論婚姻

10 耶穌離開那裡,來到猶太地區和約旦河河東岸,人群又聚集到祂那裡。耶穌像往常一樣教導他們。 一些法利賽人想試探耶穌,就來問祂:「男人可以休妻嗎?」 耶穌反問道:「摩西怎麼吩咐你們的?」

他們說:「摩西准許人寫休書休妻。」

耶穌說:「摩西因為你們心硬,才給你們寫了這條誡命。 太初創造時,『上帝造了男人和女人。』 『因此,人要離開父母,與妻子結合, 二人成為一體。』這樣,夫妻不再是兩個人,而是一體了。 因此,上帝配合的,人不可分開。」

10 回到屋裡後,門徒追問耶穌這件事。 11 耶穌說:「任何人休妻另娶,就是對妻子不忠,是犯通姦罪。 12 同樣,妻子若離棄丈夫另嫁,也是犯通姦罪。」

祝福孩童

13 有人帶著小孩子來要讓耶穌摸一摸,門徒卻責備他們。 14 耶穌看見後很生氣,對門徒說:「讓小孩子到我這裡來,不要阻止他們,因為上帝的國屬於這樣的人。 15 我實在告訴你們,人若不像小孩子一樣接受上帝的國,絕不能進去。」 16 於是,耶穌抱起小孩子,把手按在他們身上,為他們祝福。

永生的代價

17 耶穌正要上路,有一個人跑來跪在祂跟前,問祂:「良善的老師,我該做什麼才能承受永生?」

18 耶穌說:「你為什麼稱呼我『良善的老師』呢?只有上帝是良善的。 19 你知道『不可殺人,不可通姦,不可偷盜,不可作偽證,不可欺詐,要孝敬父母』這些誡命。」

20 那人說:「老師,我從小就遵行這些誡命。」

21 耶穌望著他,心中愛他,便說:「你還有一件事沒有做,就是變賣你所有的產業,送給窮人,你必有財寶存在天上,然後你還要來跟從我。」

22 那人聽了,臉色驟變,便沮喪地走了,因為他有許多產業。 23 耶穌看看周圍的人,對門徒說:「有錢人進上帝的國真難啊!」

24 門徒聽了感到驚奇,耶穌便再次對他們說:「孩子們,[a]進上帝的國多麼難啊! 25 駱駝穿過針眼比有錢人進上帝的國還容易呢!」

26 門徒更加驚奇,便議論說:「這樣,誰能得救呢?」

27 耶穌看著他們說:「對人而言,這不可能,但對上帝而言,凡事都可能。」

28 彼得說:「你看,我們已經撇下一切來跟從你了。」

29 耶穌說:「我實在告訴你們,任何人為了我和福音而撇下房屋、弟兄、姊妹、父母、兒女或田地, 30 今世必在房屋、弟兄、姊妹、父母、兒女或田地方面獲得百倍的回報,來世必得永生。當然他也會受到迫害。 31 然而,許多為首的將要殿後,殿後的將要為首。」

耶穌第三次預言自己的受難

32 在前往耶路撒冷的路上,耶穌走在眾人前面,門徒感到驚奇,其他跟隨的人也很害怕。

耶穌把十二個門徒叫到一旁,再把自己將要遭遇的事告訴他們,說: 33 「聽著,我們現在前往耶路撒冷。人子將被交在祭司長和律法教師的手中,他們要判祂死刑,把祂交給外族人。 34 他們會嘲弄祂,向祂吐唾沫,鞭打祂,殺害祂。但是,三天之後祂必復活!」

