10He set out from there and went to the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Then crowds converged on Him again and, as He usually did, He began teaching them once more.G2547G450G2547G2064G1519G3725G2449G1223G4008G2446G2532G3793G4848G4314G846G3825G2532G5613G1486G1321G846G38252Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce [his] wife?"G2532G5330G4334G1905G846G1487G1832G435G630G1135G3985G8463He replied to them, "What did Moses command you?"G1161G611G2036G846G5101G3475G1781G52134They said, "Moses permitted us to write divorce papers and send her away."G1161G2036G3475G2010G1125G975G647G2532G6305But Jesus told them, "He wrote this commandment for you because of the hardness of your hearts.G2532G2424G611G2036G846G4314G4641G5216G4641G1125G5213G5026G17856But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.G1161G575G746G2937G2316G4160G846G730G2532G23387For this reason a man will leave his father and mother [[ and be joined to his wife,]]G1752G5127G2641G444G2641G846G3962G2532G3384G2532G4347G4314G846G11358and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.G2532G1417G2071G1519G3391G4561G5620G1526G3765G1417G235G3391G45619Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate."G3739G3767G2316G4801G5563G3361G444G556310Now in the house the disciples questioned Him again about this matter.G2532G1722G3614G846G3101G1905G846G3825G4012G84611And He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.G2532G3004G846G3739G1437G630G846G1135G2532G1060G243G3429G1909G84612Also, if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."G2532G1437G1135G630G846G435G2532G1060G243G342913Some people were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked them.G2532G4374G3813G846G2443G680G846G1161G3101G2008G437414When Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me. Don't stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.G1161G2424G1492G23G2532G2036G846G863G3813G2064G4314G3165G2532G2967G846G3361G1063G5108G2076G932G231615I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."G281G3004G5213G3739G1209G3362G1209G932G2316G5613G3813G1525G3364G1525G1519G84616After taking them in His arms, He laid His hands on them and blessed them.G2532G1723G846G1723G5087G5495G1909G846G2127G84617As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"G2532G1607G1519G846G3598G4370G1520G4370G2532G1120G846G1905G846G18G1320G5101G4160G2443G2816G166G222218"Why do you call Me good?" Jesus asked him. "No one is good but One— God.G1161G2424G2036G846G5101G3004G3165G18G3762G18G1508G1520G231619You know the commandments: Do not murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not defraud; honor your father and mother."G1492G1785G3431G3361G3431G5407G3361G5407G2813G3361G2813G5576G3361G5576G650G3361G5091G4675G3962G2532G338420He said to Him, "Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth."G1161G611G2036G846G1320G3956G5023G5442G1537G3450G350321Then, looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, "You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me."G1161G2424G1689G846G25G846G2532G2036G846G1520G4671G5302G5217G4453G3745G2192G2532G1325G4434G2532G2192G2344G1722G3772G2532G1204G142G4716G190G342722But he was stunned at this demand, and he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.G1161G4768G1909G3056G565G3076G1063G2192G2258G4183G293323Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!"G2532G2424G4017G3004G846G3101G4459G1423G2192G5536G1525G1519G932G231624But the disciples were astonished at His words. Again Jesus said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!G1161G3101G2284G1909G846G3056G1161G2424G611G3825G3004G846G5043G4459G1422G2076G3982G1909G5536G1525G1519G932G231625It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."G2076G2123G2574G1525G1330G1223G5168G4476G2228G4145G1525G1519G932G231626So they were even more astonished, saying to one another, "Then who can be saved?"G1161G1605G4057G3004G4314G1438G2532G5101G1410G498227Looking at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, because all things are possible with God."G1161G2424G1689G846G3004G3844G444G102G235G3756G3844G2316G1063G3844G2316G3956G2076G141528Peter began to tell Him, "Look, we have left everything and followed You."G2532G4074G756G3004G846G2400G2249G863G3956G2532G190G467129"I assure you," Jesus said, "there is no one who has left house, brothers or sisters, mother or father, children, or fields because of Me and the