1AND [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.
2And 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?
3He answered them, What did Moses command you?
4They replied, Moses allowed a man to write a bill of divorce and to put her away.
5But 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.
6But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
7For this reason a man shall leave [behind] his father and his mother {and be} {joined to his wife and cleave closely to her permanently,}
8And the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9What therefore God has united (joined together), let not man separate {or} divide.
10And indoors the disciples questioned Him again about this subject.
11And He said to them, Whoever dismisses (repudiates and divorces) his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;
12And if a woman dismisses (repudiates and divorces) her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.
13And they kept bringing young children to Him that He might touch them, and the disciples were reproving them [for it].
14But 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.
15Truly 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.
16And He took them [the children up one by one] in His arms and [fervently invoked a] blessing, placing His hands upon them.
17And 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]?
18And 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.
19You 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.
20And he replied to Him, Teacher, I have carefully guarded {and} observed all these {and} taken care not to violate them from my boyhood.
21And 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].
22At that saying the man's countenance fell {and} was gloomy, and he went away grieved {and} sorrowing, for he was holding great possessions.
23And 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!
24And 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!
25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26And they were shocked {and} exceedingly astonished, and said to Him {and} {to one another}, Then who can be saved?
27Jesus glanced around at them and said, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.
28Peter 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].
29Jesus 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's
30Who 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.
31But many [who are now] first will be last [then], and many [who are now] last will be first [then].
32They 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,
33[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.
34And 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].
35And 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.
36And He replied to them, What do you desire Me to do for you?
37And 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).
38But 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?
39And 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,
40But 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.
41And when the other ten [apostles] heard it, they began to be indignant with James and John.
42But 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.
43But this is not to be so among you; instead, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant,
44And whoever wishes to be most important {and} first in rank among you must be slave of all.
45For 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.
46Then 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.
47And 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]!
48And 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]!
49And Jesus stopped and said, Call him. And they called the blind man, telling him, Take courage! Get up! He is calling you.
50And throwing off his outer garment, he leaped up and came to Jesus.
51And 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.
52And 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.
