Jesús en Judea

10 (A)Levantándose de allí, Jesús se fue* a la región de Judea y al otro lado del Jordán; y se reunieron* de nuevo las multitudes junto a Él, y una vez más, como acostumbraba, les enseñaba(B).

Enseñanza de Jesús sobre el divorcio

Se acercaron algunos fariseos, y para poner[a] a prueba a Jesús, le preguntaban si era lícito a un hombre divorciarse de[b] su mujer. «¿Qué les mandó Moisés?», les dijo Jesús. Ellos respondieron: «Moisés permitió al hombre escribir carta de divorcio y repudiarla(C)».

Entonces Jesús les dijo: «Por la dureza del corazón de ustedes, Moisés les escribió este mandamiento(D). Pero desde el principio de la creación(E), Dios los hizo varón y hembra(F). Por esta razón el hombre dejará a su padre y a su madre[c](G), y los dos serán una sola carne(H); así que ya no son dos, sino una sola carne. Por tanto, lo que Dios ha unido, ningún hombre lo separe».

10 Ya en casa, los discípulos le volvieron a preguntar sobre esto. 11 Y Él les dijo*: «Cualquiera que se divorcie de[d]su mujer y se case con otra, comete adulterio contra ella(I); 12 y si ella se divorcia de[e]su marido(J)y se casa con otro, comete adulterio».

Jesús bendice a los niños

13 (K)Traían niños a Jesús para que Él los tocara, pero los discípulos los reprendieron. 14 Cuando Jesús vio esto, se indignó y les dijo: «Dejen que los niños vengan a Mí; no se lo impidan, porque de los que son como estos[f]es el reino de Dios(L). 15 En verdad les digo, que el que no reciba el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él(M)». 16 Y tomándolos en los brazos(N), los bendecía, poniendo las manos sobre ellos.

El joven rico

17 (O)Cuando Jesús salía para irse, vino un hombre corriendo, y arrodillándose delante de Él(P), le preguntó[g]: «Maestro bueno, ¿qué haré para heredar la vida eterna(Q)?». 18 Jesús le respondió: «¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Nadie es bueno, sino solo uno, Dios. 19 Tú sabes los mandamientos: “No mates, no cometas adulterio, no hurtes, no des falso testimonio, no defraudes, honra a tu padre y a tu madre(R)”».

20 «Maestro, todo esto lo he guardado(S) desde mi juventud», dijo el hombre. 21 Jesús, mirándolo, lo amó y le dijo: «Una cosa te falta: ve y vende cuanto tienes y da a los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo(T); entonces vienes y me sigues». 22 Pero él, afligido por estas palabras, se fue triste, porque era dueño de muchos bienes.

Peligro de las riquezas

23 Jesús, mirando en derredor, dijo* a Sus discípulos: «¡Qué difícil será para los que tienen riquezas entrar en el reino de Dios(U)!». 24 Los discípulos se asombraron(V) de Sus palabras. Pero Jesús respondiendo de nuevo, les dijo*: «Hijos, ¡qué difícil es entrar en el reino de Dios[h]! 25 Es más fácil para un camello pasar por el ojo de una[i]aguja, que para un rico entrar en el reino de Dios(W)».

26 Ellos se asombraron aún más, diciendo entre sí[j]: «¿Y quién podrá salvarse?». 27 Mirándolos Jesús, dijo*: «Para los hombres es imposible, pero no para Dios, porque todas las cosas son posibles para Dios(X)». 28 Entonces Pedro comenzó a decir a Jesús: «Nosotros lo hemos dejado todo y te hemos seguido(Y)».

29 Jesús respondió: «En verdad les digo, que no hay nadie que haya dejado casa, o hermanos, o hermanas, o madre, o padre, o hijos o tierras por causa de Mí y por causa del evangelio(Z), 30 que no reciba cien veces más ahora en este tiempo: casas, y hermanos, y hermanas, y madres, e hijos, y tierras junto con persecuciones; y en el siglo venidero(AA), la vida eterna. 31 Pero muchos primeros serán últimos, y los últimos, primeros(AB)».

Jesús anuncia Su muerte por tercera vez

32 (AC)Iban por el camino subiendo a Jerusalén, y Jesús iba delante de ellos. Los discípulos estaban perplejos(AD), y los que lo seguían tenían miedo. Y tomando aparte de nuevo a los doce, comenzó a decirles lo que le iba a suceder: 33 «Ahora subimos a Jerusalén, y el Hijo del Hombre(AE)será entregado a los principales sacerdotes y a los escribas, y lo condenarán a muerte y lo entregarán a los gentiles. 34 Se burlarán de Él y le escupirán(AF), lo azotarán y lo matarán, y tres días después resucitará».

