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.

10 Jésus, étant parti de là, se rendit dans le territoire de la Judée au delà du Jourdain. La foule s'assembla de nouveau près de lui, et selon sa coutume, il se mit encore à l'enseigner.

Les pharisiens l'abordèrent; et, pour l'éprouver, ils lui demandèrent s'il est permis à un homme de répudiée sa femme.

Il leur répondit: Que vous a prescrit Moïse?

Moïse, dirent-ils, a permis d'écrire une lettre de divorce et de répudier.

Et Jésus leur dit: C'est à cause de la dureté de votre coeur que Moïse vous a donné ce précepte.

Mais au commencement de la création, Dieu fit l'homme et la femme;

c'est pourquoi l'homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s'attachera à sa femme,

et les deux deviendront une seule chair. Ainsi ils ne sont plus deux, mais ils sont une seule chair.

Que l'homme donc ne sépare pas ce que Dieu a joint.

10 Lorsqu'ils furent dans la maison, les disciples l'interrogèrent encore là-dessus.

11 Il leur dit: Celui qui répudie sa femme et qui en épouse une autre, commet un adultère à son égard;

12 et si une femme quitte son mari et en épouse un autre, elle commet un adultère.

13 On lui amena des petits enfants, afin qu'il les touchât. Mais les disciples reprirent ceux qui les amenaient.

14 Jésus, voyant cela, fut indigné, et leur dit: Laissez venir à moi les petits enfants, et ne les en empêchez pas; car le royaume de Dieu est pour ceux qui leur ressemblent.

15 Je vous le dis en vérité, quiconque ne recevra pas le royaume de Dieu comme un petit enfant n'y entrera point.

16 Puis il les prit dans ses bras, et les bénit, en leur imposant les mains.

17 Comme Jésus se mettait en chemin, un homme accourut, et se jetant à genoux devant lui: Bon maître, lui demanda-t-il, que dois-je faire pour hériter la vie éternelle?

18 Jésus lui dit: Pourquoi m'appelles-tu bon? Il n'y a de bon que Dieu seul.

19 Tu connais les commandements: Tu ne commettras point d'adultère; tu ne tueras point; tu ne déroberas point; tu ne diras point de faux témoignage; tu ne feras tort à personne; honore ton père et ta mère.

20 Il lui répondit: Maître, j'ai observé toutes ces choses dès ma jeunesse.

21 Jésus, l'ayant regardé, l'aima, et lui dit: Il te manque une chose; va, vends tout ce que tu as, donne-le aux pauvres, et tu auras un trésor dans le ciel. Puis viens, et suis-moi.

22 Mais, affligé de cette parole, cet homme s'en alla tout triste; car il avait de grands biens.

23 Jésus, regardant autour de lui, dit à ses disciples: Qu'il sera difficile à ceux qui ont des richesses d'entrer dans le royaume de Dieu!

24 Les disciples furent étonnés de ce que Jésus parlait ainsi. Et, reprenant, il leur dit: Mes enfants, qu'il est difficile à ceux qui se confient dans les richesses d'entrer dans le royaume de Dieu!

25 Il est plus facile à un chameau de passer par le trou d'une aiguille qu'à un riche d'entrer dans le royaume de Dieu.

26 Les disciples furent encore plus étonnés, et ils se dirent les uns aux autres; Et qui peut être sauvé?

27 Jésus les regarda, et dit: Cela est impossible aux hommes, mais non à Dieu: car tout est possible à Dieu.

28 Pierre se mit à lui dire; Voici, nous avons tout quitté, et nous t'avons suivi.

29 Jésus répondit: Je vous le dis en vérité, il n'est personne qui, ayant quitté, à cause de moi et à cause de la bonne nouvelle, sa maison, ou ses frères, ou ses soeurs, ou sa mère, ou son père, ou ses enfants, ou ses terres,

30 ne reçoive au centuple, présentement dans ce siècle-ci, des maisons, des frères, des soeurs, des mères, des enfants, et des terres, avec des persécutions, et, dans le siècle à venir, la vie éternelle.

