1 And from thence arising he comes into the borders of the Judea, by the other side if the Jordan; and come together again crowds he taught them.
2 And approaching Pharisees asked him: If it is lawful for a man a wife to release? trying him.
3 He and answering said to them: What to you did enjoin Moses?
4 They and said: Moses allowed a scroll of separation to be written, and to release.
5 And answering the Jesus said to them: For the hardness of heart of you he wrote to you the commandment this.
6 From but a beginning of creation a male and a female he made them the God
7 On account of this shall leave a man the father of himself and the mother, and shall be closely united to the wife of himself.
8 And shall be the two into flesh one. So that no longer they are two, but one flesh.
9 What then the God has joined together, a man not disunites.
10 And in the house again the disciples of him concerning of the him asked him.
11 And he says to them: Whoever may release the wife of himself, and may marry another, commits adultery with her.
12 And if a woman may release the husband of herself, and may be married to another, commits adultery.
13 And they brought to him little children, that he might touch them; the but disciples rebuked those bringing.
14 Seeing but the Jesus was displeased, and said to them: Allow the little children to come to me, not hinder them; of the for such like is the kingdom of the God.
15 Indeed I say to you, whoever not may receive the kingdom of the God like a little child, not not may enter into her.
16 And embracing in his arms them, having placed the hands upon them, he blessed them.
17 And going out of him into a way, running up one, and kneeling before him, he asked him: O teacher good, what must I do, that life agelasting I may inherit?
18 The and Jesus said to him: Why me callest thou good? no one good, if not one, the God.
19 The commandments thou knowest: Not thou must commit adultery; Not thou must kill; Not thou must steal; Not thou must testify falsely; Not thou must defraud; Honor the father of thee, and the mother.
20 He but answering said to him: O teacher, these all I kept from childhood of me.
21 He but Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One to thee lacks; go, whatever thou hast sell, and give to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and hither, follow me, take up the cross.
22 He but looking sad at the word, went away sorrowing; he was for having possessions many.
23 And looking round the Jesus, says to the disciples of himself: How hardly those the riches having into the kingdom of the God shall enter.
24 They and disciples were astonished at the words of him. The but Jesus again answering says to them: Children, how difficult it is those having confidence in the riches, into the kingdom of the God to enter.
25 Easier it is a camel through the hole of the needle to pass, than a rich man into the kingdom of the God to enter.
26 They and greatly were amazed, saying among themselves: And who is able to be saved?
27 Looking on and to them the Jesus says: With men impossible but not with the God; all for possible is with the God.
28 Began the Peter to say to him: Lo, we left all, and followed thee.
29 Answering the Jesus said: Indeed I say to you, no one is, who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on account of me and on account of the glad tidings,
30 if not he may receive a hundred fold, now in the season this, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age to come life agelasting.
31 Many but shall be first, last; and last, first.
32 They were and in the way going up to Jerusalem; and was going before them the Jesus; and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And taking aside again the twelve, he began to them to tell the things being about to him to happen:
33 For lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of the man will be delivered up to the highpriests and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and they will deliver up him to the Gentiles,
34 and they will mock him, and they will scourge him, and they will spit upon him, and they will kill him; and the third day he will stand up.
35 And come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying: O teacher, we wish, that whatever we may ask, thou mayst do for us.
36 He but said to them: What do you wish to do me for you?
37 They and said to him: Give to us, that one at right of thee, and one at left of thee we may sit in the glory of thee.
38 The and Jesus said to them: Not you know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup, which I drink, and the dipping, which I am dipped, to be dipped?
39 They and said to him: We are able. The and Jesus said to them: The indeed cup, which I drink, you will drink; and the dipping, which I am dipped, you will be dipped;
40 the but to sit at right of me and at left, not is mine to give, but to whom it has been prepared.
41 And having heard the ten, they began to be angry about James and John.
42 The but Jesus having called them, he says to them: You know, that those presuming to rule the nations, lord it over them, and the great of them exercise authority over them.
43 Not so but it shall be among you; but whoever may wish to become great among you, shall be of you a servant;
44 and whoever may wish of you to become first, shall be of all a slave.
45 And for the son of the man not came to be served, but to serve, and to give the life of himself a ransom for many.
46 And they come into Jericho; and going out of him from Jericho, and the disciples of him, and a crowd great, a son of Timeus, Bartimeus the blind, sat by the way begging.
