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.

Tungkol sa Paghihiwalay ng Mag-asawa(A)

10 Umalis doon si Jesus at tumawid sa ibayo ng Jordan at nagpunta sa lupain ng Judea. Muli siyang dinagsa ng napakaraming tao. Tulad ng kanyang nakasanayan, sila'y kanyang tinuruan. Ilang Fariseo ang dumating at nagtanong upang siya'y subukin, “Naaayon ba sa Kautusan na paalisin ng isang lalaki at hiwalayan ang kanyang asawa?” “Ano ba ang utos sa inyo ni Moises?” sagot ni Jesus. Sinabi (B) nila, “Pinahintulutan ni Moises na gumawa ng kasulatan ng paghihiwalay ang lalaki at pagkatapos ay paalisin ang kanyang asawa.” Ngunit sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Dahil sa katigasan ng inyong puso kaya isinulat ni Moises ang utos na iyon! Ngunit (C) sa simula pa ng paglikha ng Diyos sa sanlibutan, ‘nilalang sila ng Diyos na lalaki at babae.’ ‘Dahil (D) dito'y iiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama at ina, at sasamahan niya ang kanyang asawa. Silang dalawa ay magiging isang laman.’ At hindi na sila dalawa, kundi isa. Kaya't ang pinagsama ng Diyos ay huwag paghiwalayin ng tao.” 10 Pagdating nila sa bahay, muli siyang tinanong ng mga alagad tungkol dito. 11 Sinabi (E) niya sa kanila, “Ang sinumang lalaking magpaalis at humiwalay sa kanyang asawang babae at mag-asawa ng iba ay nagkakasala ng pangangalunya. 12 At kung humiwalay ang babae sa kanyang asawa at mag-asawa ng iba, nagkakasala siya ng pangangalunya.”

Binasbasan ni Jesus ang Maliliit na Bata(F)

13 Dinala ng mga tao kay Jesus ang maliliit na bata upang kanyang hipuin. Ngunit sinaway sila ng mga alagad. 14 Nagalit si Jesus nang makita ito. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Hayaan ninyong lumapit sa akin ang maliliit na bata. Huwag ninyo silang pagbawalan sapagkat para sa mga tulad nila ang kaharian ng Diyos. 15 Tandaan (G) ninyo, ang sinumang hindi tumanggap sa kaharian ng Diyos tulad ng pagtanggap sa maliit na bata ay hindi maaaring pumasok doon.” 16 Kinalong niya sila, ipinatong ang kanyang mga kamay sa kanila at binasbasan sila.

Ang Lalaking Mayaman(H)

17 Sa pagpapatuloy ni Jesus sa paglalakbay, isang lalaki ang patakbong lumapit sa kanya, lumuhod sa kanyang harapan, at nagtanong, “Mabuting Guro, ano po ang dapat kong gawin upang magmana ng buhay na walang hanggan?” 18 Sumagot si Jesus, “Bakit tinatawag mo akong mabuti? Walang mabuti maliban sa isa—ang Diyos. 19 Alam (I) mo ang mga utos: ‘Huwag kang papatay; Huwag kang mangangalunya; Huwag kang magnanakaw; Huwag kang tatayong saksi para sa kasinungalingan; Huwag kang mandadaya; Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ina.’ ” 20 “Guro,” sabi ng lalaki, “Ginampanan ko po ang lahat ng iyan mula pa sa aking kabataan.” 21 Sa pagtingin ni Jesus sa lalaki, minahal niya ito at sinabi, “Isang bagay pa ang kulang sa iyo. Humayo ka, ipagbili mo ang iyong ari-arian at ipamigay mo ang salapi sa mga dukha. Sa gayon, magkakaroon ka ng kayamanan sa langit. Pagkatapos, bumalik ka at sumunod ka sa akin.” 22 Nanlumo ang lalaki dahil sa sinabing ito, at umalis siyang nalulungkot sapagkat marami siyang ari-arian. 23 Tumingin si Jesus sa paligid, at sinabi sa mga alagad, “Napakahirap para sa mayayaman na pumasok sa kaharian ng Diyos.” 24 Namangha ang mga alagad sa sinabing ito ni Jesus. Ngunit muling nagsalita si Jesus, “Mga anak, napakahirap pumasok sa kaharian ng Diyos. 25 Mas madali pang pumasok ang kamelyo sa butas ng karayom kaysa isang mayaman na pumasok sa kaharian ng Diyos.” 26 Lalong nagtaka ang mga alagad, at sinabi nila sa isa't isa, “Kung gayo'y sino ang maaaring maligtas?” 27 Tumingin si Jesus sa kanila at sinabi, “Hindi ito kayang gawin ng tao; ngunit kaya ng Diyos. Sapagkat lahat ng bagay ay kayang gawin ng Diyos.” 28 Nagsimulang magsabi si Pedro kay Jesus, “Tingnan po ninyo. Iniwan namin ang lahat at sumunod kami sa iyo.” 29 Sumagot si Jesus, “Tinitiyak ko sa inyo, walang taong nag-iwan ng bahay, mga kapatid, ina, ama, mga anak, o mga lupain, dahil sa akin at dahil sa Magandang Balita, 30 na hindi tatanggap sa panahong ito ng makaisandaang ulit ng mga bahay, mga kapatid, mga ina at mga anak, at mga bukid, na may kalakip na pag-uusig. At sa panahong darating ay tatanggap siya ng buhay na walang hanggan. 31 Ngunit (J) maraming nauuna ang mahuhuli, at maraming nahuhuli ang mauuna.”

