Chapter 10
|
1
|
And 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? |
27
|
And 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. |
