Marco 10
La Nuova Diodati
10 Poi, partendo di là, si recò nel territorio della Giudea lungo il Giordano, e di nuovo le folle si radunarono intorno a lui, ed egli nuovamente, come al solito, le ammaestrava.
2 E i farisei, per metterlo alla prova, gli domandarono: «E' lecito al marito ripudiare la moglie?».
3 Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: «Che cosa vi ha comandato Mosè?».
4 Essi dissero: «Mosè ha permesso di scrivere un atto di divorzio e di ripudiare la moglie».
5 E Gesú, rispondendo, disse loro: «Fu a causa della durezza del vostro cuore che egli scrisse questa disposizione;
6 ma al principio della creazione, Dio li fece maschio e femmina.
7 Perciò l'uomo lascerà suo padre e sua madre e si unirà a sua moglie;
8 e i due diverranno una stessa carne; cosí non sono piú due, ma una sola carne.
9 L'uomo dunque non separi ciò che Dio ha unito!».
10 E in casa i suoi discepoli lo interrogarono di nuovo su questo argomento.
11 Allora egli disse loro: «Chiunque manda via la propria moglie e ne sposa un'altra, commette adulterio contro di lei.
12 Similmente, se la moglie lascia il proprio marito e ne sposa un altro, commette adulterio».
13 Allora, gli furono presentati dei fanciulli, perché li toccasse, ma i discepoli sgridavano coloro che li portavano.
14 E Gesú, nel vedere ciò, si indignò, e disse loro: «Lasciate che i piccoli fanciulli vengano a me e non glielo impedite, perché di tali è il regno di Dio.
15 In verità vi dico che chiunque non riceve il regno di Dio come un piccolo fanciullo, non entrerà in esso».
16 E, presili in braccio, li benedisse, imponendo loro le mani.
17 Ora, mentre stava per mettersi in viaggio, un tale gli corse incontro; e inginocchiatosi davanti a lui, gli chiese: «Maestro buono, cosa devo fare per ereditare la vita eterna?».
18 E Gesú gli disse: «Perché mi chiami buono? Nessuno è buono, tranne uno solo, cioè Dio.
19 Tu conosci i comandamenti: "Non commettere adulterio. Non uccidere. Non rubare. Non dire falsa testimonianza. Non frodare. Onora tuo padre e tua madre"».
20 Ed egli, rispondendo, gli disse: «Maestro, tutte queste cose le ho osservate fin dalla mia fanciullezza».
21 Allora Gesú, fissandolo nel volto, l'amò e gli disse: «Una cosa ti manca; va
22 Ma egli, rattristatosi per quella parola, se ne andò dolente, perché aveva molti beni.
23 Allora Gesú, volgendo lo sguardo attorno, disse ai suoi discepoli: «Quanto difficilmente coloro che hanno delle ricchezze entreranno nel regno di Dio!».
24 E i discepoli sbigottirono alle sue parole. Ma Gesú, prendendo di nuovo la parola, disse loro: «Figli, quanto è difficile, per coloro che confidano nelle ricchezze entrare nel regno di Dio.
25 E piú facile che un cammello passi per la cruna, di un ago, che un ricco entri nel regno di Dio».
26 Ed essi, ancora piú stupiti, dicevano fra di loro: «E chi dunque può essere salvato?».
27 Ma Gesú, fissando lo sguardo su di loro, disse: «Questo è impossibile agli uomini, ma non a Dio, perché ogni cosa è possibile a Dio»,
28 E Pietro prese a dirgli: «Ecco, noi abbiamo lasciato ogni cosa e ti abbiamo seguito».
29 Allora Gesú, rispondendo, disse: «Io vi dico in verità che non c'è nessuno che abbia lasciato casa o fratelli o sorelle o padre o madre o moglie o figli o poderi per amor mio e dell'evangelo,
30 che non riceva il centuplo ora, in questo tempo, in case, fratelli, sorelle madre, figli e poderi, insieme a persecuzioni e, nel secolo a venire, la vita eterna.
