1 After Jesus left, he went to Judeaand then on to the other side of the Jordan River. Once again large crowds came to him, and as usual, he taught them.
2 Some Pharisees wanted to test Jesus. So they came up to him and asked if it was right for a man to divorce his wife. 3 Jesus asked them, "What does the Law of Mosessay about this?"
4 Dt 24.1-4;Mt 5.31.They answered, "Mosesallows a man to write out divorce papers and send his wife away."
5 Jesusreplied, "Moses gave you this law because you are so heartless. 6 Gn 1.27;5.1,2.But in the beginning God made a man and a woman. 7 Gn 2.24.That’s why a man leaves his father and mother and gets married. 8 He becomes like one person with his wife. Then they are no longer two people, but one. 9 And no one should separate a couple that God has joined together."
10 When Jesus and his disciples were back in the house, they asked him about what he had said. 11 Mt 5.32;1 Co 7.10,11.He told them, "A man who divorces his wife and marries someone else is unfaithful to his wife. 12 A woman who divorces her husband10.12 A woman who divorces her husband: Roman law let a woman divorce her husband, but Jewish law did not let a woman do this.and marries again is also unfaithful."
13 Some people brought their children to Jesus so he could bless them by placing his hands on them. But his disciples told the people to stop bothering him.
14 When Jesussaw this, he became angry and said, "Let the children come to me! Don’t try to stop them. People who are like these little children belong to the kingdom of God.10.14 People who are like these little children belong to the kingdom of God: Or "The kingdom of God belongs to people who are like these little children."15 Mt 18.3.I promise you that you cannot get into God’s kingdom, unless you accept it the way a child does." 16 Then Jesus took the children in his arms and blessed them by placing his hands on them.
17 As Jesus was walking down a road, a man ran up to him. He knelt down, and asked, "Good teacher, what can I do to have eternal life?"
18 Jesusreplied, "Why do you call me good? Only God is good. 19 Ex 20.13;Dt 5.17;Ex 20.14;Dt 5.18;Ex 20.15;Dt 5.19;Ex 20.16;Dt 5.20;Ex 20.12;Dt 5.16.You know the commandments. ‘Do not murder. Be faithful in marriage. Do not steal. Do not tell lies about others. Do not cheat. Respect your father and mother.’ "
20 The man answered, "Teacher, I have obeyed all these commandments since I was a young man."
21 Jesuslooked closely at the man. He liked him and said, "There’s one thing you still need to do. Go sell everything you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come with me."
22 When the man heard Jesus say this, he went away gloomy and sad because he was very rich.
23 Jesuslooked around and said to his disciples, "It’s hard for rich people to get into God’s kingdom!" 24 The disciples were shocked to hear this. So Jesus told them again, "It’s terribly hard10.24 hard: Some manuscripts add "for people who trust in their wealth." Others add "for the rich."to get into God’s kingdom! 25 In fact, it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into God’s kingdom."
26 Jesus' disciples were even more amazed. They asked each other, "How can anyone ever be saved?"
27 Jesuslooked at them and said, "There are some things that people cannot do, but God can do anything."
28 Peterreplied, "Remember, we left everything to be your followers!"
29 Jesustold him:
You can be sure that anyone who gives up home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or land for me and for the good news 30 will be rewarded. In this world they will be given 100 times as many houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and pieces of land, though they will also be mistreated. And in the world to come, they will have eternal life. 31 Mt 20.16;Lk 13.30.But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.
32 The disciples were confused as Jesusled them toward Jerusalem, and his other followers were afraid. Once again, Jesustook the twelve disciples aside and told them what was going to happen to him. He said:
33 We are now on our way to Jerusalemwhere the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses. They will sentence him to death and hand him over to foreigners,10.33 foreigners: The Romans who ruled Judea at this time.34 who will make fun of him and spit on him. They will beat him and kill him. But three days later he will rise to life.
35 Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesusand asked, "Teacher, will you do us a favor?"
36 Jesus asked them what they wanted, 37 and they answered, "When you come into your glory, please let one of us sit at your right side and the other at your left."10.37 right side … left: The most powerful people in a kingdom sat at the right and left side of the king.
38 Lk 12.50.Jesustold them, "You don’t really know what you’re asking! Are you able to drink from the cup10.38 drink from the cup: In the Scriptures a "cup" is sometimes used as a symbol of suffering. To "drink from the cup" would be to suffer.that I must soon drink from or be baptized as I must be baptized?"10.38 as I must be baptized: Baptism is used with the same meaning that "cup" has in this verse.
39 "Yes, we are!" James and John answered.
Then Jesusreplied, "You certainly will drink from the cup from which I must drink. And you will be baptized just as I must! 40 But it isn’t for me to say who will sit at my right side and at my left. This is for God to decide."
41 When the ten other disciples heard this, they were angry with Jamesand John. 42 Lk 22.25,26.But Jesuscalled the disciples together and said:
You know that those foreigners who call themselves kings like to order their people around. And their great leaders have full power over the people they rule. 43 Mt 23.11;Mk 9.35;Lk 22.26.But don’t act like them. If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others. 44 And if you want to be first, you must be everyone’s slave. 45 4 Macc 6.29.The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue10.45 rescue: The Greek word often, though not always, means the payment of a price to free a slave or a prisoner.many people.
46 Jesus and his disciples went to Jericho. And as they were leaving, they were followed by a large crowd. A blind beggar by the name of Bartimaeusson of Timaeuswas sitting beside the road. 47 When he heard that it was Jesusfrom Nazareth, he shouted, "Jesus, Son of David,10.47 Son of David: The Jewish people expected the Messiah to be from the family of King David, and for this reason the Messiah was often called the "Son of David."have pity on me!" 48 Many people told the man to stop, but he shouted even louder, "Son of David, have pity on me!"
49 Jesusstopped and said, "Call him over!"
They called out to the blind man and said, "Don’t be afraid! Come on! He is calling for you." 50 The man threw off his coat as he jumped up and ran to Jesus.
51 Jesus asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
The blind man answered, "Master,10.51 Master: A Hebrew word that may also mean "Teacher."I want to see!"
52 Jesustold him, "You may go. Your eyes are healed because of your faith."
At once the man could see, and he went down the road with Jesus.
