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.

And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

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

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

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.

Ministère de Jésus en Judée et à Jérusalem

Controverse sur le divorce(A)

10 Jésus partit de là pour se rendre dans la partie de la Judée située de l’autre côté du Jourdain. De nouveau, les foules se rassemblèrent autour de lui et, selon son habitude, il se mit à les enseigner.

Des pharisiens s’approchèrent et lui posèrent une question : Un homme a-t-il le droit de divorcer d’avec sa femme ?

Ils voulaient par là lui tendre un piège.

Il leur répondit : Quel commandement Moïse vous a-t-il donné ?

– Moïse, lui dirent-ils, a permis de divorcer d’avec sa femme, à condition de lui donner un certificat de divorce[a].

Jésus leur répondit : C’est à cause de la dureté de votre cœur que Moïse a écrit ce commandement pour vous. Mais, au commencement de la création, Dieu a créé l’être humain homme et femme[b].

C’est pourquoi l’homme laissera son père et sa mère pour s’attacher à sa femme[c] , et les deux ne feront plus qu’un[d]. Ainsi, ils ne sont plus deux, ils font un. Que l’homme ne sépare donc pas ce que Dieu a uni.

10 De retour à la maison, les disciples l’interrogèrent à nouveau sur ce sujet. 11 Il leur dit : Celui qui divorce et se remarie commet un adultère à l’égard de sa première femme. 12 Et si une femme divorce et se remarie, elle commet un adultère.

Jésus accueille des enfants(B)

13 Des gens amenèrent à Jésus de petits enfants pour qu’il pose les mains sur eux, mais les disciples leur firent des reproches.

14 Jésus le vit, et s’en indigna.

– Laissez donc les petits enfants venir à moi, ne les en empêchez pas, car le royaume de Dieu appartient à ceux qui leur ressemblent. 15 Vraiment, je vous l’assure : celui qui ne reçoit pas le royaume de Dieu comme un petit enfant, n’y entrera pas.

16 Là-dessus, il prit les enfants dans ses bras, posa les mains sur eux et les bénit.

Les riches et le royaume(C)

17 Comme il partait, un homme accourut, se jeta à genoux devant lui et lui demanda : Bon Maître, que dois-je faire pour obtenir la vie éternelle ?

18 – Pourquoi m’appelles-tu bon ? lui répondit Jésus. Personne n’est bon, sinon Dieu seul. 19 Tu connais les commandements : Ne commets pas de meurtre ; ne commets pas d’adultère ; ne commets pas de vol ; ne porte pas de faux témoignage ; ne fais de tort à personne ; honore ton père et ta mère[e].

20 – Maître, répondit l’homme, tout cela je l’ai appliqué depuis ma jeunesse.

21 Jésus posa sur cet homme un regard plein d’amour et lui dit : Il ne te manque qu’une chose : va, vends tout ce que tu possèdes, donne le produit de la vente aux pauvres et tu auras un trésor dans le ciel. Puis viens et suis-moi !

22 En entendant ces paroles, l’homme s’assombrit et s’en alla tout triste, car il était très riche.

23 Jésus parcourut du regard le cercle de ses disciples, puis il leur dit : Qu’il est difficile à ceux qui ont des richesses d’entrer dans le royaume de Dieu !

24 Cette parole les surprit, mais Jésus insista : Oui, mes enfants, qu’il est difficile[f] d’entrer dans le royaume de Dieu. 25 Il est plus facile à un chameau de passer par le trou d’une aiguille qu’à un riche d’entrer dans le royaume de Dieu !

26 Les disciples furent encore plus étonnés, et ils se demandaient entre eux : Mais alors, qui peut être sauvé ?

27 Jésus les regarda et leur dit : Aux hommes c’est impossible, mais non à Dieu. Car tout est possible à Dieu.

28 Alors Pierre lui dit : Nous, nous avons tout quitté pour te suivre.

Jésus répondit : 29 Vraiment, je vous l’assure : si quelqu’un quitte, à cause de moi et de l’Evangile, sa maison, ses frères, ses sœurs, sa mère, son père, ses enfants ou ses terres, 30 il recevra cent fois plus dès à présent : des maisons, des frères, des sœurs, des mères, des enfants, des terres, avec des persécutions ; et, dans le monde à venir, la vie éternelle. 31 Mais beaucoup de ceux qui sont maintenant les premiers seront parmi les derniers, et beaucoup de ceux qui sont maintenant les derniers seront parmi les premiers.

Ce qui attend Jésus à Jérusalem(D)

32 Ils étaient en route pour monter à Jérusalem. Jésus marchait en tête. L’angoisse s’était emparée des disciples et ceux qui les suivaient étaient dans la crainte.

Jésus prit de nouveau les Douze à part, et il se mit à leur dire ce qui allait arriver : 33 Voici, nous montons à Jérusalem. Le Fils de l’homme y sera livré aux chefs des prêtres et aux spécialistes de la Loi. Ils le condamneront à mort et le remettront entre les mains des païens. 34 Ils se moqueront de lui, lui cracheront au visage, le battront à coups de fouet et le mettront à mort. Puis, au bout de trois jours, il ressuscitera.

Grandeur et service(E)

35 Alors Jacques et Jean, les fils de Zébédée, s’approchèrent de Jésus et lui dirent : Maître, nous désirons que tu fasses pour nous ce que nous allons te demander.