31 Ma molti primi saranno ultimi, e molti ultimi saranno primi».
32 Or essi si trovavano in viaggio per salire a Gerusalemme, e Gesú li precedeva, ed essi erano sgomenti e lo seguivano con timore. Ed egli presi nuovamente i dodici in disparte, prese a dir loro quello che gli sarebbe accaduto:
33 «Ecco, noi saliamo a Gerusalemme e il Figlio dell'uomo sarà dato nelle mani dei capi dei sacerdoti e degli scribi; ed essi lo condanneranno a morte e lo consegneranno nelle mani dei gentili,
34 i quali lo scherniranno, lo flagelleranno, gli sputeranno addosso e l'uccideranno, ma il terzo giorno egli risusciterà».
35 Allora Giacomo e Giovanni, figli di Zebedeo, si accostarono a lui, dicendo: «Maestro, noi desideriamo che tu faccia per noi ciò che ti chiederemo».
36 Ed egli disse loro: «Che volete che io vi faccia?».
37 Essi gli dissero: «Concedici di sedere uno alla tua destra e l'altro alla tua sinistra nella tua gloria».
38 E Gesú disse loro: «Voi non sapete quello che domandate. Potete voi bere il calice che io berrò ed essere battezzati del battesimo di cui io sono battezzato?». Essi gli dissero: «Sí, lo possiamo».
39 E Gesú disse loro: «Voi certo berrete il calice che io bevo e sarete battezzati del battesimo di cui io sono battezzato,
40 ma quanto a sedere alla mia destra o alla mia sinistra, non sta a me darlo, ma è per coloro ai quali è stato preparato».
41 Udito ciò, gli altri dieci cominciarono ad indignarsi contro Giacomo e Giovanni.
42 Ma Gesú, chiamatili a sé, disse loro: «Voi sapete che coloro che sono ritenuti i sovrani delle nazioni le signoreggiano, e i loro grandi esercitano dominio su di esse;
43 ma tra voi non sarà cosí; anzi chiunque vorrà diventare grande tra voi, sarà vostro servo;
44 e chiunque fra voi vorrà essere il primo, sarà schiavo di tutti.
45 Poiché anche il Figlio dell'uomo non è venuto per essere servito, ma per servire e per dare la sua vita come prezzo di riscatto per molti».
46 Giunsero cosí a Gerico. E come egli usciva da Gerico con i suoi discepoli e con una grande folla, un certo figlio di Timeo, Bartimeo il cieco, sedeva lungo la strada mendicando.
47 Or avendo udito che chi passava era Gesú il Nazareno, cominciò a gridare e a dire: «Gesú, Figlio di Davide, abbi pietà di me!».
48 Molti lo sgridavano affinché tacesse ma egli gridava ancora piú forte: «Figlio di Davide, abbi pietà di me!».
49 E Gesú, fermatosi, ordinò che lo si chiamasse. Chiamarono dunque il cieco dicendogli: «Fatti animo, alzati, egli ti chiama!».
50 Allora egli, gettando via il suo vestito, si alzò e venne a Gesú.
51 E Gesú, rivolgendogli la parola, disse: «Che vuoi che io ti faccia?». Il cieco gli disse: «Rabboni, che io recuperi la vista!».
52 E Gesú gli disse: «Va la tua fede a ti ha guarito». E in quell'istante recuperò la vista e si mise a seguire Gesú per la via.
Mark 10
Worldwide English (New Testament)
10 Jesus left that place and went through the country of Judea on the other side of the Jordan river. Many people came to him there again. He taught them as he always did.
2 The Pharisees came to him and asked, `Is it right for a man to send his wife away from him?' They asked this to test Jesus.
3 Jesus answered, `What law did Moses give you?'
4 They said, `Moses allowed a man to write a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.'
5 Jesus said to them, `Moses wrote that law because your hearts are so hard.
6 From the time God first made people, he made them man and woman.
7 That is why a man must leave his father and mother and stay with his wife.
8 The two of them will be like one person. So they are not two people any more, but they are one person.
9 Man must not separate what God has joined together.'
10 When they were in the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
11 So Jesus said, `If any man sends away his wife and marries another woman, he commits adultery against her. [He takes another woman who is not his wife.]
