| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then Jesus left that place and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan River. Again crowds gathered to him, and again, as was his custom, he taught them. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Then some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He answered them, "What did Moses command you?" |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But Jesus said to them, "He wrote this commandment for you because of your hard hearts. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6But from the beginning of creation he made them male and female. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10In the house once again, the disciples asked him about this. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11So he told them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Now people were bringing little children to him for him to touch, but the disciples scolded those who brought them. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15I tell you the truth, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16After he took the children in his arms, he placed his hands on them and blessed them. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Now as Jesus was starting out on his way, someone ran up to him, fell on his knees, and said, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.'" |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The man said to him, "Teacher, I have wholeheartedly obeyed all these laws since my youth." |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for him and said, "You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22But at this statement, the man looked sad and went away sorrowful, for he was very rich. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24The disciples were astonished at these words. But again Jesus said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26They were even more astonished and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?" |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Jesus looked at them and replied, "This is impossible for mere humans, but not for God; all things are possible for God." |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Peter began to speak to him, "Look, we have left everything to follow you!" |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30who will not receive in this age a hundred times as much--homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, fields, all with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31But many who are first will be last, and the last first." |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33"Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and experts in the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34They will mock him, spit on him, flog him severely, and kill him. Yet after three days, he will rise again." |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask." |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37They said to him, "Permit one of us to sit at your right hand and the other at your left in your glory." |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I experience?" |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39They said to him, "We are able." Then Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I experience, |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give. It is for those for whom it has been prepared." |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Now when the other ten heard this, they became angry with James and John. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42Jesus called them and said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43But it is not this way among you. Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of all. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46They came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48Many scolded him to get him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man and said to him, "Have courage! Get up! He is calling you." |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50He threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51Then Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied, "Rabbi, let me see again." |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52Jesus said to him, "Go, your faith has healed you." Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the road. |