47 And hearing, that Jesus the Nazarene it is, he began to cry out and to say: The son of David, Jesus, have pity me.
48 And rebuked him many, so that he might be silent; he but much more cried out: O son of David, have pity on me.
49 And stopping the Jesus, said him to be called; and they called the blind, saying; to him: Take courage, rise up; he calls thee.
50 He and throwing off the mantle of himself, arising came to the Jesus.
51 And answering says to him the Jesus: What dost thou wish I may do to thee? The and blind said to him: Rabboni, that i may see again.
52 The and Jesus said to him: Go; the faith of thee has saved thee. And immediately he saw again, and followed him in the way.
1 Jesus crossed the Jordan River when he went to the province of Judea. Crowds gathered all around him just as they always did.
2 Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him. »Does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife?« They asked.
3 »What did Moses command you?« Jesus asked.
4 They said: »Moses allowed us to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.«
5 »He wrote this commandment because of your hard hearts,« Jesus replied.
6 »God made male and female from the beginning of creation.
7 »For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife.
8 »The two shall become one flesh. They are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 »That which God has joined together let not man take apart separate.«
10 In the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.
11 He said: »He who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12 »If she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.
13 People were bringing little children to him so he could touch them. His disciples turned them away.
14 But when Jesus saw it he was moved with indignation. He said: »Allow the little children to come to me! Do not turn them away for they belong to the kingdom of God.
15 »Truly I tell you, he who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child shall not enter it.«
16 He took them in his arms, put his hands upon them and blessed them.
17 As he traveled someone ran to him, kneeled and asked him: »Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit everlasting life?«
18 Jesus asked him: »Why do you call me good? None is good except God.
19 »You 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.«
20 »Teacher,« he said: »I have observed all of these from my youth.«
21 Jesus lovingly looked at him and said: »You lack one thing. Go, sell your possessions and give to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.«
22 He was very sad when he heard this for he had many possessions. Then he went away.
23 Looking around Jesus said to his disciples: »It is hard for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!«
24 The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus repeated it again: »Children, it is hard to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 »It is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.«
26 They were greatly astonished! So they asked him: »Who can be saved?«
27 Jesus looked at them: »With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.«
28 Peter said to him: »We have left all and followed you.«
29 Jesus said: »Truly I tell you, a man that has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the sake of the good news,
30 will receive a hundred times as much now in this time, and in the age to come everlasting life.
31 »Many that are first will be last and the last first.«
32 Jesus went to Jerusalem. The disciples followed him. They were amazed at what Jesus did. Others followed and were afraid. He met with the twelve to tell them the things that were to happen to him.
33 »When we go to Jerusalem the Son of man will be turned over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the people of the nations.
34 »They will mock him, spit on him, and scourge him. Then they will kill him. After three days he will rise again.«
35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him saying: »Teacher, we want you to do for us what we ask of you.«
36 He asked: »What do you want me to do for you?
37 They said to him: »Allow us to sit next to you in your glory. One could sit on your right hand, and one on your left hand.«
38 »You do not know what you ask,« Jesus replied. »Are you able to drink the cup that I drink? Are you able to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?«
39 They said: »We are able.« Jesus replied: »The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized you will be baptized.
40 »But to sit on my right hand or on my left hand is not mine to give. It is for them for whom it has been prepared.«
41 When the ten heard it they were indignant with James and John.
42 Jesus called them together and said: »You know that those who rule over the nations lord it over them. Their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 »It is not so among you. Whoever would become great among you, shall be your minister servantattendant.
44 »Whoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all.
45 »For the Son of man also came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.«
46 They arrived at Jericho. He left there with his disciples and a large crowd. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the side of the road.
47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he cried: »Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!«
48 Many rebuked him that he should keep quiet. However he cried out even more: »You son of David have mercy on me.«
49 Jesus stood still and said: »You call him.« They called the blind man saying to him, »Be of good cheer: rise, he calls you.«
50 Setting aside his garment, he sprang up, and came to Jesus.
51 Jesus responded to him: »What do you want me to do for you?« The blind man said to him: »Teacher I want to receive my sight!«
52 Jesus told him: »Go your way; your faith has made you whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him in the way.«