31 Plusieurs des premiers seront les derniers, et plusieurs des derniers seront les premiers.

32 Ils étaient en chemin pour monter à Jérusalem, et Jésus allait devant eux. Les disciples étaient troublés, et le suivaient avec crainte. Et Jésus prit de nouveau les douze auprès de lui, et commença à leur dire ce qui devait lui arriver:

33 Voici, nous montons à Jérusalem, et le Fils de l'homme sera livré aux principaux sacrificateurs et aux scribes. Ils le condamneront à mort, et ils le livreront aux païens,

34 qui se moqueront de lui, cracheront sur lui, le battront de verges, et le feront mourir; et, trois jours après, il ressuscitera.

35 Les fils de Zébédée, Jacques et Jean, s'approchèrent de Jésus, et lui dirent: Maître, nous voudrions que tu fisses pour nous ce que nous te demanderons.

36 Il leur dit: Que voulez-vous que je fasse pour vous?

37 Accorde-nous, lui dirent-ils, d'être assis l'un à ta droite et l'autre à ta gauche, quand tu seras dans ta gloire.

38 Jésus leur répondit: Vous ne savez ce que vous demandez. Pouvez-vous boire la coupe que je dois boire, ou être baptisés du baptême dont je dois être baptisé? Nous le pouvons, dirent-ils.

39 Et Jésus leur répondit: Il est vrai que vous boirez la coupe que je dois boire, et que vous serez baptisés du baptême dont je dois être baptisé;

40 mais pour ce qui est d'être assis à ma droite ou à ma gauche, cela ne dépend pas de moi, et ne sera donné qu'à ceux à qui cela est réservé.

41 Les dix, ayant entendu cela, commencèrent à s'indigner contre Jacques et Jean.

42 Jésus les appela, et leur dit: Vous savez que ceux qu'on regarde comme les chefs des nations les tyrannisent, et que les grands les dominent.

43 Il n'en est pas de même au milieu de vous. Mais quiconque veut être grand parmi vous, qu'il soit votre serviteur;

44 et quiconque veut être le premier parmi vous, qu'il soit l'esclave de tous.

45 Car le Fils de l'homme est venu, non pour être servi, mais pour servir et donner sa vie comme la rançon de plusieurs.

46 Ils arrivèrent à Jéricho. Et, lorsque Jésus en sortit, avec ses disciples et une assez grande foule, le fils de Timée, Bartimée, mendiant aveugle, était assis au bord du chemin.

47 Il entendit que c'était Jésus de Nazareth, et il se mit à crier; Fils de David, Jésus aie pitié de moi!

48 Plusieurs le reprenaient, pour le faire taire; mais il criait beaucoup plus fort; Fils de David, aie pitié de moi!

49 Jésus s'arrêta, et dit: Appelez-le. Ils appelèrent l'aveugle, en lui disant: Prends courage, lève-toi, il t'appelle.

50 L'aveugle jeta son manteau, et, se levant d'un bond, vint vers Jésus.

51 Jésus, prenant la parole, lui dit: Que veux-tu que je te fasse? Rabbouni, lui répondit l'aveugle, que je recouvre la vue.

