| 1 And he arose from thence and cometh into the borders of Judaea and
beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he
was wont, he taught them again. 2 And there came unto him Pharisees, and
asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? trying 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 But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you
this commandment. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, Male and
female made he them. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and shall cleave to his wife; 8 and the two shall become one
flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God
hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house the
disciples asked him again of this matter. 11 And he saith unto them,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery
against her: 12 and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry
another, she committeth adultery. 13 And they were bringing unto him
little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto
them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to
such belongeth the kingdom of God. 15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise
enter therein. 16 And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying
his hands upon them. 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? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest
thou me good? none is good save one, even God. 19 Thou knowest the
commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear
false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother. 20 And he said
unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth. 21 And
Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest:
go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 22 But his countenance fell at
the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that 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 amazed 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 a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be
saved? 27 Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but
not with God: for all things are possible with God. 28 Peter began to say
unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 Jesus said,
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or
sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for
the gospel's sake, 30 but he shall receive a 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 on the
way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were
amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and
began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him,
33 saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall
be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn
him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles: 34 and they shall
mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him;
and after three days he shall rise again. 35 And there come near unto him
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that
thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee. 36 And he said
unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? 37 And they said unto
him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on
thy left hand, in thy glory. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know
not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized
with the baptism that I am baptized with? 39 And they said unto him, We
are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and
with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 40 but to
sit on my right hand or on my left hand is not mine to give; but
it is for them for whom it hath been prepared. 41 And when the ten
heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.
42 And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they
who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their
great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it is not so among you:
but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister; 44 and
whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all. 45 For the
Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give
his life a ransom for many. 46 And they come to Jericho: and as he went
out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of
Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side. 47 And
when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say,
Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many rebuked him, that
he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of
David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him.
And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he
calleth thee. 50 And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to
Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should
do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my
sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee
whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way.
