*
Then He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan .
And multitudes gathered to Him again ,
and as He was accustomed ,
He taught them again .
*
The Pharisees came and asked Him , "
Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife ?"
testing Him .
*
And He answered and said to them , "
What did Moses command you ?"
*
They said , "
Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce ,
and to dismiss her ."
*
And Jesus answered and said to them , "
Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept .
*
But from the beginning of the creation ,
God "
made them male and female .'
* "
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife ,
*
and the two shall become one flesh ';
so then they are no longer two ,
but one flesh .
*
Therefore what God has joined together ,
let not man separate ."
*
In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter .
*
So He said to them , "
Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her .
*
And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another ,
she commits adultery ."
*
Then they brought little children to Him ,
that He might touch them ;
but the disciples rebuked those who brought them .
*
But when Jesus saw it ,
He was greatly displeased and said to them , "
Let the little children come to Me ,
and do not forbid them ;
for of such is the kingdom of God .
*
Assuredly ,
I say to you ,
whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it ."
*
And He took them up in His arms ,
laid His hands on them ,
and blessed them .
*
Now as He was going out on the road ,
one came running ,
knelt before Him ,
and asked Him , "
Good Teacher ,
what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life ?"
*
So Jesus said to him , "
Why do you call Me good ?
No one is good but One ,
that is ,
God .
*
You know the commandments : "
Do not commit adultery ,' "
Do not murder ,' "
Do not steal ,' "
Do not bear false witness ,' "
Do not defraud ,' "
Honor your father and your mother ."'
*
And he answered and said to Him , "
Teacher ,
all these things I have kept from my youth ."
*
Then Jesus ,
looking at him ,
loved him ,
and said to him , "
One thing you lack :
Go your way ,
sell whatever you have and give to the poor ,
and you will have treasure in heaven ;
and come ,
take up the cross ,
and follow Me ."
*
But he was sad at this word ,
and went away sorrowful ,
for he had great possessions .
*
Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples , "
How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God !"
*
And the disciples were astonished at His words .
But Jesus answered again and said to them , "
Children ,
how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God !
*
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God ."
*
And they were greatly astonished ,
saying among themselves , "
Who then can be saved ?"
*
But Jesus looked at them and said , "
With men it is impossible ,
but not with God ;
for with God all things are possible ."
*
Then Peter began to say to Him , "
See ,
we have left all and followed You ."
*
So Jesus answered and said , "
Assuredly ,
I say to you ,
there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands ,
for My sake and the gospel '
s ,
*
who shall not receive a hundredfold 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 .
*
But many who are first will be last ,
and the last first ."
*
Now they were on the road ,
going up to Jerusalem ,
and Jesus was going before them ;
and they were amazed .
And as they followed they were afraid .
Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would 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 deliver Him to the Gentiles ;
*
and they will mock Him ,
and scourge Him ,
and spit on Him ,
and kill Him .
And the third day He will rise again ."
*
Then James and John ,
the sons of Zebedee ,
came to Him ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
we want You to do for us whatever we ask ."
*
And He said to them , "
What do you want Me to do for you ?"
*
They said to Him , "
Grant us that we may sit ,
one on Your right hand and the other on Your left ,
in Your glory ."
*
But Jesus said to them , "
You do not know what you ask .
Are you able to drink the cup that I drink ,
and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ?"
*
They said to Him , "
We are able ."
So Jesus said to them , "
You will indeed drink the cup that I drink ,
and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized ;
*
but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give ,
but it is for those for whom it is prepared ."
*
And when the ten heard it ,
they began to be greatly displeased with James and John .
*
But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them , "
You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them ,
and their great ones exercise authority over them .
*
Yet 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 be first 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 a ransom for many ."
*
Now they came to Jericho .
As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude ,
blind Bartimaeus ,
the son of Timaeus ,
sat by the road begging .
*
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth ,
he began to cry out and say , "
Jesus ,
Son of David ,
have mercy on me !"
*
Then many warned him to be quiet ;
but he cried out all the more , "
Son of David ,
have mercy on me !"
*
So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called .
Then they called the blind man ,
saying to him , "
Be of good cheer .
Rise ,
He is calling you ."
*
And throwing aside his garment ,
he rose and came to Jesus .
*
So Jesus answered and said to him , "
What do you want Me to do for you ?"
The blind man said to Him , "
Rabboni ,
that I may receive my sight ."
*
Then Jesus said to him , "
Go your way ;
your faith has made you well ."
And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road .
