Mark Chapter 10

2 But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.

3 And he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

4 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s shall save it.

5 For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

6 For what should a man give in exchange for his life?

7 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

8 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand

9 by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

10 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them;

11 and his garments became glistering, exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten them.

12 And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

13 And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

14 For he knew not what to answer; for they became sore afraid.

15 And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear ye him.

16 And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

17 And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead.

18 And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean.

19 And they asked him, saying,

20 How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?

21 And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought?

22 But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him.

23 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them.

24 And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

25 And he asked them, What question ye with them?

26 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit;

27 and wheresoever it taketh him, it dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able.

28 And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me.

29 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

30 And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child.

31 And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.

32 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth.

33 Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

34 And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

35 And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and

36 the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead.

37 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.

38 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately,

39 How is it that we could not cast it out?

40 And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer.

41 And they went forth from thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.

42 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again.

43 But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

44 And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reasoning on the way?

45 But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who

46 was the greatest.

47 And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.

48 And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,

49 Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

50 John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us.

51 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

52 For he that is not against us is for us.

1 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.

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

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

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

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

6 but from [the] beginning of [the] creationGod made them male and female.

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

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

9 What thereforeGod has joined together, let not man separate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

17 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?

18 But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou 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.

20 And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I 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].

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

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

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 ofGod!

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 ofGod.

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

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

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

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,

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.

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

32 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:

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:

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.

35 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.

36 And he said to them, What would ye that I should 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.

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?

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,

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.

41 And the ten having heard [of it], began to be indignant about 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;

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

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

46 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.

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.

48 And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much 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.

50 And, throwing away his garment, he started up 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.

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

1 Et inde exurgens venit in fines Iudææ ultra Iordanem: et conveniunt iterum turbæ ad eum: et sicut consueverat, iterum docebat illos.

2 Et accedentes Pharisæi interrogabant eum: Si licet viro uxorem dimittere: tentantes eum.

3 At ille respondens, dixit eis: Quid vobis præcepit Moyses?

4 Qui dixerunt: Moyses permisit libellum repudii scribere, et dimittere.

5 Quibus respondens Iesus, ait: Ad duritiam cordis vestri scripsit vobis præceptum istud.

6 ab initio autem creaturæ masculum, et feminam fecit eos Deus.

7 Propter hoc relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhærebit ad uxorem suam:

8 et erunt duo in carne una. Itaque iam non sunt duo, sed una caro.

9 Quod ergo Deus coniunxit, homo non separet.

10 Et in domo iterum discipuli eius de eodem interrogaverunt eum.

11 Et ait illis: Quicumque dimiserit uxorem suam, et aliam duxerit, adulterium committit super eam.

12 Et si uxor dimiserit virum suum, et alii nupserit, mœchatur.

13 Et offerebant illi parvulos ut tangeret illos. Discipuli autem comminabantur offerentibus.

14 Quos cum videret Iesus, indigne tulit, et ait illis: Sinite parvulos venire ad me, et ne prohibueritis eos: talium enim est regnum Dei.

15 Amen dico vobis: Quisquis non receperit regnum Dei velut parvulus, non intrabit in illud.

16 Et complexans eos, et imponens manus super illos, benedicebat eos.

17 Et cum egressus esset in viam, procurrens quidam genu flexo ante eum, rogabat eum: Magister bone, quid faciam ut vitam æternam percipiam?

18 Iesus autem dixit ei: Quid me dicis bonum? Nemo bonus, nisi unus Deus.

19 Præcepta nosti: Ne adulteres, Ne occidas, Ne fureris, Ne falsum testimonium dixeris, Ne fraudum feceris, Honora patrem tuum et matrem.

20 At ille respondens, ait illi: Magister, hæc omnia observavi a iuventute mea.

21 Iesus autem intuitus eum, dilexit eum, et dixit ei: Unum tibi deest: vade, quæcumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in cælo: et veni, sequere me.

22 Qui contristatus in verbo, abiit mœrens: erat enim habens multas possessiones.

23 Et circumspiciens Iesus, ait discipulis suis: Quam difficile qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei introibunt!

24 Discipuli autem obstupescebant in verbis eius. At Iesus rursus respondens ait illis: Filioli, quam difficile est, confidentes in pecuniis, in regnum Dei introire!

