Mark 10

¹And rising up thence, he cometh into the coasts of Jewry beyond Jordan: and the multitudes assemble again unto him. And as he was accustomed, again he taught them.

²And the Pharisees coming near, asked him: Is it lawful for a man to dismiss his wife? Tempting him.

³But he answering, said to them: What did Moyses command you?

⁴Who said: Moyses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to dismiss her.

⁵To whom Jesus answering, said: For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

⁶But from the beginning of the creation God made them male & female.

⁷For this cause, man shall leave his father & mother; and shall cleave to his wife.

⁸And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.

⁹That therefore which God hath joined together, let no man separate.

¹⁰And in the house again his Disciples asked him of the same thing.

¹¹And he saith to them: Whosoever dismisseth his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery upon her.

¹²And if the wife dismiss her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.

¹³And they offered to him young children, that he might touch them. And the Disciples threatened those that offered them.

¹⁴Whom when Jesus saw, he took it ill, and said to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and prohibit them not. For the Kingdom of God is for such.

¹⁵Amen I say to you, whosoever receiveth not the Kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.

¹⁶And embracing them, and imposing hands upon them, he blessed them.

¹⁷And when he was gone forth in the way, a certain man running forth & kneeling before him asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?

¹⁸And Jesus said to him, why callest thou me good? None is good but one, God.

¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments, Commit not adultery, Kill not, Steal not, Bear not false witness, do no fraud, Honour thy father and mother.

²⁰But he answering, said to him: Master all these things I have observed from my youth.

²¹And Jesus beholding him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow me.^†

²²Who being stroken sad at the word, went away sorrowful. For he had many possessions.

²³And Jesus looking about, saith to his Disciples: How hardly shall they that have money, enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁴And the Disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in money, to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁵It is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.

²⁶Who marveled more, saying to themselves: And who can be saved?

²⁷And Jesus beholding them saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God. For all things are possible with God.

²⁸And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.

²⁹Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man which hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands for me and for the Gospel,

³⁰that shall not receive an hundred times so much now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.

³¹But many that are first, shall be last; and the last, first.

³²And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them, and they were astonished; and following were afraid. And taking again the Twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him.

³³That, behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief Priests, and to the Scribes and Ancients, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles.

³⁴and they shall mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.

³⁵And there came to him James and John the sons of Zebedee, saying: Master, we will that what thing soever we shall ask, thou do it to us.

³⁶But he said to them: What will you that I do to you?

³⁷And they said: Grant to us, that we may sit, one on thy right hand & the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

³⁸And Jesus said to them: You wot not what you ask. Can you drink the cup that I drink; or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?

³⁹But they said to him, we can. And Jesus said to them: The cup indeed which I drink, you shall drink; and with the Baptism wherewith I am baptized, shall you be baptized:

⁴⁰but to sit on my right hand or on my left, is not mine to give unto you, but to whom it is prepared.

⁴¹And the ten hearing, began to be displeased at James and John.

⁴²And Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they which seem to rule over the Gentiles, overrule them: and their Princes have power over them.

⁴³But it is not so in you. But whosoever will be greater, shall be your minister;

⁴⁴and whosoever will be first among you, shall be the servant of all.

⁴⁵For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.

⁴⁶And they come to Jericho: and when he departed from Jericho, and his Disciples, and a very great multitude, the son of Timæus, Bar-timæus the blind man, sat by the way side begging.

⁴⁷Who when he had heard, that it is Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry, and to say: Jesus, son of David, have mercy upon me.

⁴⁸And many threatened him, to hold his peace. But he cried much more, Son of David, have mercy upon me.

⁴⁹And Jesus standing still commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort, arise, he calleth thee.

⁵⁰Who casting off his garment leapt up, and came to him.

⁵¹And Jesus answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I do unto thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni, that I may see.

⁵²And Jesus said to him: Go thy ways, thy faith hath made thee safe. And forthwith he saw, and followed him in the way.