gospel,G1161G2424G611G2036G281G3004G5213G2076G3762G3739G863G3614G2228G80G2228G79G2228G3962G2228G3384G2228G1135G2228G5043G2228G68G1700G1752G2532G209830who will not receive 100 times more, now at this time— houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions— and eternal life in the age to come.G3362G2983G1542G3568G1722G5129G2540G3614G2532G80G2532G79G2532G3384G2532G5043G2532G68G3326G1375G2532G1722G165G2064G166G222231But many who are first will be last, and the last first."G1161G4183G4413G2071G2078G2532G2078G441332They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were astonished, but those who followed Him were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them the things that would happen to Him.G1161G2258G1722G3598G305G1519G2414G2532G2424G2258G4254G846G2532G2284G2532G190G5399G2532G3880G3825G1427G756G3004G846G3195G4819G84633"Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death. Then they will hand Him over to the Gentiles,G3754G2400G305G1519G2414G2532G5207G444G3860G749G2532G1122G2532G2632G846G2288G2532G3860G846G148434and they will mock Him, spit on Him, flog Him, and kill Him, and He will rise after three days."G2532G1702G846G2532G3146G846G2532G1716G846G2532G615G846G2532G5154G2250G45035Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Him and said, "Teacher, we want You to do something for us if we ask You."G2532G2385G2532G2491G5207G2199G4365G846G3004G1320G2309G2443G4160G2254G3739G1437G15436"What do you want Me to do for you?" He asked them.G1161G2036G846G5101G2309G3165G4160G521337They answered Him, "Allow us to sit at Your right and at Your left in Your glory."G1161G2036G846G1325G2254G2443G2523G1520G1537G4675G1188G2532G1520G1537G4675G2176G1722G4675G139138But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you're asking. Are you able to drink the cup I drink or to be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"G1161G2424G2036G846G1492G3756G5101G154G1410G4095G4221G3739G1473G4095G2532G907G908G3739G1473G90739"We are able," they told Him. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with.G1161G2036G846G1410G1161G2424G2036G846G4095G3303G4095G4221G3739G1473G4095G2532G908G3739G1473G907G90740But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to give; instead, it is for those it has been prepared for."G1161G2523G1537G3450G1188G2532G1537G3450G2176G2076G3756G1699G1325G235G3739G209041When the [other] 10 [disciples] heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.G2532G1176G191G756G23G4012G2385G2532G249142Jesus called them over and said to them, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles dominate them, and their men of high positions exercise power over them.G1161G2424G4341G846G3004G846G1492G3754G1380G757G1484G2634G846G2532G846G3173G2715G84643But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,G1161G3779G2071G3756G2071G1722G5213G235G3739G1437G2309G1096G3173G1722G5213G2071G5216G124944and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all.G2532G3739G302G5216G2309G1096G4413G2071G1401G395645For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life— a ransom for many."G1063G2532G5207G444G2064G3756G1247G235G1247G2532G1325G846G5590G3083G473G418346They came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.G2532G2064G1519G2410G2532G846G1607G575G2410G2532G846G3101G2532G2425G3793G5185G924G5207G5090G2521G3844G3598G431947When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, "Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!"G2532G191G3754G2076G2424G3480G756G2896G2532G3004G2424G5207G1138G1653G316548Many people told him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, "Have mercy on me, Son of David!"G2532G4183G2008G846G2443G4623G1161G2896G3123G4183G5207G1138G1653G316549Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man and said to him, "Have courage! Get up; He's calling for you."G2532G2424G2476G2036G846G5455G2532G5455G5185G3004G846G2293G1453G5455G457150He threw off his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.G1161G577G846G2440G450G2064G4314G242451Then Jesus answered him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" "Rabbouni," the blind man told Him, "I want to see!"G2532G2424G611G3004G846G5101G2309G4160G4671G1161G5185G2036G846G4462G2443G30852"Go your way," Jesus told him. "Your faith has healed you." Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.G1161G2424G2036G846G5217G4675G4102G4982G4571G4982G2532G2112G308G2532G190G2424G1722G3598