25 Facilius est, camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.

26 Qui magis admirabantur, dicentes ad semetipsos: Et quis potest salvus fieri?

27 Et intuens illos Iesus, ait: Apud homines impossibile est, sed non apud Deum: omnia enim possibilia sunt apud Deum.

28 Et cœpit ei Petrus dicere: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia, et secuti sumus te.

29 Respondens Iesus, ait: Amen dico vobis: Nemo est, qui reliquerit domum, aut fratres, aut sorores, aut patrem, aut matrem, aut filios, aut agros propter me, et propter Evangelium,

30 qui non accipiat centies tantum, nunc in tempore hoc: domos, et fratres, et sorores, et matres, et filios, et agros, cum persecutionibus, et in sæculo futuro vitam æternam.

31 Multi autem erunt primi novissimi, et novissimi primi.

32 Erant autem in via ascendentes Ierosolymam: et præcedebat illos Iesus, et stupebant: et sequentes timebant. Et assumens iterum duodecim, cœpit illis dicere quæ essent ei eventura.

33 Quia ecce ascendimus Ierosolymam, et Filius hominis tradetur principibus sacerdotum, et Scribis, et senioribus, et damnabunt eum morte, et tradent eum gentibus:

34 et illudent ei, et conspuent eum, et flagellabunt eum, et interficient eum: et tertia die resurget.

35 Et accedunt ad eum Iacobus, et Ioannes filii Zebedæi, dicentes: Magister, volumus ut quodcumque petierimus, facias nobis.

36 At ille dixit eis: Quid vultis ut faciam vobis?

37 Et dixerunt: Da nobis ut unus ad dexteram tuam, et alius ad sinistram tuam sedeamus in gloria tua.

38 Iesus autem ait eis: Nescitis quid petatis: potestis bibere calicem, quem ego bibo: aut baptismo, quo ego baptizor, baptizari?

39 At illi dixerunt ei: Possumus. Iesus autem ait eis: Calicem quidem, quem ego bibo, bibetis; et baptismo, quo ego baptizor, baptizabimini:

40 sedere autem ad dexteram meam, vel ad sinistram, non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus paratum est.

41 Et audientes decem cœperunt indignari de Iacobo, et Ioanne.

42 Iesus autem vocans eos, ait illis: Scitis quia hi, qui videntur principari gentibus, dominantur eis: et principes eorum potestatem habent ipsorum.

43 Non ita est autem in vobis, sed quicumque voluerit fieri maior, erit vester minister:

44 et quicumque voluerit in vobis primus esse, erit omnium servus.

45 Nam et Filius hominis non venit ut ministraretur ei, sed ut ministraret, et daret animam suam redemptionem pro multis.

46 Et veniunt Iericho: et proficiscente eo de Iericho, et discipulis eius, et plurima multitudine, filius Timæ Bartimæus cæcus, sedebat iuxta viam mendicans.

47 Qui cum audisset quia Iesus Nazarenus est, cœpit clamare, et dicere: Iesu fili David, miserere mei.

48 Et comminabantur ei multi ut taceret. At ille multo magis clamabat: Fili David miserere mei.

49 Et stans Iesus præcepit illum vocari. Et vocant cæcum dicentes ei: Animæquior esto: surge, vocat te.

50 Qui proiecto vestimento suo exiliens, venit ad eum.

51 Et respondens Iesus dixit illi: Quid tibi vis faciam? Cæcus autem dixit ei: Rabboni, ut videam.

52 Iesus autem ait illi: Vade, fides tua te salvum fecit. Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur eum in via.

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.

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

3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.”

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

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?”

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

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.’”

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

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.”

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

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

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!

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.”

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

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

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

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,

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.”

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

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.”

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?”

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;

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.”

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

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.

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

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

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.”

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.

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!”

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

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

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

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.”

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.

31 πολλοι δε εσονται πρωτοι εσχατοι και [οι] εσχατοι πρωτοι

32 ησαν δε εν τη οδω αναβαινοντες εις ιεροσολυμα και ην προαγων αυτους ο ιησους και εθαμβουντο οι δε ακολουθουντες εφοβουντο και παραλαβων παλιν τους δωδεκα ηρξατο αυτοις λεγειν τα μελλοντα αυτω συμβαινειν

33 οτι ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και ο υιος του ανθρωπου παραδοθησεται τοις αρχιερευσιν και τοις γραμματευσιν και κατακρινουσιν αυτον θανατω και παραδωσουσιν αυτον τοις εθνεσιν

34 και εμπαιξουσιν αυτω και εμπτυσουσιν αυτω και μαστιγωσουσιν αυτον και αποκτενουσιν και μετα τρεις ημερας αναστησεται