36 – Que désirez-vous que je fasse pour vous ? leur demanda-t-il.

37 Ils répondirent : Accorde-nous de siéger l’un à ta droite et l’autre à ta gauche lorsque tu seras dans la gloire.

38 Mais Jésus leur dit : Vous ne vous rendez pas compte de ce que vous demandez ! Pouvez-vous boire la coupe que je vais boire, ou passer par le baptême que j’aurai à subir ?

39 – Oui, lui répondirent-ils, nous le pouvons.

Alors Jésus reprit : Vous boirez en effet la coupe que je vais boire, et vous subirez le baptême par lequel je vais passer, 40 mais quant à siéger à ma droite ou à ma gauche, il ne m’appartient pas de vous l’accorder : ces places reviendront à ceux pour qui elles ont été préparées.

41 En entendant cela, les dix autres s’indignèrent contre Jacques et Jean.

42 Alors Jésus les appela tous auprès de lui et leur dit : Vous savez ce qui se passe dans les nations : ceux que l’on considère comme les chefs politiques dominent sur leurs peuples et les grands personnages font peser leur autorité sur eux. 43 Il ne doit pas en être ainsi parmi vous. Au contraire : si quelqu’un veut être grand parmi vous, qu’il soit votre serviteur, 44 et si quelqu’un veut être le premier parmi vous, qu’il soit l’esclave de tous. 45 Car le Fils de l’homme n’est pas venu pour se faire servir, mais pour servir et donner sa vie en rançon pour beaucoup.

La guérison d’un aveugle(F)

46 Ils arrivèrent à Jéricho. Jésus et ses disciples sortaient de la ville, accompagnés d’une foule nombreuse.

Bartimée, fils de Timée, un mendiant aveugle, était assis au bord du chemin. 47 Lorsqu’il entendit que c’était Jésus de Nazareth, il se mit à crier : Jésus, Fils de David, aie pitié de moi !

48 Mais beaucoup le rabrouaient pour le faire taire.

Lui, cependant, criait de plus belle : Fils de David, aie pitié de moi !

49 Jésus s’arrêta et dit : Appelez-le !

On appela l’aveugle en lui disant : Courage, lève-toi, il t’appelle.

50 A ces mots, il jeta son manteau, se leva d’un bond et vint vers Jésus.

51 Jésus lui dit : Que veux-tu que je fasse pour toi ?

– Maître, lui répondit l’aveugle, fais que je puisse voir !

52 – Va, lui dit Jésus. Parce que tu as cru en moi, tu es guéri[g].

Aussitôt, il recouvra la vue et suivit Jésus sur le chemin.

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)

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

“What did Moses command you?” he replied.

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

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

Teaching About Divorce

10 (A)And he left there and went (B)to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again. And again, as was his custom, he taught them.

And Pharisees came up and in order (C)to test him asked, (D)“Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” They said, (E)“Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.” And Jesus said to them, “Because of your (F)hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But (G)from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them (H)male and female.’ (I)‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,[a] and (J)the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. (K)What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

10 And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 And he said to them, (L)“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, 12 and (M)if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

Let the Children Come to Me

13 (N)And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples (O)rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, (P)“Let the children come to me; (Q)do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 (R)Truly, I say to you, whoever does not (S)receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” 16 And (T)he took them in his arms and blessed them, (U)laying his hands on them.

The Rich Young Man

17 (V)And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and (W)knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to (X)inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: (Y)‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 20 And he said to him, “Teacher, (Z)all these I have kept from my youth.” 21 And Jesus, (AA)looking at him, (AB)loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, (AC)sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have (AD)treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 (AE)Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23 And Jesus (AF)looked around and said to his disciples, (AG)“How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter (AH)the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples (AI)were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, (AJ)“Children, (AK)how difficult it is[b] to enter (AL)the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter (AM)the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him,[c] “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus (AN)looked at them and said, (AO)“With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” 28 Peter began to say to him, “See, (AP)we have left everything and followed you.” 29 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, (AQ)there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and (AR)for the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold (AS)now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, (AT)with persecutions, and in (AU)the age to come eternal life. 31 But (AV)many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

32 (AW)And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and (AX)Jesus was walking ahead of them. And (AY)they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, 33 saying, “See, (AZ)we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will (BA)condemn him to death and (BB)deliver him over to the Gentiles. 34 And they will (BC)mock him and (BD)spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And (BE)after three days he will rise.”

The Request of James and John

35 (BF)And James and John, (BG)the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us (BH)whatever we ask of you.” 36 And he said to them, (BI)“What do you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said to him, “Grant us (BJ)to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, (BK)in your glory.” 38 Jesus said to them, (BL)“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (BM)to drink the cup that I drink, or (BN)to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39 And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, (BO)“The cup that I drink (BP)you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, (BQ)you will be baptized, 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, (BR)but it is for those for whom it has been (BS)prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 (BT)And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles (BU)lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But (BV)it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,[d] 44 and whoever would be first among you must be (BW)slave[e] of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but (BX)to serve, and (BY)to give his life as a ransom for (BZ)many.”

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

46 (CA)And they came to Jericho. And (CB)as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, (CC)a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was (CD)Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many (CE)rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, (CF)“Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his (CG)cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, (CH)“What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, (CI)“Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; (CJ)your faith has (CK)made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.
