Jesus' Teaching about Divorce

And rising up thence he comes into the coasts of Judaea, and the other side of the Jordan. And again crowds come together to him, and, as he was accustomed, again he taught them.

1

Marriage and Divorce

Then 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.

2

And Pharisees coming to [him] asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? (tempting him).

2

The Pharisees came and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” testing Him.

3

But he answering said to them, What did Moses command you?

3

And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”

4

And they said, Moses allowed to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.

4

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

5

And Jesus answering said to them, In view of your hard-heartedness he wrote this commandment for you;

5

And Jesus answered and said to them, “Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this [a]precept.

6

but from [the] beginning of [the] creation God made them male and female.

6

But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’

7

For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be united to his wife,

7

‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

8

and the two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two but one flesh.

8

and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9

What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

9

Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

10

And again in the house the disciples asked him concerning this.

10

In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter.

11

And he says to them, Whosoever shall put away his wife and shall marry another, commits adultery against her.

11

So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

12

And if a woman put away her husband and shall marry another, she commits adultery.

12

And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

13

Jesus Blesses the Children

And they brought little children to him that he might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those that brought [them].

13

Jesus Blesses Little Children

Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14

But Jesus seeing [it], was indignant, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me; forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

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 of such is the kingdom of God.

15

Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.

15

Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

16

And having taken them in his arms, having laid his hands on them, he blessed them.

16

And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

17

The Rich Young Man

And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to [him], and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

17

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

18

But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, [that is] God.

18

So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is 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, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.

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 your mother.’ ”

20

And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth.

20

And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.”

21

And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, [taking up the cross].

21

Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: 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

But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.

22

But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23

And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

23

With God All Things Are Possible

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 amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter into 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 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 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 the kingdom of God.”

26

And they were exceedingly astonished, saying to one another, And who can be saved?

26

And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?”

27

But Jesus looking on them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.

27

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

28

Peter began to say to him, Behold, *we* have left all things and have followed thee.

28

Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”

29

Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, [or wife], or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,

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

that shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time: houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the coming age life eternal.

30

who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time — houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions — and in the age to come, eternal life.

31

But many first shall be last, and the last first.

31

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

32

Third Prediction of Death, Resurrection

And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them; and they were amazed, and were afraid as they followed. And taking the twelve again to [him], he began to tell them what was going to happen to him:

32

Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection

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. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him:

33

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered up to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him up to the nations:

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 shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.

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.”

35

The Request of James and John

And there come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying [to him], Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us.

35

Greatness Is Serving

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 would ye that I should do for you?

36

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

37

And they said to him, Give to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory.

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

And Jesus said to them, Ye do not know what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup which *I* drink, or be baptised with the baptism that *I* am baptised with?

38

But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

39

And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, The cup that *I* drink ye will drink and with the baptism that *I* am baptised with ye will be baptised,

39

They said to Him, “We are able.”
So Jesus said to them, “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 or on my left is not mine to give, but for those for whom it is prepared.

40

but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared.”

41

And the ten having heard [of it], began to be indignant about James and John.

41

And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.

42

But Jesus having called them to [him], says to them, Ye know that those who are esteemed to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them; and their great men exercise authority over them;

42

But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

43

but it is not thus among you; but whosoever would be great among you, shall be your minister;

43

Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

44

and whosoever would be first of you shall be bondman of all.

44

And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.

45

For also the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and give his life a ransom for many.

45

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

46

Jesus Heals Bartimaeus

And they come to Jericho, and as he was going out from Jericho, and his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind [man], sat by the wayside begging.

46

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

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 having heard that it was Jesus the Nazaraean, he began to cry out and to say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me.

47

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48

And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much the more, Son of David, 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

And Jesus, standing still, desired him to be called. And they call the blind [man], saying to him, Be of good courage, rise up, he calls thee.

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 away his garment, he started up and came to Jesus.

50

And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

51

And Jesus answering says to him, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And the blind [man] said to him, Rabboni, that I may see.

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

And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way.

52

Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has [g]made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