35 και προσπορευονται αυτω ιακωβος και ιωαννης οι [δυο] υιοι ζεβεδαιου λεγοντες αυτω διδασκαλε θελομεν ινα ο εαν αιτησωμεν σε ποιησης ημιν

36 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις τι θελετε ποιησω υμιν

37 οι δε ειπαν αυτω δος ημιν ινα εις σου εκ δεξιων και εις εξ αριστερων καθισωμεν εν τη δοξη σου

38 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ουκ οιδατε τι αιτεισθε δυνασθε πιειν το ποτηριον ο εγω πινω η το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθηναι

39 οι δε ειπαν αυτω δυναμεθα ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις το ποτηριον ο εγω πινω πιεσθε και το βαπτισμα ο εγω βαπτιζομαι βαπτισθησεσθε

40 το δε καθισαι εκ δεξιων μου η εξ ευωνυμων ουκ εστιν εμον δουναι αλλ οις ητοιμασται

41 και ακουσαντες οι δεκα ηρξαντο αγανακτειν περι ιακωβου και ιωαννου

42 και προσκαλεσαμενος αυτους ο ιησους λεγει αυτοις οιδατε οτι οι δοκουντες αρχειν των εθνων κατακυριευουσιν αυτων και οι μεγαλοι αυτων κατεξουσιαζουσιν αυτων

43 ουχ ουτως δε εστιν εν υμιν αλλ ος αν θελη μεγας γενεσθαι εν υμιν εσται υμων διακονος

44 και ος αν θελη εν υμιν ειναι πρωτος εσται παντων δουλος

45 και γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ουκ ηλθεν διακονηθηναι αλλα διακονησαι και δουναι την ψυχην αυτου λυτρον αντι πολλων

46 και ερχονται εις ιεριχω και εκπορευομενου αυτου απο ιεριχω και των μαθητων αυτου και οχλου ικανου ο υιος τιμαιου βαρτιμαιος τυφλος προσαιτης εκαθητο παρα την οδον

47 και ακουσας οτι ιησους ο ναζαρηνος εστιν ηρξατο κραζειν και λεγειν υιε δαυιδ ιησου ελεησον με

48 και επετιμων αυτω πολλοι ινα σιωπηση ο δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με

49 και στας ο ιησους ειπεν φωνησατε αυτον και φωνουσιν τον τυφλον λεγοντες αυτω θαρσει εγειρε φωνει σε

50 ο δε αποβαλων το ιματιον αυτου αναπηδησας ηλθεν προς τον ιησουν

51 και αποκριθεις αυτω ο ιησους ειπεν τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε τυφλος ειπεν αυτω ραββουνι ινα αναβλεψω

52 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω υπαγε η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε και ευθυς ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω εν τη οδω

1 And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.

2 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,

3 and he answering said to them, `What did Moses command you?'

4 and they said, `Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'

5 And Jesus answering said to them, `For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,

6 but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;

7 on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,

8 and they shall be--the two--for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;

9 what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'

10 And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,

11 and he saith to them, `Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;

12 and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.'

13 And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,

14 and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, `Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

15 verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child--he may not enter into it;'

16 and having taken them in his arms, having put <FI>his<Fi> hands upon them, he was blessing them.

17 And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, `Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?'

18 And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one <FI>is<Fi> good except One--God;

19 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.'

20 And he answering said to him, `Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'

21 And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, `One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast--sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'

22 And he--gloomy at the word--went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.

23 And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, `How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!'

24 And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, `Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!

25 It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'

26 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, `And who is able to be saved?'

27 And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, `With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'

28 And Peter began to say to him, `Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'

29 And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',

30 who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;

31 and many first shall be last, and the last first.'

32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,

33 --`Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations,

34 and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.'

35 And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, `Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;'

36 and he said to them, `What do ye wish me to do for you?'

37 and they said to him, `Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;'

38 and Jesus said to them, `Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with--to be baptized?'

39 And they said to him, `We are able;' and Jesus said to them, `Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;

40 but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but--to those for whom it hath been prepared.'

41 And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,

42 but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, `Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

43 but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,

44 and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;

45 for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

46 And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus--Bartimaeus the blind--was sitting beside the way begging,

47 and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, `The Son of David--Jesus! deal kindly with me;'

48 and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

49 And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, `Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;'

50 and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.

51 And answering, Jesus saith to him, `What wilt thou I may do to thee?' and the blind man said to him, `Rabboni, that I may see again;'

52 and Jesus said to him, `Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Explain Like I'm 10

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
