Questione sul divorzio
10 Partito di là, si recò nel territorio della Giudea e oltre il Giordano. La folla accorse di nuovo a lui e di nuovo egli l'ammaestrava, come era solito fare. 2 E avvicinatisi dei farisei, per metterlo alla prova, gli domandarono: «E' lecito ad un marito ripudiare la propria moglie?». 3 Ma egli rispose loro: «Che cosa vi ha ordinato Mosè?». 4 Dissero: «Mosè ha permesso di scrivere un atto di ripudio e di rimandarla». 5 Gesù disse loro: «Per la durezza del vostro cuore egli scrisse per voi questa norma. 6 Ma all'inizio della creazione Dio li creò maschio e femmina; 7 per questo l'uomo lascerà suo padre e sua madre e i due saranno una carne sola. 8 Sicché non sono più due, ma una sola carne. 9 L'uomo dunque non separi ciò che Dio ha congiunto». 10 Rientrati a casa, i discepoli lo interrogarono di nuovo su questo argomento. Ed egli disse: 11 «Chi ripudia la propria moglie e ne sposa un'altra, commette adulterio contro di lei; 12 se la donna ripudia il marito e ne sposa un altro, commette adulterio».
Gesù e i bambini
13 Gli presentavano dei bambini perché li accarezzasse, ma i discepoli li sgridavano. 14 Gesù, al vedere questo, s'indignò e disse loro: «Lasciate che i bambini vengano a me e non glielo impedite, perché a chi è come loro appartiene il regno di Dio. 15 In verità vi dico: Chi non accoglie il regno di Dio come un bambino, non entrerà in esso». 16 E prendendoli fra le braccia e ponendo le mani sopra di loro li benediceva.
L'uomo ricco
17 Mentre usciva per mettersi in viaggio, un tale gli corse incontro e, gettandosi in ginocchio davanti a lui, gli domandò: «Maestro buono, che cosa devo fare per avere la vita eterna?». 18 Gesù gli disse: «Perché mi chiami buono? Nessuno è buono, se non Dio solo. 19 Tu conosci i comandamenti: Non uccidere, non commettere adulterio, non rubare, non dire falsa testimonianza, non frodare, onora il padre e la madre».
20 Egli allora gli disse: «Maestro, tutte queste cose le ho osservate fin dalla mia giovinezza». 21 Allora Gesù, fissatolo, lo amò e gli disse: «Una cosa sola ti manca: và, vendi quello che hai e dàllo ai poveri e avrai un tesoro in cielo; poi vieni e seguimi». 22 Ma egli, rattristatosi per quelle parole, se ne andò afflitto, poiché aveva molti beni.
Il pericolo delle ricchezze
23 Gesù, volgendo lo sguardo attorno, disse ai suoi discepoli: «Quanto difficilmente coloro che hanno ricchezze entreranno nel regno di Dio!». 24 I discepoli rimasero stupefatti a queste sue parole; ma Gesù riprese: «Figlioli, com'è difficile entrare nel regno di Dio! 25 E' più facile che un cammello passi per la cruna di un ago, che un ricco entri nel regno di Dio». 26 Essi, ancora più sbigottiti, dicevano tra loro: «E chi mai si può salvare?». 27 Ma Gesù, guardandoli, disse: «Impossibile presso gli uomini, ma non presso Dio! Perché tutto è possibile presso Dio».
Ricompensa promessa alla rinuncia
28 Pietro allora gli disse: «Ecco, noi abbiamo lasciato tutto e ti abbiamo seguito». 29 Gesù gli rispose: «In verità vi dico: non c'è nessuno che abbia lasciato casa o fratelli o sorelle o madre o padre o figli o campi a causa mia e a causa del vangelo, 30 che non riceva gia al presente cento volte tanto in case e fratelli e sorelle e madri e figli e campi, insieme a persecuzioni, e nel futuro la vita eterna. 31 E molti dei primi saranno ultimi e gli ultimi i primi».
Terzo annunzio della passione
32 Mentre erano in viaggio per salire a Gerusalemme, Gesù camminava davanti a loro ed essi erano stupiti; coloro che venivano dietro erano pieni di timore. Prendendo di nuovo in disparte i Dodici, cominciò a dir loro quello che gli sarebbe accaduto: 33 «Ecco, noi saliamo a Gerusalemme e il Figlio dell'uomo sarà consegnato ai sommi sacerdoti e agli scribi: lo condanneranno a morte, lo consegneranno ai pagani, 34 lo scherniranno, gli sputeranno addosso, lo flagelleranno e lo uccideranno; ma dopo tre giorni risusciterà».