52 Et Jésus lui dit: Va, ta foi t'a sauvé. (10:53) Aussitôt il recouvra la vue, et suivit Jésus dans le chemin.

Desfacerea căsătoriei

10 Isus a plecat(A) de acolo şi a venit în ţinutul Iudeii, dincolo de Iordan. Gloatele s-au adunat din nou la El şi, după obiceiul Său, a început iarăşi să-i înveţe. Au(B) venit la El fariseii şi, ca să-L ispitească, L-au întrebat dacă este îngăduit unui bărbat să-şi lase nevasta. Drept răspuns, El le-a zis: „Ce v-a poruncit Moise?” „Moise(C)”, au zis ei, „a dat voie ca bărbatul să scrie o carte de despărţire şi s-o lase”. Isus le-a zis: „Din pricina împietririi inimii voastre v-a scris Moise porunca aceasta. Dar, de la începutul lumii, Dumnezeu i-a(D) făcut parte bărbătească şi parte femeiască. De aceea(E) va lăsa omul pe tatăl său şi pe mama sa şi se va lipi de nevastă-sa. Şi cei doi vor fi un singur trup. Aşa că nu mai sunt doi, ci sunt un singur trup. Deci ce a împreunat Dumnezeu, omul să nu despartă.” 10 În casă, ucenicii L-au întrebat iarăşi asupra celor de mai sus. 11 El le-a zis: „Oricine(F) îşi lasă nevasta şi ia pe alta de nevastă preacurveşte faţă de ea 12 şi dacă o nevastă îşi lasă bărbatul şi ia pe altul de bărbat preacurveşte”.

Copilaşii

13 I-au(G) adus nişte copilaşi ca să Se atingă de ei. Dar ucenicii au certat pe cei ce îi aduceau. 14 Când a văzut Isus acest lucru, S-a mâniat şi le-a zis: „Lăsaţi copilaşii să vină la Mine şi nu-i opriţi, căci Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu este a celor(H) ca ei. 15 Adevărat vă spun că oricine(I) nu va primi Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu ca un copilaş cu niciun chip nu va intra în ea!” 16 Apoi i-a luat în braţe şi i-a binecuvântat, punându-Şi mâinile peste ei.

Tânărul bogat

17 Tocmai(J) când era gata să pornească la drum, a alergat la El un om care a îngenuncheat înaintea Lui şi L-a întrebat: „Bunule Învăţător, ce să fac ca să moştenesc viaţa veşnică?” 18 „Pentru ce Mă numeşti bun?” i-a zis Isus. „Nimeni nu este bun, decât Unul singur: Dumnezeu. 19 Cunoşti poruncile: ‘Să(K) nu preacurveşti; să nu ucizi; să nu furi; să nu faci o mărturisire mincinoasă; să nu înşeli; să cinsteşti pe tatăl tău şi pe mama ta’.” 20 El I-a răspuns: „Învăţătorule, toate aceste lucruri le-am păzit cu grijă din tinereţea mea”. 21 Isus S-a uitat ţintă la el, l-a iubit şi i-a zis: „Îţi lipseşte un lucru; du-te de vinde tot ce ai, dă la săraci, şi vei avea o comoară(L) în cer. Apoi vino, ia-ţi crucea şi urmează-Mă.” 22 Mâhnit de aceste cuvinte, omul acesta a plecat întristat de tot, căci avea multe avuţii. 23 Isus S-a uitat(M) împrejurul Lui şi a zis ucenicilor Săi: „Cât de anevoie vor intra în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu cei ce au avuţii!” 24 Ucenicii au rămas uimiţi de cuvintele Lui. Isus a luat din nou cuvântul şi le-a zis: „Fiilor, cât de anevoie este pentru cei ce(N) se încred în bogăţii, să intre în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu! 25 Mai lesne este să treacă o cămilă prin urechea unui ac decât să intre un om bogat în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu!” 26 Ucenicii au rămas şi mai uimiţi şi au zis unii către alţii: „Cine poate atunci să fie mântuit?” 27 Isus S-a uitat ţintă la ei şi le-a zis: „Lucrul acesta este cu neputinţă la oameni, dar nu la Dumnezeu, pentru că toate lucrurile sunt cu putinţă la(O) Dumnezeu”.

Moştenirea vieţii veşnice

28 Petru(P) a început să-I zică: „Iată că noi am lăsat totul şi Te-am urmat”. 29 Isus a răspuns: „Adevărat vă spun că nu este nimeni care să fi lăsat casă sau fraţi, sau surori, sau tată, sau mamă, sau nevastă, sau copii, sau holde pentru Mine şi pentru Evanghelie 30 şi să(Q) nu primească acum, în veacul acesta, de o sută de ori mai mult: case, fraţi, surori, mame, copii şi holde, împreună cu prigoniri, iar în veacul viitor, viaţa veşnică. 31 Mulţi(R) din cei dintâi vor fi cei de pe urmă, şi mulţi din cei de pe urmă vor fi cei dintâi.”