雅各與約翰的請求

35 西庇太的兩個兒子雅各和約翰上前對耶穌說:「老師,請你答應我們一個要求。」

36 耶穌問:「什麼要求?」

37 他們說:「在你的榮耀中,求你讓我們一個坐在你右邊,一個坐在你左邊。」

38 耶穌說:「你們不知道自己在求什麼。我要喝的那杯,你們能喝嗎?我要受的洗,你們能受嗎?」

39 他們說:「我們能。」

耶穌說:「我要喝的那杯,你們也要喝;我所受的洗,你們也要受。 40 不過誰坐在我的左右不是我來定,而是為誰預備的,就讓誰坐。」

41 其他十個門徒聽見這事後,很生雅各和約翰的氣。 42 於是,耶穌把他們叫來,對他們說:「你們知道,外族人有君王統治他們,有大臣管理他們, 43 但你們不可這樣。你們中間誰要當首領,誰就要做大家的僕人; 44 誰要居首位,誰就要做大家的奴僕。 45 因為就連人子也不是來受人服侍,而是來服侍人,並且犧牲性命,作許多人的贖價。」

治好瞎子巴底買

46 耶穌和門徒來到耶利哥。當耶穌和門徒及眾人出城的時候,碰到一個瞎眼的乞丐坐在路旁乞討,他的名字叫巴底買,是底買的兒子。 47 巴底買一聽到經過的是拿撒勒人耶穌,就喊道:「大衛的後裔耶穌啊,可憐我吧!」

48 許多人都責備他,叫他不要吵,但他卻更加大聲喊道:「大衛的後裔啊,可憐我吧!」

49 耶穌停下腳步,叫人帶他過來。

他們就對瞎子巴底買說:「好了,起來吧,祂叫你呢。」

50 巴底買丟下外衣,跳了起來,走到耶穌面前。

51 耶穌問他:「你要我為你做什麼?」

瞎子說:「老師,我想能夠看見。」

52 耶穌說:「回去吧!你的信心救[b]了你。」那人立刻得見光明,在路上跟從了耶穌。

  2. 10·52 」或譯「醫治」。

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.

Teaching About Divorce

10 (A)And standing up, He *went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds *gathered around Him again, and, (B)according to His custom, He once more began to teach them.

And some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to [a]divorce a wife. And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?” And they said, “(C)Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and [b]send her away.” But Jesus said to them, [c](D)Because of your hardness of heart he wrote for you this commandment. But (E)from the beginning of creation, God (F)made them male and female. (G)For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother[d], (H)and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

10 And in the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again. 11 And He *said to them, (I)Whoever [e]divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; 12 and (J)if she herself [f]divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”

Jesus Blesses Little Children

13 (K)And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; (L)for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I say to you, (M)whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” 16 And He (N)took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.

The Rich Young Ruler

17 (O)And as He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and (P)knelt before Him, and began asking Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to (Q)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, ‘(R)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, I have kept (S)all these things from my youth up.” 21 And looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have (T)treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22 But at these words [g]he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.

23 And Jesus, looking around, *said to His disciples, (U)How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples (V)were amazed at His words. But Jesus *answered again and *said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 (W)It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were even more astonished, saying to [h]Him, “[i]Then who can be saved?” 27 Looking at them, Jesus *said, (X)With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”

28 (Y)Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You.” 29 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, (Z)there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 [j]except one who will receive one hundred times as much now in [k]the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions—and in (AA)the age to come, eternal life. 31 But (AB)many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”

Jesus Again Foretells His Death and Resurrection

32 (AC)And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they (AD)were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him: 33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and (AE)the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles. 34 And they will mock Him and (AF)spit on Him, and flog Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”

A Request for Status

35 (AG)Then James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, *came up to Jesus, saying to Him, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” 36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 And they said to Him, “[l]Grant that we (AH)may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (AI)to drink the cup that I drink, or (AJ)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, “The cup that I drink (AK)you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. 40 But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; (AL)but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

41 (AM)And hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John. 42 And calling them to Himself, Jesus *said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them. 43 But it is not this way among you, (AN)but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man (AO)did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [m]life a ransom for many.”

Bartimaeus Regains His Sight

46 (AP)Then they *came to Jericho. And (AQ)as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the (AR)Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, (AS)Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “(AT)Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they *called the blind man, saying to him, “(AU)Take courage, get up! He is calling for you.” 50 And throwing off his outer garment, he jumped up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered him and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “[n](AV)Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go; (AW)your faith has [o]saved you.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.
