632G846G2288G2532G3860G846G148434And they will mock Him and spit on Him, and whip Him and put Him to death; but after three days He will rise again [from death].G2532G1702G846G2532G3146G846G2532G1716G846G2532G615G846G2532G5154G2250G45035And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Him and said to Him, Teacher, we desire You to do for us whatever we ask of You.G2532G2385G2532G2491G5207G2199G4365G846G3004G1320G2309G2443G4160G2254G3739G1437G15436And He replied to them, What do you desire Me to do for you?G1161G2036G846G5101G2309G3165G4160G521337And they said to Him, Grant that we may sit, one at Your right hand and one at [Your] left hand, in Your glory (Your majesty and splendor).G1161G2036G846G1325G2254G2443G2523G1520G1537G4675G1188G2532G1520G1537G4675G2176G1722G4675G139138But Jesus said to them, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism [of affliction] with which I am baptized?G1161G2424G2036G846G1492G3756G5101G154G1410G4095G4221G3739G1473G4095G2532G907G908G3739G1473G90739And they replied to Him, We are able. And Jesus told them, The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized,G1161G2036G846G1410G1161G2424G2036G846G4095G3303G4095G4221G3739G1473G4095G2532G908G3739G1473G907G90740But to sit at My right hand or at My left hand is not Mine to give; but [it will be given to those] for whom it is ordained {and} prepared.G1161G2523G1537G3450G1188G2532G1537G3450G2176G2076G3756G1699G1325G235G3739G209041And when the other ten [apostles] heard it, they began to be indignant with James and John.G2532G1176G191G756G23G4012G2385G2532G249142But Jesus called them to [Him] and said to them, You know that those who are recognized as governing {and} are supposed to rule the Gentiles (the nations) lord it over them [ruling with absolute power, holding them in subjection], and their great men exercise authority {and} dominion over them.G1161G2424G4341G846G3004G846G1492G3754G1380G757G1484G2634G846G2532G846G3173G2715G84643But this is not to be so among you; instead, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant,G1161G3779G2071G3756G2071G1722G5213G235G3739G1437G2309G1096G3173G1722G5213G2071G5216G124944And whoever wishes to be most important {and} first in rank among you must be slave of all.G2532G3739G302G5216G2309G1096G4413G2071G1401G395645For even the Son of Man came not to have service rendered to Him, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for (instead of) many.G1063G2532G5207G444G2064G3756G1247G235G1247G2532G1325G846G5590G3083G473G418346Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, a son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.G2532G2064G1519G2410G2532G846G1607G575G2410G2532G846G3101G2532G2425G3793G5185G924G5207G5090G2521G3844G3598G431947And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have pity {and} mercy on me [now]!G2532G191G3754G2076G2424G3480G756G2896G2532G3004G2424G5207G1138G1653G316548And many severely censured {and} reproved him, telling him to keep still, but he kept on shouting out all the more, You Son of David, have pity {and} mercy on me [now]!G2532G4183G2008G846G2443G4623G1161G2896G3123G4183G5207G1138G1653G316549And Jesus stopped and said, Call him. And they called the blind man, telling him, Take courage! Get up! He is calling you.G2532G2424G2476G2036G846G5455G2532G5455G5185G3004G846G2293G1453G5455G457150And throwing off his outer garment, he leaped up and came to Jesus.G1161G577G846G2440G450G2064G4314G242451And Jesus said to him, What do you want Me to do for you? And the blind man said to Him, Master, let me receive my sight.G2532G2424G611G3004G846G5101G2309G4160G4671G1161G5185G2036G846G4462G2443G30852And Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has healed you. And at once he received his sight and accompanied Jesus on the road.G1161G2424G2036G846G5217G4675G4102G4982G4571G4982G2532G2112G308G2532G190G2424G1722G3598