Isus vesteşte moartea şi învierea Sa

32 Ei(S) erau pe drum şi se suiau la Ierusalim, şi Isus mergea înaintea lor. Ucenicii erau tulburaţi şi mergeau îngroziţi după El. Isus a luat(T) iarăşi la El pe cei doisprezece şi a început să le vorbească despre lucrurile care aveau să I se întâmple. 33 „Iată”, a zis El, „ne suim la Ierusalim, şi Fiul omului va fi dat în mâinile preoţilor celor mai de seamă şi cărturarilor. Ei Îl vor osândi la moarte şi-L vor da în mâinile neamurilor, 34 care îşi vor bate joc de El, Îl vor bate cu nuiele, Îl vor scuipa şi-L vor omorî, dar, după trei zile, va învia.”

Cererea fiilor lui Zebedei

35 Fiii lui Zebedei, Iacov şi Ioan, au venit(U) la Isus şi I-au zis: „Învăţătorule, am vrea să ne faci ce-Ţi vom cere”. 36 El le-a zis: „Ce voiţi să vă fac?” 37 „Dă-ne”, I-au zis ei, „să şedem unul la dreapta Ta şi altul la stânga Ta când vei fi îmbrăcat în slava Ta”. 38 Isus le-a răspuns: „Nu ştiţi ce cereţi. Puteţi voi să beţi paharul pe care am să-l beau Eu sau să fiţi botezaţi cu botezul cu care am să fiu botezat Eu?” 39 „Putem”, au zis ei. Şi Isus le-a răspuns: „Este adevărat că paharul pe care-l voi bea Eu, îl veţi bea şi cu botezul cu care voi fi botezat Eu, veţi fi botezaţi, 40 dar cinstea de a şedea la dreapta sau la stânga Mea nu atârnă de Mine s-o dau, ci ea este numai pentru aceia pentru care a fost pregătită”. 41 Cei zece, când au auzit(V) lucrul acesta, au început să se mânie pe Iacov şi pe Ioan. 42 Isus i-a chemat la El şi le-a zis: „Ştiţi(W) că cei priviţi drept cârmuitori ai neamurilor domnesc peste ele şi mai-marii lor le poruncesc cu stăpânire. 43 Dar(X) între voi să nu fie aşa. Ci oricare va vrea să fie mare între voi să fie slujitorul vostru 44 şi oricare va vrea să fie cel dintâi între voi să fie robul tuturor. 45 Căci Fiul(Y) omului n-a venit să I se slujească, ci El să slujească şi să-Şi(Z) dea viaţa răscumpărare pentru mulţi!”

Orbul Bartimeu

46 Au(AA) ajuns la Ierihon. Şi, pe când ieşea Isus din Ierihon cu ucenicii Săi şi cu o mare mulţime de oameni, fiul lui Timeu, Bartimeu, un cerşetor orb, şedea jos, lângă drum, şi cerea de milă. 47 El a auzit că trece Isus din Nazaret şi a început să strige: „Isuse, Fiul lui David, ai milă de mine!” 48 Mulţi îl certau să tacă, dar el şi mai tare striga: „Fiul lui David, ai milă de mine!” 49 Isus S-a oprit şi a zis: „Chemaţi-l!” Au chemat pe orb şi i-au zis: „Îndrăzneşte, scoală-te, căci te cheamă”. 50 Orbul şi-a aruncat haina, a sărit şi a venit la Isus. 51 Isus a luat cuvântul şi i-a zis: „Ce vrei să-ţi fac?” „Rabuni”, I-a răspuns orbul, „să capăt vederea”. 52 Şi Isus i-a zis: „Du-te, credinţa(AB) ta te-a mântuit”. Îndată orbul şi-a căpătat vederea şi a mers pe drum după Isus.

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.
