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.
02 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him,
Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
tempting him.
03 And he answered and said unto them, What did
Moses command you?
04 And they said, Moses suffered
to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her
away.
05 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the
hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
06 But from the beginning
of the creation God made them male and female.
07 For this cause shall a
man leave his father and mother, and cleave to
his wife;
08 And they twain shall be
one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but
one flesh.
09 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.