Petición de Jacobo y Juan

35 (AG)Jacobo[k] y Juan, los dos hijos de Zebedeo, se acercaron* a Jesús, diciendo: «Maestro, queremos que hagas por nosotros lo que te pidamos». 36 «¿Qué quieren que haga por ustedes?», les preguntó. 37 Ellos le dijeron: «Concédenos[l] que en Tu gloria(AH) nos sentemos uno a Tu derecha y el otro a Tu izquierda». 38 Jesús les dijo: «Ustedes no saben lo que piden. ¿Pueden beber la copa que Yo bebo(AI), o ser bautizados con el bautismo con que soy bautizado(AJ)?». 39 Le respondieron: «Podemos». Y Jesús les dijo: «La copa que Yo bebo, beberán; y serán bautizados con el bautismo con que Yo soy bautizado(AK); 40 pero el sentarse a Mi derecha o a Mi izquierda, no es Mío el concederlo[m], sino que es para quienes ha sido preparado(AL)».

41 Al oír esto, los diez comenzaron a indignarse contra Jacobo[n] y Juan. 42 (AM)Llamándolos junto a Él, Jesús les dijo*: «Ustedes saben que los que son reconocidos como gobernantes de los gentiles se enseñorean de ellos, y que sus grandes ejercen autoridad sobre ellos. 43 Pero entre ustedes no es así, sino que cualquiera de ustedes que desee llegar a ser grande será su servidor(AN), 44 y cualquiera de ustedes que desee ser el primero será siervo de todos. 45 Porque ni aun el Hijo del Hombre vino para ser servido, sino para servir, y para dar Su vida[o]en rescate por muchos(AO)».

El ciego Bartimeo es sanado

46 (AP)Entonces llegaron* a Jericó. Y cuando Él salía de Jericó con Sus discípulos y una gran multitud, un mendigo ciego llamado Bartimeo, el hijo de Timeo, estaba sentado junto al camino(AQ). 47 Cuando oyó que era Jesús el Nazareno(AR), comenzó a gritar y a decir: «¡Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí(AS)!».

48 Y muchos lo reprendían para que se callara, pero él gritaba mucho más: «¡Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí(AT)!». 49 Jesús se detuvo y dijo: «Llámenlo». Y llamaron* al ciego, diciéndole: «¡Anímate(AU)! Levántate, que te llama». 50 Arrojando su manto, se levantó de un salto y fue a Jesús.

51 Y dirigiéndose a él[p], Jesús le preguntó: «¿Qué deseas que haga por ti?». Y el ciego le respondió: «Raboní[q](AV), que recobre la vista». 52 «Vete, tu fe te ha sanado[r](AW)», le dijo Jesús. Al instante el ciego recobró la vista, y lo seguía por el camino.

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(A)

10 He arose and went from there to the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan, and the people came to Him again. And again, as was His custom, He taught them.

The Pharisees came to test Him, asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

He answered them, “What did Moses command you?”

They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and to divorce her.”

Jesus answered them, “Due to the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’[a] ‘For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.’[b] So then they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.”

10 In the house His disciples asked Him concerning this matter again. 11 He said to them, “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.”

Little Children Blessed(B)

13 They brought young children to Him, that He might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was very displeased and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God. 15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it.” 16 And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.

The Rich Man(C)

17 When He set out on His way, a man came running and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

18 He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone. 19 You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.[c]

20 He answered Him, “Teacher, all these have I observed from my youth.”

21 Then Jesus, looking upon him, loved him and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And come, take up the cross and follow Me.”

22 He was saddened by that word, and he went away grieving. For he had many possessions.

23 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 The disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those 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 rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 They were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God. For with God all things are possible.”

28 Peter began to say to Him, “Look, we have left everything and have followed You.”

29 Jesus answered, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left a house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 who shall not receive a hundred times as much now in this age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecution, and in the age to come, eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection a Third Time(D)

32 They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. Again, He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what would happen to Him, 33 saying, “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death and hand Him over to the Gentiles. 34 They will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. Then after three days He will rise.”

The Request of James and John(E)

35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want that whatever we may ask, You would do for us.”

36 He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

37 They said to Him, “Grant us to sit, one at Your right hand and the other at Your left hand, in Your glory.”

38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”

39 They said to Him, “We can.”

Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. 40 But to sit at My right hand or at My left hand is not Mine to grant. It is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

41 When the ten heard it, they began to be very displeased with James and John. 42 But Jesus called them together, and said, “You know that those who are appointed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you. Whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever among you would be greatest must be servant of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

The Healing of Blind Bartimaeus(F)

46 Then 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 along the way begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48 Many ordered him to keep silent. But he cried out even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called.

So they called the blind man, saying, “Be of good comfort. Rise, He is calling you.” 50 Throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

51 Jesus answered him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

The blind man said to Him, “Rabbi, that I might receive my sight.”

52 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the way.
