The Good News According to Mark

capitolul 10


Capitole:


versetul 1

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.


versetul 2

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


versetul 3

He answered, “What did Moses command you?”


versetul 4

They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”


versetul 5

But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.


versetul 6

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


versetul 7

For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,


versetul 8

and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.


versetul 9

What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”


versetul 10

In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.


versetul 11

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


versetul 12

If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”


versetul 13

They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.


versetul 14

But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.


versetul 15

Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”


versetul 16

He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.


versetul 17

As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”


versetul 18

Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.


versetul 19

You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’”


versetul 20

He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”


versetul 21

Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”


versetul 22

But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.


versetul 23

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!”


versetul 24

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!


versetul 25

It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”


versetul 26

They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”


versetul 27

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


versetul 28

Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all and have followed you.”


versetul 29

Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,


versetul 30

but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.


versetul 31

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


versetul 32

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.


versetul 33

“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.


versetul 34

They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”


versetul 35

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”


versetul 36

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


versetul 37

They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left hand, in your glory.”


versetul 38

But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”


versetul 39

They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;


versetul 40

but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”


versetul 41

When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John.


versetul 42

Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.


versetul 43

But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.


versetul 44

Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all.


versetul 45

For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”


versetul 46

They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.


versetul 47

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”


versetul 48

Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”


versetul 49

Jesus stood still and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”


versetul 50

He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.


versetul 51

Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may see again.”


versetul 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.
