Markus 10
Hoffnung für Alle
Auf dem Weg nach Jerusalem (Kapitel 10)
Die Frage nach der Ehescheidung (Matthäus 19,1‒9)
10 Dann zog Jesus von Kapernaum in das Gebiet von Judäa östlich des Jordan. Wieder strömten die Menschen zusammen, und wie immer lehrte er sie. 2 Da kamen einige Pharisäer zu Jesus, weil sie ihm eine Falle stellen wollten. Sie fragten ihn: »Darf sich ein Mann von seiner Frau scheiden lassen?«
3 Jesus fragte zurück: »Was hat Mose denn im Gesetz vorgeschrieben?« 4 Sie antworteten: »Mose hat erlaubt, dass ein Mann seiner Frau eine Scheidungsurkunde schreiben und sie dann wegschicken kann.«[a]
5 Jesus entgegnete: »Das war nur ein Zugeständnis an euer hartes Herz. 6 Aber Gott hat die Menschen von Anfang an als Mann und Frau geschaffen. 7 ›Darum verlässt ein Mann seine Eltern und verbindet sich so eng mit seiner Frau, 8 dass die beiden eins sind mit Leib und Seele.‹[b] Sie sind also eins und nicht länger zwei voneinander getrennte Menschen. 9 Und was Gott zusammengefügt hat, das soll der Mensch nicht scheiden.«
10 Als sie wieder im Haus waren, wollten seine Jünger noch mehr darüber hören. 11 Jesus sagte ihnen: »Wer sich von seiner Frau trennt und eine andere heiratet, der begeht Ehebruch seiner ersten Frau gegenüber. 12 Auch eine Frau bricht die Ehe, wenn sie sich von ihrem Mann trennt und einen anderen heiratet.«
Jesus und die Kinder (Matthäus 19,13‒15; Lukas 18,15‒17)
13 Einige Eltern brachten ihre Kinder zu Jesus, damit er ihnen die Hände auflegte. Aber die Jünger fuhren sie an und wollten sie wegschicken. 14 Als Jesus das merkte, war er empört: »Lasst die Kinder zu mir kommen und haltet sie nicht zurück, denn Menschen wie ihnen gehört Gottes Reich. 15 Ich versichere euch: Wer sich Gottes Reich nicht wie ein Kind schenken lässt, der wird ganz sicher nicht hineinkommen.« 16 Dann nahm er die Kinder in seine Arme, legte ihnen die Hände auf und segnete sie.
Die Reichen und das Reich Gottes (Matthäus 19,16‒30; Lukas 18,18‒30)
17 Als Jesus weitergehen wollte, lief ein Mann auf ihn zu, warf sich vor ihm auf die Knie und fragte: »Guter Lehrer, was muss ich tun, um das ewige Leben zu bekommen?« 18 Jesus entgegnete: »Weshalb nennst du mich gut? Es gibt nur einen, der gut ist, und das ist Gott. 19 Du kennst doch seine Gebote: Du sollst nicht töten! Du sollst nicht die Ehe brechen! Du sollst nicht stehlen! Sag nichts Unwahres über deinen Mitmenschen! Du sollst nicht betrügen! Ehre deinen Vater und deine Mutter!«[c]
20 »Lehrer«, antwortete der junge Mann, »an all das habe ich mich von Jugend an gehalten.« 21 Jesus sah ihn voller Liebe an: »Etwas fehlt dir noch: Geh, verkaufe alles, was du hast, und gib das Geld den Armen. Damit wirst du im Himmel einen Reichtum gewinnen, der niemals verloren geht. Und dann komm und folge mir nach!« 22 Als er das hörte, war der Mann tief betroffen. Traurig ging er weg, denn er besaß ein großes Vermögen.
23 Da schaute Jesus seine Jünger an und sagte zu ihnen: »Wie schwer ist es doch für Menschen, die viel besitzen, in Gottes Reich zu kommen!« 24 Seine Jünger waren über diese Worte erschrocken, aber Jesus betonte noch einmal: »Ja, ihr Lieben, wie schwer ist es doch, in Gottes Reich zu gelangen! 25 Eher geht ein Kamel durch ein Nadelöhr, als dass ein Reicher in Gottes Reich kommt.« 26 Darüber waren die Jünger noch mehr entsetzt, und sie fragten sich: »Wer kann dann überhaupt gerettet werden?« 27 Jesus sah sie an und sagte: »Für Menschen ist es unmöglich, aber nicht für Gott. Für ihn ist alles möglich!«
28 Jetzt fragte Petrus: »Aber wie ist es nun mit uns? Wir haben doch alles aufgegeben und sind mit dir gegangen.« 29 Jesus antwortete: »Ich versichere euch: Jeder, der sein Haus, seine Geschwister, seine Eltern, seine Kinder oder seinen Besitz zurücklässt, um mir zu folgen und die rettende Botschaft von Gott weiterzusagen, 30 der wird schon hier auf dieser Erde alles hundertfach zurückerhalten: Häuser, Geschwister, Mütter, Kinder und Besitz. All dies wird ihm – wenn auch mitten unter Verfolgungen – gehören und außerdem in der zukünftigen Welt das ewige Leben. 31 Viele, die jetzt einen großen Namen haben, werden dann unbedeutend sein. Und andere, die heute die Letzten sind, werden dort zu den Ersten gehören.«
Jesus kündigt zum dritten Mal seinen Tod und seine Auferstehung an (Matthäus 20,17‒19; Lukas 18,31‒34)
32 Auf dem Weg nach Jerusalem ging Jesus seinen Jüngern voran. Die Jünger waren beunruhigt, und auch die anderen Menschen, die ihnen folgten, hatten Angst. Unterwegs nahm Jesus seine zwölf Jünger beiseite und sprach noch einmal darüber, was ihn erwartete. 33 »Wir gehen jetzt nach Jerusalem. Dort wird der Menschensohn den obersten Priestern und den Schriftgelehrten ausgeliefert werden. Man wird ihn zum Tode verurteilen und denen übergeben, die Gott nicht kennen. 34 Die werden ihren Spott mit ihm treiben, ihn anspucken, auspeitschen und töten. Aber am dritten Tag wird er von den Toten auferstehen.«
Streit um die besten Plätze (Matthäus 20,20‒28; Lukas 22,24‒27)
35 Jakobus und Johannes, die Söhne von Zebedäus, gingen zu Jesus und sagten: »Lehrer, wir möchten, dass du uns eine Bitte erfüllst.« 36 »Was wollt ihr?«, fragte Jesus. 37 Sie antworteten: »Wenn deine Herrschaft begonnen hat, dann gewähre uns die Ehrenplätze rechts und links neben dir!«
38 Jesus entgegnete: »Ihr wisst ja gar nicht, was ihr euch da wünscht! Denn auf mich wartet schweres Leid. Meint ihr, ihr könnt den bitteren Kelch trinken, so wie ich es tun muss? Oder könnt ihr die Taufe ertragen, die mir bevorsteht?[d]« 39 »Ja, das können wir!«, antworteten sie. Darauf erwiderte ihnen Jesus: »Ihr werdet tatsächlich so wie ich leiden und euer Leben hingeben müssen. 40 Aber trotzdem kann ich nicht bestimmen, wer einmal die Plätze rechts und links neben mir einnehmen wird. Das hat bereits Gott entschieden.«