La domanda dei figli di Zebedeo
35 E gli si avvicinarono Giacomo e Giovanni, i figli di Zebedèo, dicendogli: «Maestro, noi vogliamo che tu ci faccia quello che ti chiederemo». 36 Egli disse loro: «Cosa volete che io faccia per voi?». Gli risposero: 37 «Concedici di sedere nella tua gloria uno alla tua destra e uno alla tua sinistra». 38 Gesù disse loro: «Voi non sapete ciò che domandate. Potete bere il calice che io bevo, o ricevere il battesimo con cui io sono battezzato?». Gli risposero: «Lo possiamo». 39 E Gesù disse: «Il calice che io bevo anche voi lo berrete, e il battesimo che io ricevo anche voi lo riceverete. 40 Ma sedere alla mia destra o alla mia sinistra non sta a me concederlo; è per coloro per i quali è stato preparato».
I capi devono servire
41 All'udire questo, gli altri dieci si sdegnarono con Giacomo e Giovanni. 42 Allora Gesù, chiamatili a sé, disse loro: «Voi sapete che coloro che sono ritenuti capi delle nazioni le dominano, e i loro grandi esercitano su di esse il potere. 43 Fra voi però non è così; ma chi vuol essere grande tra voi si farà vostro servitore, 44 e chi vuol essere il primo tra voi sarà il servo di tutti. 45 Il Figlio dell'uomo infatti non è venuto per essere servito, ma per servire e dare la propria vita in riscatto per molti».
Il cieco all'uscita di Gerico
46 E giunsero a Gerico. E mentre partiva da Gerico insieme ai discepoli e a molta folla, il figlio di Timèo, Bartimèo, cieco, sedeva lungo la strada a mendicare. 47 Costui, al sentire che c'era Gesù Nazareno, cominciò a gridare e a dire: «Figlio di Davide, Gesù, abbi pietà di me!». 48 Molti lo sgridavano per farlo tacere, ma egli gridava più forte: «Figlio di Davide, abbi pietà di me!».
49 Allora Gesù si fermò e disse: «Chiamatelo!». E chiamarono il cieco dicendogli: «Coraggio! Alzati, ti chiama!». 50 Egli, gettato via il mantello, balzò in piedi e venne da Gesù. 51 Allora Gesù gli disse: «Che vuoi che io ti faccia?». E il cieco a lui: «Rabbunì, che io riabbia la vista!». 52 E Gesù gli disse: «Và, la tua fede ti ha salvato». E subito riacquistò la vista e prese a seguirlo per la strada.

Teaching about Divorce
10 He left that place and went to the region of Judea and[a] beyond the Jordan. And crowds again gathered around him; and, as was his custom, he again taught them.
2 Some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, ‘Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?’ 3 He answered them, ‘What did Moses command you?’ 4 They said, ‘Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her.’ 5 But Jesus said to them, ‘Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you. 6 But from the beginning of creation, “God made them male and female.” 7 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,[b] 8 and the two shall become one flesh.” So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.’
10 Then in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 He said to them, ‘Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; 12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.’
Jesus Blesses Little Children
13 People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. 15 Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.’ 16 And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.
The Rich Man
17 As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ 18 Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19 You know the commandments: “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honour your father and mother.”’ 20 He said to him, ‘Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.’ 21 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, ‘You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money[c] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ 22 When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
23 Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, ‘How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!’ 24 And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, ‘Children, how hard it is[d] to enter the kingdom of God! 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.’ 26 They were greatly astounded and said to one another,[e] ‘Then who can be saved?’ 27 Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.’
28 Peter began to say to him, ‘Look, we have left everything and followed you.’ 29 Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news,[f] 30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.’
A Third Time Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
32 They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him, 33 saying, ‘See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death; then they will hand him over to the Gentiles; 34 they will mock him, and spit upon him, and flog him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise again.’
The Request of James and John
35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, ‘Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.’ 36 And he said to them, ‘What is it you want me to do for you?’ 37 And they said to him, ‘Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.’ 38 But Jesus said to them, ‘You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?’ 39 They replied, ‘We are able.’ Then Jesus said to them, ‘The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.’
41 When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. 42 So Jesus called them and said to them, ‘You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 43 But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.’
The Healing of Blind Bartimaeus
46 They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ 48 Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’ 49 Jesus stood still and said, ‘Call him here.’ And they called the blind man, saying to him, ‘Take heart; get up, he is calling you.’ 50 So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 Then Jesus said to him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man said to him, ‘My teacher,[g] let me see again.’ 52 Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you well.’ Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.

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)
2 Some Pharisees(D) came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied.
4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”(E)
5 “It was because your hearts were hard(F) that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’[a](G) 7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] 8 and the two will become one flesh.’[c](H) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 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.
