1And he arose from thence and cometh into the borders of Judea, by the other side of the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
2And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? trying him.
3And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5And Jesus answered and said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
6But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;
8and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.
9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10And in the house the disciples asked him again of the same [matter].
11And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her:
12and if a woman putteth away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.
13And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked those that brought [them].
14But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
16And taking them in his arms, he laid his hands upon them, and blessed them.
17And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, [even] God.
19Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother.
20And he answered and said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth.
21And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.
23And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24And the disciples were amazed 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!
25It is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved?
27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
28And Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29And 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 for the gospel's [sake],
30but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.
31But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.
32And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to 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 unto the Gentiles:
34and 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.
35And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.
36And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared.
41And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.
42But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister;
44and whosoever of you would be first, shall be servant of all.
45For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus the blind, was sitting by the way side begging.
47And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, The son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!
48And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me!
49And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee.
50And he, casting away his garment, rose up, and came to Jesus.
51And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.
52And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
