论离婚

10 后来,耶稣从那里起身,来到犹太地区和约旦河对岸。人群又聚集到他那里,他又照常教导他们。 有些法利赛人前来试探耶稣,问他:“人是否可以休妻呢?” 耶稣回答他们,说:摩西是怎么吩咐你们的?”

他们说:“摩西准许人写一份休书就可以休妻。”

耶稣对他们说:摩西因着你们的心里刚硬,才给你们定下这条诫命。 从创世之初,‘神[a]把人[b]造成男的和女的’[c]

‘为这缘故,
人将离开他的父母,
与妻子结合[d]
两个人就成为一体。’[e]

这样,夫妻不再是两个人,而是一体了。 因此,神所配合的,人不可分开。”

10 进了屋子,门徒们又向耶稣问起这件事。 11 耶稣就说:“如果有人休妻,另娶别人,就是犯通奸罪触犯妻子。 12 女人如果离弃丈夫,另嫁别人,也是犯通奸罪。”

祝福小孩子

13 有些人把小孩子带到耶稣那里,好让耶稣摸他们一下。门徒们却责备那些人[f] 14 耶稣看见了就很不满,对门徒们说:“让小孩子到我这里来,不要阻止他们,因为神的国正属于这样的人。 15 我确实地告诉你们:无论谁不像小孩子一样接受神的国,就绝不能进去。” 16 于是,他把孩子们搂在怀中,按手在他们身上,祝福了他们。

富有的青年官员

17 耶稣刚出门上路,有一个人跑过去向他跪下,问他:“良善的老师,我该做什么才能继承永恒的生命呢?”

18 耶稣对他说:“你为什么称我是良善的呢?除了神一位之外,没有一个是良善的。 19 你是知道这些诫命的:

‘不可杀人、
不可通奸、
不可偷窃、
不可做伪证、
不可亏负人、
要孝敬父母。’[g]

20 那个人对耶稣说:“老师,这一切我从年少就遵守了。”

21 耶稣注视着他,就爱他,对他说:“你还缺少一件:去卖掉你所拥有的,分给穷人,这样你将有财宝在天上;然后你[h]来跟从我。” 22 那个人因这话,脸色就变得阴沉,忧忧愁愁地走开了,因为他有很多财产。

财富与天国

23 耶稣环视周围,对他的门徒们说:“有钱财的人进入神的国,是多么困难!” 24 门徒们因这些话,就惊讶不已。耶稣又对他们说:“孩子们,[i]进入神的国是多么困难! 25 骆驼穿过针眼,比富有的人进入神的国更容易呢!”

26 门徒们越发惊讶,彼此说:“那么,谁能得救呢?”

27 耶稣注视着他们,说:“在人不可能,但在神却不然;因为在神,凡事都可能。”

28 彼得就对耶稣说:“看,我们舍弃一切跟从了你!”

29 耶稣说:“我确实地告诉你们:无论谁为我的缘故、为福音的缘故而舍弃房屋,或兄弟,或姐妹,或母亲,或父亲,[j]或儿女,或田产, 30 都必定在今世得到百倍,就是房屋、兄弟、姐妹、母亲、儿女和田产,也会有逼迫;但在来世得到永恒的生命。 31 不过许多在前的,将要在后;许多在后的,将要在前。”

第三次预言受难

32 在上耶路撒冷的路途中,耶稣一直走在前头,门徒们惊讶不已,跟着的人也惧怕了。耶稣又把十二使徒[k]带到一边,开始告诉他们将要发生在他身上的事, 33 说:“看,我们现在上耶路撒冷去,人子将被出卖给祭司长们和经文士们。他们要定他死罪,并且要把他交给外邦人。 34 他们要戏弄他、向他吐唾沫、鞭打他,并杀害他;然后在第三天[l],他要复活。”

受苦与服事

35 这时候,西庇太的儿子雅各约翰来到耶稣面前,说:“老师,如果我们向你求什么,希望你为我们成全。”

36 耶稣问他们:“要我为你们做什么呢?”

37 他们说:“请准许我们在你的荣耀里,一个坐在你的右边,一个坐在你的[m]左边。”

38 耶稣就说:“你们不知道自己在求什么。我所喝的杯,你们能喝吗?我所受的洗礼,你们能受吗?”

39 他们回答说:“我们能。”

耶稣就说:“我所喝的杯你们将要喝,我所受的洗礼你们将要受。 40 但是坐在我的右边或左边,不是我所赐的,而是已经预备给谁,就赐给谁。” 41 其他十个使徒听了,就开始对雅各约翰很不满。

42 于是耶稣把他们召来,对他们说:“你们知道,外邦人有所谓为首的压制他们,也有为大的管辖他们。 43 但你们当中却不是这样;相反,无论谁想在你们当中为大,谁就该做你们的仆人; 44 无论谁想在你们当中为首,谁就该做大家的奴仆。 45 要知道,就是人子来,也不是为了受人的服事,而是为了服事人,并且献上自己的生命,替许多人做救赎的代价。”

治愈耶利哥的盲人

46 他们来到了耶利哥。当耶稣与他的门徒们和一大群人要离开那里的时候,有一个瞎眼的乞丐坐在路边,他是提迈的儿子巴提迈 47 他一听说是拿撒勒人耶稣,就开始呼叫说:“大卫的后裔[n]——耶稣,可怜我吧!” 48 许多人责备他,叫他不要做声。可是他更加大声呼叫:“大卫的后裔[o],可怜我吧!”

49 耶稣就停住,说:“叫他过来吧。”

他们就叫那瞎眼的说:“鼓起勇气吧!起来,他叫你呢。” 50 他就丢下外衣跳起来,来到耶稣面前。

51 耶稣问他说:“你要我为你做什么呢?”

那瞎眼的说:“拉波尼[p],我要重见光明!”

52 耶稣对他说:“你去吧!你的信救了你。”他立刻重见光明,于是一路跟随了耶稣。

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.

(C)The Pharisees came and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” testing Him.

And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”

They said, (D)“Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her.

And Jesus answered and said to them, “Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this [a]precept. But from the beginning of the creation, God (E)‘made them male and female.’ (F)‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 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.

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.
