10And he arose from
thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan:
and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them
again. 2 And
the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put
away his wife? tempting him. 3 And
he answered and said unto them, What did
Moses command you? 4 And
they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her
away. 5 And
Jesus answered and said unto them, For the
hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from
the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this
cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they
twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore
God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And
in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11 And
he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away
his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if
a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth
adultery. 13 And
they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples
rebuked those that brought them. 14 But
when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer
the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is
the kingdom of God. 15 Verily
I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child, he shall not enter therein. 16 And
he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. 17 And
when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled
to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal
life? 18 And
Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me
good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19 Thou
knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal,
Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20 And
he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my
youth. 21 Then
Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One
thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross,
and follow me. 22 And
he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And
Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And
the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and
saith unto them, Children, how hard is it
for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 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. 26 And
they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can
be saved?
27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With
men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. 28 Then
Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 And
Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto
you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father,
or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30 But he
shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and
sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in
the world to come eternal life. 31 But many
that are first shall be last; and the last first. 32 And
they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them:
and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took
again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto
him, 33 Saying,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son
of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes;
and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 34 And they
shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall
kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. 35 And
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would
that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. 36 And
he said unto them, What would ye that I should
do for you? 37 They
said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and
the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 38 But
Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye
ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism
that I am baptized with? 39 And
they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye
shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that
I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 40 But to
sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall
be given to them for whom it is prepared. 41 And
when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. 42 But
Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye
know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship
over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43 But so
shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall
be your minister: 44 And whosoever
of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45 For even
the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give
his life a ransom for many. 46 And
they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and
a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the
highway side begging. 47 And
when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say,
Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And
many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a
great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And
Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind
man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 50 And
he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 51 And
Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt
thou that I should do unto thee? The blind
man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 52 And
Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith
hath made thee whole. And immediately he
received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
