Mark 10

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
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 he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, 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 came to him, and 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 And he answered and said unto 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 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, 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 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this 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 shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 and the two become one flesh. They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh.	8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, 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 his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11 and he said to them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another is guilty of adultery against her.	11 And he saith unto 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 a woman 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 young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those 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 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto 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 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 Then he embraced them, laid his hands on them and gave them his blessing.	16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and 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, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 Jesus said to him, 'Why do you cal me good? No one is good but God alone.	18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none 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, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he said to him, 'Master, I have kept al these since my earliest days.'	20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I 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 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 But his face fel at these words and he went away sad, for he was a man of great wealth.	22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: 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 looked round about, and saith unto 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 answereth again, and saith unto 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 go 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 And they were astonished out of measure, 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 upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Peter took this up. 'Look,' he said to him, 'we have left everything and fol owed you.'	28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, 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 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
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 But he shall receive an 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.
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 amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto 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 delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; 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 shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall 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 unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36 He said to them, 'What is it you want me to do for you?'	36 And he said unto them, What would ye 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 They said unto him, Grant unto 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 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
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 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye 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 and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given 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 when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with 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 called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43 Among you this is not to happen. No; anyone who wants to become great among you must be yourservant,	43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 and anyone who wants to be first among you must be slave to all.	44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be 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 even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom 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 great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway 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 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou 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 charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou 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 stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 So throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and went to Jesus.	50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
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 answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
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 said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
