* And rising up from there , He came into the borders of Judea by the other side of the Jordan . And again crowds came together to Him , and as He usually did , He again taught them . * And coming near , the Pharisees asked Him if it is lawful for a man to put away a wife , testing Him . * But answering , He said to them , What did Moses command you ? * And they said , Moses allowed "to write a bill of divorce , and to put away ." Deuteronomy . strkjv @24:1 * And answering , Jesus said to them , With respect to your hardheartedness he wrote this command to you . * But from the beginning of creation "God made them male and female ." Genesis . strkjv @1:27 * "Because of this , a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife , * and the two shall be one flesh ;" so that they no longer are two , but one flesh . Genesis . strkjv @2:24 * Therefore , what God yoked together , let not man put apart . * And again , in the house His disciples asked Him about the same . * And He said to them , Whoever shall puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery against her . * And if a woman puts away her husband and marries another , she commits adultery . * And they brought children to Him , that He might touch them . But the disciples rebuked those carrying them . * But seeing , Jesus was indignant . And He said to them , Allow the children to come to Me , and do not hinder them . For of such is the kingdom of God . * Truly I say to you , Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a child may in no way enter into it . * And having taken them in His arms , laying hands on them , He blessed them . * And He having gone out into the highway , running up and kneeling down to Him , one questioned Him , Good Teacher , what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life ? * But Jesus said to him , Why do you call Me good ? No one is good except One , God . * You know the commandments : Do not commit adultery , do not commit murder , do not steal , do not bear false witness , do not defraud , honor your father and mother . Ex . strkjv @20:12-16 * And answering , he said to Him , Teacher , I observed all these from my youth . * And looking at him , Jesus loved him , and said to him , One thing is lacking to you . Go , sell what things you have , and give to the poor . And you will have treasure in Heaven . And come , follow Me , taking up the cross . * But being sad at the word , he went away grieving ; for he had many possessions . * And looking around , Jesus said to His disciples , How hardly those having riches will enter into the kingdom of God ! * And the disciples were astonished at His words . And answering again , Jesus said to them , Children , how hard it is for those trusting on riches to enter into the kingdom of God ! * It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle , than for a rich one to enter into the kingdom of God . * And they were exceedingly astonished , saying to themselves , And who is able to be saved ? * But looking at them , Jesus said , From men it is impossible , but not from God . For all things are possible from God . * And Peter began to say to Him , Behold , we left all and followed You . * But answering , Jesus said , Truly I say to you , There is no one who forsook house , or brothers , or sisters , or father , or mother , or wife , or children , or lands , for My sake and the gospel , * that will not receive a hundredfold now in this time , houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children , and lands , with persecutions ; and in the coming age , eternal life . * But many first shall be last , and the last shall be first . * And they were in the highway , going up to Jerusalem . And Jesus was going before them , and following they were astonished and were afraid . And taking the Twelve again , He began to tell them the things about to happen to Him : * Behold , we are going up to Jerusalem . And the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes . And they will condemn Him to death and will betray Him to the nations . * And they will mock Him and will flog Him and will spit at Him , and will kill Him . And on the third day He will rise again . * And coming up to Him , James and John , the sons of Zebedee , said , Teacher , we desire that whatever we may ask You would do for us . * And He said to them , What do you desire for Me to do for you ? * And they said to Him , Give us that we may sit one off the right of You and one off the left of You in Your glory . * But Jesus said to them , You do not know what you ask . Are you able to drink the cup which I drink , and to be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with ? * And they said to Him , We are able . But Jesus said to them , Indeed you will drink the cup which I drink , and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized . * But to sit off My right and off My left is not Mine to give , but for whom it has been prepared . * And hearing , the ten began to be indignant about James and John . * But having called them near , Jesus said to them , You know that those seeming to rule the nations lord it over them , and their great ones exercise authority over them . * But it shall not be so among you , but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant . * And whoever of you desires to become first , he shall be slave of all . * For even the Son of man did not come to be served , but to serve , and to give His life as a ransom for many . * And they came to Jericho . And He and His disciples and a large crowd going out from Jericho , a son of Timaeus , Bartimaeus the blind , sat beside the highway begging . * And hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene , he began to cry out and to say , Son of David , Jesus , have mercy on me ! * And many warned him that he be quiet . But he much more cried out , Son of David , have mercy on me ! * And standing still , Jesus said for him to be called . And they called the blind one , saying to him , Be comforted , rise up , He calls you . * And throwing away his garment , rising up , he came to Jesus . * And answering , Jesus said to him , What do you desire I should do to you ? And the blind one said to Him , My Lord , that I may see again . * And Jesus said to him , Go , your faith has healed you . And instantly he saw again , and followed Jesus in the highway .