12 If a woman sends away her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.'
13 They brought children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on them. The disciples tried to stop the people.
14 When Jesus saw what the disciples did, he did not like it. He said, `Let the children come to me. Do not try to stop them.
15 I tell you the truth. If anyone does not believe in the kingdom of God like a child, he will never go in.'
16 Jesus took the children up in his arms. He put his hands on them and blessed them.
17 Jesus started on the way again. A man came running and kneeled down before him. He said, `Good Teacher, what must I do so that I will live for ever?'
18 Jesus said, `Why do you call me good? Only God is good.
19 You know the laws: "Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not tell lies. Do not cheat. Respect your father and your mother." '
20 The man answered Jesus. He said, `Teacher, I have kept all those laws since I was a boy.'
21 Jesus looked at him. He loved him. He said, `You need one thing more. Go home. Sell everything you have. Give the money to the poor people. You will be rich in heaven. So be ready to carry your own cross and come with me.'
22 When the young man heard that, he was sad, because he was very rich. So he went away.
23 Then Jesus looked around at his disciples and said to them, `It is very hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God.'
24 The disciples were surprised at his words. But Jesus said again, `Children, it is very hard for people who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God.
25 It is easier for a big animal to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'
26 They were very much surprised. They said, `Then who can be saved?'
27 Jesus looked at them and said, `Men cannot do it but God can, because God can do anything.'
28 Peter began to speak and said to him, `See, we have left all things and have come with you.'
30 Jesus said, `I tell you the truth. If any man has left his house, or his brothers, or his sisters, his mother, or his father, or his children, or farms, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, he will receive his pay in this life. He will have a hundred times as many houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and farms. He will have trouble also. But in the next world he will live for ever.
31 But many people who are first will be last, and those who are last will be first.'
32 Jesus and his disciples were on the road to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking in front of them. The disciples were surprised. And the people who came behind were afraid. He took the twelve disciples and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.
33 He said, `We are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be given over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will judge him and say he must die. They will give him over to rulers who are not Jews.
34 They will make fun of him. They will spit on him. They will beat him and kill him. After three days, he will rise again.'
35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said, `Master, we want you to do for us anything we ask you.'
36 Jesus said, `What do you want me to do for you?'
37 They said, `Let one of us sit at your right side and one at your left side when you rule.'
38 But Jesus said, `You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink from the cup that I will drink from? Can you go through the big trouble that I will go through?'
39 `Yes,' they said. `We can.' Then Jesus said to them, `You will drink what I drink and you will have trouble the way I will have.
40 But I cannot choose who will sit at my right hand or at my left. It has been planned who will sit there.'
41 When the other ten disciples heard about it, they were angry with James and John.
42 Jesus called them and said, `You know the people who rule over countries make their people obey them. The great will tell the others what to do.
43 But that is not the way it is among you. Anyone among you who wants to be great must help the others.
44 Anyone among you who wants to be first shall be a servant to the others.
45 The Son of Man did not come to have others help him. But he came to help others. He came to give his life to make many people free.'
46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples left Jericho, many people followed him. A blind man named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. He was begging for money.
47 He heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing. So he shouted, `Jesus, Son of David! Help me!'
48 Many people said, `Be quiet!' But he shouted louder, `Son of David! Help me!
49 Jesus stopped and said, `Call him.' They called the blind man and said to him, `Be glad! Come, get up! He is calling you.'
50 The man threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.
51 Jesus said, `What do you want me to do for you?' The blind man said to him, `Teacher, I want to see.'
52 Jesus said, `Go home. Because you believe in me, your faith has made you well.' Right then he was able to see. He followed Jesus on the road.
Mark 10
Legacy Standard Bible
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.
2 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. 3 And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?” 4 And they said, “(C)Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and [b]send her away.” 5 But Jesus said to them, “[c](D)Because of your hardness of heart he wrote for you this commandment. 6 But (E)from the beginning of creation, God (F)made them male and female. 7 (G)For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother[d], 8 (H)and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 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.