Ikatlong Pagbanggit ni Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan(K)

32 Nauuna sa kanila si Jesus sa daang paakyat sa Jerusalem. Namamangha ang mga alagad at natatakot naman ang mga sumusunod sa kanya. Muli niyang ibinukod ang labindalawa, at sinimulang isalaysay ang nakatakdang mangyayari sa kanya. 33 Sinabi niya, “Ngayon, papunta tayo sa Jerusalem at ipagkakanulo ang Anak ng Tao sa mga punong pari at sa mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Siya'y hahatulan nila ng kamatayan, at ibibigay sa mga Hentil. 34 Siya'y kanilang kukutyain, duduraan, hahagupitin at papatayin. Ngunit pagkaraan ng tatlong araw, siya'y muling mabubuhay.”

Ang Kahilingan nina Santiago at Juan(L)

35 Lumapit kay Jesus ang mga anak ni Zebedeo na sina Santiago at Juan. Sinabi nila, “Guro, ipagkaloob mo po sana ang anumang hihilingin namin sa iyo.” 36 “Ano ang nais ninyong gawin ko?” tanong ni Jesus. 37 Sumagot ang magkapatid, “Ipagkaloob ninyong makaupo kami, isa sa kanan at isa sa kaliwa sa inyong kaluwalhatian.” 38 Subalit (M) sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Hindi ninyo alam ang inyong hinihingi. Kaya ba ninyong inuman ang kopa na iinuman ko, at mabautismuhan sa bautismong daranasin ko?” 39 “Kaya namin,” sagot nila. Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Iinuman nga ninyo ang kopang iinuman ko, at babautismuhan kayo sa bautismong daranasin ko. 40 Ngunit ang maupo sa aking kanan at sa aking kaliwa ay hindi ako ang magkakaloob. Iyan ay nakalaan para sa mga pinaghandaan nito.” 41 Nang marinig ito ng sampung alagad, nagsimula silang magalit kina Santiago at Juan. 42 Kaya't (N) tinawag sila ni Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Alam ninyo na ang mga kinikilalang pinuno ng mga Hentil ay silang pinapanginoon nila at ang mga dakila sa kanila ang nasusunod sa kanila. 43 Subalit (O) hindi dapat ganyan sa inyo. Sa halip, ang sinumang nais maging dakila sa inyo ay kailangang maging lingkod ninyo; 44 at ang sinumang nais maging una ay kailangang maging alipin ng lahat. 45 Sapagkat kahit ang Anak ng Tao ay naparito hindi upang paglingkuran, kundi upang maglingkod at ibigay ang kanyang buhay na pantubos sa marami.”

Muling Nakakita ang Bulag na si Bartimeo(P)

46 Dumating sina Jesus sa Jerico. Nang paalis na siya sa lugar na iyon kasama ang mga alagad at marami pang iba, naroong nakaupo sa tabing daan ang isang bulag na pulubing may pangalang Bartimeo, anak ni Timeo. 47 Nang marinig niyang naroon si Jesus na taga-Nazareth, nagsimula siyang sumigaw, “Jesus, anak ni David, mahabag po kayo sa akin!” 48 Maraming sumaway sa kanya upang siya'y tumahimik. Ngunit lalo siyang nagsisigaw, “Anak ni David, mahabag po kayo sa akin!” 49 Huminto si Jesus at sinabi, “Tawagin ninyo siya.” Tinawag nga nila ang bulag at sinabi sa kanya, “Matuwa ka! Tumayo ka at tinatawag ka niya.” 50 Pagkahagis sa kanyang balabal, agad tumayo ang bulag at lumapit kay Jesus. 51 “Ano ang ibig mong gawin ko para sa iyo?” tanong sa kanya ni Jesus. Sumagot ang lalaki, “Rabboni,[a] nais ko pong makakita muli.” 52 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Humayo ka, pinagaling ka ng iyong pananampalataya.” Noon di'y nakakita siyang muli; pagkatapos ay sumunod siya kay Jesus sa daan.

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.