41 Die anderen zehn Jünger hatten das Gespräch mit angehört und waren empört über Jakobus und Johannes. 42 Da rief Jesus alle zusammen und sagte: »Ihr wisst, wie die Großen und Mächtigen dieser Welt ihre Völker unterdrücken. Wer die Macht hat, nutzt sie rücksichtslos aus. 43 Aber so soll es bei euch nicht sein! Im Gegenteil: Wer groß sein will, der soll den anderen dienen, 44 und wer der Erste sein will, der soll sich allen unterordnen. 45 Denn auch der Menschensohn ist nicht gekommen, um sich bedienen zu lassen. Er kam, um zu dienen und sein Leben als Lösegeld hinzugeben, damit viele Menschen aus der Gewalt des Bösen befreit werden.«
Ein Blinder wird geheilt (Matthäus 20,29‒34; Lukas 18,35‒43)
46 Dann kamen Jesus und seine Jünger nach Jericho. Als sie die Stadt wieder verlassen wollten, folgte ihnen eine große Menschenmenge. An der Straße saß ein Blinder und bettelte. Es war Bartimäus, der Sohn von Timäus. 47 Als er hörte, dass es Jesus aus Nazareth war, der vorbeikam, begann er laut zu rufen: »Jesus, du Sohn Davids, hab Erbarmen mit mir!« 48 Die Leute fuhren ihn an, er solle still sein. Aber er schrie nur noch lauter: »Du Sohn Davids, hab Erbarmen mit mir!«
49 Da blieb Jesus stehen: »Ruft ihn her zu mir.« Ein paar von den Leuten liefen zu dem Blinden und sagten zu ihm: »Nur Mut! Steh auf, Jesus ruft dich!« 50 Da warf er seinen Mantel zur Seite, sprang auf und kam zu Jesus. 51 »Was soll ich für dich tun?«, fragte ihn Jesus. »Rabbi«, flehte ihn der Blinde an, »ich möchte sehen können!« 52 Darauf antwortete Jesus: »Geh! Dein Glaube hat dich geheilt.« Im selben Augenblick konnte der Blinde sehen, und er ging mit Jesus.

Mark 10
New King James Version
Marriage and Divorce(A)
10 Then (B)He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again.
2 (C)The Pharisees came and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” testing Him.
3 And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 They said, (D)“Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her.”
5 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this [a]precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, God (E)‘made them male and female.’ 7 (F)‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
10 In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter. 11 So He said to them, (G)“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children(H)
13 (I)Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for (J)of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, (K)whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will (L)by no means enter it.” 16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.
Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler(M)
17 (N)Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I (O)do that I may inherit eternal life?”
18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, (P)God. 19 You know the commandments: (Q)‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”
20 And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have (R)kept from my youth.”
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, (S)sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have (T)treasure in heaven; and come, (U)take up the cross, and follow Me.”
22 But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
With God All Things Are Possible(V)
23 (W)Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is [b]for those (X)who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a (Y)rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?”
27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not (Z)with God; for with God all things are possible.”
28 (AA)Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”
29 So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother [c]or wife or children or [d]lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, 30 (AB)who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with (AC)persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. 31 (AD)But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection(AE)
32 (AF)Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. (AG)Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him: 33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles; 34 and they will mock Him, and [e]scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”
Greatness Is Serving(AH)
35 (AI)Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”
36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
37 They said to Him, “Grant us that we may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left, in Your glory.”
38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the (AJ)cup that I drink, and be baptized with the (AK)baptism that I am baptized with?”
39 They said to Him, “We are able.”
So Jesus said to them, (AL)“You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized; 40 but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those (AM)for whom it is prepared.”
41 (AN)And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John. 42 But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, (AO)“You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 (AP)Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. 44 And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. 45 For even (AQ)the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and (AR)to give His life a ransom for many.”
Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus(AS)
46 (AT)Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, (AU)Son of David, (AV)have mercy on me!”
48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.
Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.”
50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.
51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
The blind man said to Him, [f]“Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.”
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; (AW)your faith has [g]made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

King James Version
10 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.
