Mark 10

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 After leaving there, he came into the territory of Judaea and Transjordan. And again crowds gatheredround him, and again he taught them, as his custom was.	1 And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coasts of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitudes flock to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again.
2 Some Pharisees approached him and asked, 'Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?' They wereputting him to the test.	2 And the Pharisees coming to him asked him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3 He answered them, 'What did Moses command you?'	3 But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you?
4 They replied, 'Moses al owed us to draw up a writ of dismissal in cases of divorce.'	4 Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.
5 Then Jesus said to them, 'It was because you were so hard hearted that he wrote this commandmentfor you.	5 To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you that precept.
6 But from the beginning of creation he made them male and female.	6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
7 This is why a man leaves his father and mother,	7 For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.
8 and the two become one flesh. They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh.	8 And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.
9 So then, what God has united, human beings must not divide.'	9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 Back in the house the disciples questioned him again about this,	10 And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.
11 and he said to them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another is guilty of adultery against her.	11 And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another she is guilty of adultery too.'	12 And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 People were bringing little children to him, for him to touch them. The disciples scolded them,	13 And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them.
14 but when Jesus saw this he was indignant and said to them, 'Let the little children come to me; do notstop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.	14 Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 In truth I tel you, anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child wil never enterit.'	15 Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.
16 Then he embraced them, laid his hands on them and gave them his blessing.	16 And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
17 He was setting out on a journey when a man ran up, knelt before him and put this question to him,'Good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?'	17 And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?
18 Jesus said to him, 'Why do you cal me good? No one is good but God alone.	18 And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.
19 You know the commandments: You shal not kil ; You shal not commit adultery; You shal not steal;You shal not give false witness; You shal not defraud; Honour your father and mother.'	19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.
20 And he said to him, 'Master, I have kept al these since my earliest days.'	20 But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth.
21 Jesus looked steadily at him and he was fil ed with love for him, and he said, 'You need to do onething more. Go and sell what you own and give the money to the poor, and you wil have treasure in heaven;then come, fol ow me.'	21 And Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 But his face fel at these words and he went away sad, for he was a man of great wealth.	22 Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Jesus looked round and said to his disciples, 'How hard it is for those who have riches to enter thekingdom of God!'	23 And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God!
24 The disciples were astounded by these words, but Jesus insisted, 'My children,' he said to them, 'howhard it is to enter the kingdom of God!	24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God?
25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for someone rich to enter thekingdom of God.'	25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 They were more astonished than ever, saying to one another, 'In that case, who can be saved?'	26 Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved?
27 Jesus gazed at them and said, 'By human resources it is impossible, but not for God: because forGod everything is possible.'	27 And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
28 Peter took this up. 'Look,' he said to him, 'we have left everything and fol owed you.'	28 And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
29 Jesus said, 'In truth I tell you, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, mother, father,children or land for my sake and for the sake of the gospel	29 Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,
30 who wil not receive a hundred times as much, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and land-- and persecutions too -- now in this present time and, in the world to come, eternal life.	30 Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.
31 Many who are first wil be last, and the last, first.'	31 But many that are first, shall be last: and the last, first.
32 They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem; Jesus was walking on ahead of them; they were in adaze, and those who fol owed were apprehensive. Once more taking the Twelve aside he began to tel themwhat was going to happen to him,	32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them, and they were astonished; and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him.
33 'Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man is about to be handed over to the chiefpriests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death and wil hand him over to the gentiles,	33 Saying: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes and ancients, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles.
34 who wil mock him and spit at him and scourge him and put him to death; and after three days he wilrise again.'	34 And they shall mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached him. 'Master,' they said to him, 'We want you todo us a favour.'	35 And James and John the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us:
36 He said to them, 'What is it you want me to do for you?'	36 But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you?
37 They said to him, 'Al ow us to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory.'	37 And they said: Grant to us, that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38 But Jesus said to them, 'You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I shaldrink, or be baptised with the baptism with which I shal be baptised?'	38 And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of: or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?
39 They replied, 'We can.' Jesus said to them, 'The cup that I shal drink you shal drink, and with thebaptism with which I shal be baptised you shal be baptised,	39 But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of: and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized, you shall be baptized.
40 but as for seats at my right hand or my left, these are not mine to grant; they belong to those to whomthey have been al otted.'	40 But to sit on my right hand, or on my left, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared.
41 When the other ten heard this they began to feel indignant with James and John,	41 And the ten hearing it, began to be much displeased at James and John.
42 so Jesus cal ed them to him and said to them, 'You know that among the gentiles those they cal theirrulers lord it over them, and their great men make their authority felt.	42 But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles, lord it over them: and their princes have power over them.
43 Among you this is not to happen. No; anyone who wants to become great among you must be yourservant,	43 But it is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater, shall be your minister.
44 and anyone who wants to be first among you must be slave to all.	44 And whosoever will be first among you, shall be the servant of all.
45 For the Son of man himself came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom formany.'	45 For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
46 They reached Jericho; and as he left Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus -- thatis, the son of Timaeus -- a blind beggar, was sitting at the side of the road.	46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho, with his disciples, and a very great multitude, Bartimeus the blind man, the son of Timeus, sat by the way side begging.
47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout and cry out, 'Son of David, Jesus,have pity on me.'	47 Who when he had heard, that it was Jesus of Nazareth, began to cry out, and to say: Jesus son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many of them scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but he only shouted al the louder, 'Son ofDavid, have pity on me.'	48 And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace; but he cried a great deal the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 Jesus stopped and said, 'Cal him here.' So they cal ed the blind man over. 'Courage,' they said, 'getup; he is calling you.'	49 And Jesus, standing still, commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort: arise, he calleth thee.
50 So throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and went to Jesus.	50 Who casting off his garment leaped up, and came to him.
51 Then Jesus spoke, 'What do you want me to do for you?' The blind man said to him, 'Rabbuni, let mesee again.'	51 And Jesus answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni, that I may see.
52 Jesus said to him, 'Go; your faith has saved you.' And at once his sight returned and he fol owed himalong the road.	52 And Jesus saith to him: Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw, and followed him in the way.
