10:1 And he arose from there and comes into the borders of Judaea by the other side of the Jordan and crowds come together to him again; and as he was accustomed, he taught them again. 10:2 And there came to him Pharisees and asked him, testing him, Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?

10:3 And he answered and said to them, What did Moses command you*? {Dt. 24:1}

10:4 And they said, Moses permitted us to write a document of divorcement and to divorce her.

10:5 And Jesus answering, said to them, He wrote this commandment for you*, FOR your* hardness of heart. 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. 10:7 Because of this, a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife; 10:8 and the two will become one flesh: so-that they are no more two, but one flesh. 10:9 What therefore God has yoked together, do not let man separate. 10:10 And in the house his disciples asked him again about the same thing. 10:11 And he says to them, Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, is committing adultery against her: 10:12 and if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she is committing adultery.



(Mk 10:13-16 & Mt 19:13-15 & Lk 18:15-17) Paraea

10:13 And they were bringing to him little children, that he might touch them: but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, Allow the little children to come to me; and do not forbid them: for* of such is the kingdom of God. 10:15 Truly I say to you*, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he will by no means enter into it. 10:16 And he, having taken them in his arms and laying his hands upon them, blessed them.



(Mk 10:17-31 & Mt 19:16-20:16 & Lk 18:18-30) Paraea

10:17 And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him and kneeled to him and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 10:18 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? None is good except one, even God. 10:19 You know the commandments, 'Do not commit adultery. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not falsely testify. Do not defraud. Honor your father and mother.' {Ex. 20:12-16 & DT. 5:16-20}

10:20 And he answering, said to him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth.

10:21 And Jesus looking upon him loved* him and said to him, One thing you are lacking: go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven and come, follow me, taking up your cross. 10:22 But he being dismal at the saying, went away sorrowful: for* he had great possessions.



10:23 And Jesus, having looked around, says to his disciples, How hardly will those who have wealth enter into the kingdom of God! 10:24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answering again, says to them, Children, how hard is it for those who trust in wealth to enter into the kingdom of God! 10:25 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.

10:26 And they were astounded even-more, saying to him, Then who is able to be saved?

10:27 But Jesus looking upon them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for* all things are possible with God.

10:28 Peter began to say to him, Behold, we have left all and have followed you*.

10:29 But Jesus answering, said, Truly I say to you*, There is no one who has left his house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields, because of me and because of the gospel, 10:30 who will not receive a hundred times that now in this time, houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. 10:31 But many who are first will be last; and the last will be first.



(Mk 10:32-45 & Mt 20:17-28 & Lk 18:31-34; Peraea or Judaea, near Jordan)

10:32 And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them and they were amazed; and following, were afraid. And he took again the twelve and began to tell them the things which were about to happen to him, 10:33 saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the high-priests and the scribes; and they will condemn him to death and will deliver him to the Gentiles: 10:34 and they will mock him and will scourge him and will spit upon him and will kill him; and he will rise again on the third day.

10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Teacher, we wish that whatever we ask of you, you would do for us.

10:36 And he said to them, What do you* wish that I should do for you*?

10:37 And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your glory.

10:38 But Jesus said to them, You* do not know what you* ask. Are you* able to drink the cup that I drink? And to be immersed* in the immersion* that I am immersed* in?

10:39 And they said to him, We are able.

And Jesus said to them, Indeed the cup that I drink you* will drink; and with the immersion* that I am immersed* in you* will be immersed*: 10:40 but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it has been prepared. 10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant concerning James and John. 10:42 But Jesus having called them to him, says to them, You* know that those who seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them. 10:43 But it will not so among you*: but whoever wishes to become great among you*, will be your* SERVANT; 10:44 and whoever wishes to become first among you*, will be bondservant of all. 10:45 For* the Son of Man also did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life a redemption for many.



(Mk 10:46-52 & Mt 20:29-34 & Lk 18:35-43; Jericho)

10:46 And they come to Jericho and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was sitting and begging beside the way. 10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me. 10:48 And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, You son of David, have mercy on me. 10:49 And Jesus stood still and asked for him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Have courage: rise, he is calling you*. 10:50 And he, casting away his garment, having rose up, came to Jesus.

10:51 And Jesus answering, says to him, What do you wish that I might do for you?

And the blind man said to him, <15>Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.

10:52 And Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has cured you*. And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the way.
