Mark 10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Goes Into Judea. The Crowds Come To Him And He Teaches Them

10 And having arisen, He goes from there into the districts[a] of Judea and beyond the Jordan. And crowds again are coming-together to Him. And as He was accustomed, He again was teaching them.

Pharisees Test Jesus With a Question About Divorce. Divorce Is Not God’s Plan

2 And Pharisees having come to Him were asking Him if it is lawful for a husband to send-away[b] a wife— testing Him. 3 And the One, having responded, said to them, “What did Moses command you?” 4 And the ones said, “Moses permitted us to write a certificate[c] of divorce and send her away”. 5 But Jesus said to them, “He wrote this commandment to you because-of your hardness-of-heart. 6 But from the beginning of creation, ‘He made them male and female’ [Gen 1:27]. 7 ‘For this[d] reason, a man will leave-behind his father and mother and will be joined[e] to his wife. 8 And the two will be one flesh’ [Gen 2:24]. So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God paired-together[f], let a person[g] not separate”. 10 And the disciples were questioning Him again about this in the house, 11 and He says to them, “Whoever sends-away his wife and marries another is committing-adultery against her. 12 And if she, having sent-away her husband, marries another, she is committing-adultery”.

Jesus Blesses The Children. Of Such Is The Kingdom of God

13 And they were bringing children to Him in order that He might touch them. But the disciples rebuked them[h]. 14 But Jesus, having seen it, was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to be coming to Me. Do not be forbidding them. For the kingdom of God is of [i] such ones. 15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never[j] enter into it”. 16 And having taken them in His arms, He was blessing[k] them, while laying His hands on them.

A Rich Man Asks What To Do To Enter Heaven. Sell Everything And Follow Me

17 And while He was proceeding out on the road[l], one having run up and knelt-before Him was asking Him, “Good Teacher, what should I do in order that I may inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One— God. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit-adultery, do not steal, do not give-false-testimony, do not defraud, be honoring your father and mother’” 20 And the one said to Him, “Teacher, I kept these all from my youth”. 21 And Jesus, having looked at him, loved him. And He said to him, “One thing is lacking as to you: Go, sell all-that you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And come, be following Me”. 22 But the one, having become downcast at His word, went away grieving. For he was having many properties.

It Is Hard For The Rich To Enter. But All Who Leave Anything Will Inherit More

23 And having looked around, Jesus says to His disciples, “How difficultly the ones having wealth[m] will enter into the kingdom of God”. 24 And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus, having responded again, says to them, “Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 It is easier that a camel go through the hole of the needle[n] than[o] that a rich one enter into the kingdom of God”. 26 And the ones were even more astounded, saying to themselves, “Who indeed can be saved?” 27 Having looked at them, Jesus says, “With humans it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God”. 28 Peter began to say to Him, “Behold— we left everything, and have followed You”. 29 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for the sake of Me and for the sake of the good-news 30 except he receive[p] a hundred-fold now in this time— houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along-with persecutions— and in the coming age, eternal life. 31 But many first ones will be last, and the last ones, first”.

Jesus Predicts His Death And Resurrection For The Third Time

32 And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going-ahead-of them. And they were astonished. And the ones following were fearing. And having again taken aside the twelve, He began to tell them the things going-to happen to Him, 33 that “Behold— we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be handed-over to the chief priests and the scribes. And they will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles. 34 And they will mock Him and spit-on Him and whip Him and kill Him. And after three days, He will rise-up”.

Two Disciples Jockey For Position In The Kingdom. He Says, It Is Not Mine To Give

35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approach Him, saying to Him, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask You”. 36 And the One said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 And the ones said to Him, “Grant to us that we may sit one on Your right side and one on the left side in Your glory”. 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I drink, or to be baptized the baptism which I am baptized?” 39 And the ones said to Him, “We are able”. And Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup which I drink. And you will be baptized the baptism which I am baptized. 40 But the sitting on My right side or on the left side is not Mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared”.

Whoever Wants To Be First Shall Be Your Slave. Even I Came To Serve

41 And having heard-of it, the ten began to be indignant about James and John. 42 And having summoned them, Jesus says to them, “You know that the ones having-the-reputation-of [q] being rulers of the Gentiles are lording-over[r] them, and their great ones are exercising-authority-over[s] them. 43 But it is not so among you. But whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you shall be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many”.

Blind Bartimaeus Calls Upon The Messiah To Heal Him

46 And they come to Jericho. And while He and His disciples and a considerable crowd are proceeding-out from Jericho, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road. 47 And having heard that it was Jesus from-Nazareth, he began to cry-out and say, “Son of David, Jesus, have-mercy-on me”. 48 And many were rebuking him in order that he might keep-silent. But the one was crying-out by much more, “Son of David, have mercy on me”. 49 And having stopped, Jesus said, “Call him”. And they call the blind one, saying to him, “Take-courage, arise, He is calling you!” 50 And the one, having thrown-off his cloak, having jumped-up, came to Jesus. 51 And having responded to him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind one said to Him, “Rabboni[t]— that I may see-again!” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go. Your faith has restored[u] you”. And immediately he saw-again. And he was following Him on the road.

Mark 10
New International Version

Divorce(A)

10 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan.(B) Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.(C)

2 Some Pharisees(D) came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied.

4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”(E)

5 “It was because your hearts were hard(F) that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’[a](G) 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] 8 and the two will become one flesh.’[c](H) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.(I) 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”(J)

The Little Children and Jesus(K)

13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.(L) 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”(M) 16 And he took the children in his arms,(N) placed his hands on them and blessed them.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(O)

17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees(P) before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(Q)

18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[d]”(R)

20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor,(S) and you will have treasure in heaven.(T) Then come, follow me.”(U)

22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich(V) to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[e] to enter the kingdom of God!(W) 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”(X)

26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”(Y)

28 Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”(Z)

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much(AA) in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come(AB) eternal life.(AC) 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”(AD)

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(AE)

32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve(AF) aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33 “We are going up to Jerusalem,”(AG) he said, “and the Son of Man(AH) will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.(AI) They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him(AJ) and kill him.(AK) Three days later(AL) he will rise.”(AM)

The Request of James and John(AN)

35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”

36 “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.

37 They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”(AO)

38 “You don’t know what you are asking,”(AP) Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup(AQ) I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”(AR)

39 “We can,” they answered.

Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,(AS) 40 but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”

41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,(AT) 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,(AU) and to give his life as a ransom for many.”(AV)

Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight(AW)

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,(AX) he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David,(AY) have mercy on me!”

48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man said, “Rabbi,(AZ) I want to see.”

52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.”(BA) Immediately he received his sight and followed(BB) Jesus along the road.
