1 耶稣从那里动身, 来到约旦河东的犹太境内。许多人又聚集到他那里, 他像平常一样教导他们。
2 有法利赛人前来试探耶稣, 问他: "丈夫可以休妻吗?"
3 耶稣回答: "摩西吩咐你们的是什么呢?"
4 他们说: "摩西准许‘人写了休书就可以休妻’。"
5 耶稣说: "因为你们的心硬, 摩西才写这条例给你们。
6 但从起初创造的时候, 神是‘造男造女’。
7 ‘因此人要离开父母, 与妻子连合,
8 二人成为一体了。’这样, 他们不再是两个人, 而是一体的了。
9 所以 神所配合的, 人不可分开。"
10 回到屋子里, 门徒再提起这件事来问他。
11 他对他们说: "谁休妻另娶, 谁就是犯奸淫, 得罪了妻子。
12 如果妻子弃夫另嫁, 也是犯了奸淫。"
13 有人带着小孩子到耶稣跟前, 要他抚摩他们; 门徒却责备那些人。
14 耶稣看见了就生气, 对门徒说: "让小孩子到我这里来, 不要禁止他们, 因为 神的国是属于这样的人的。
15 我实在告诉你们, 凡是不像小孩子一样接受 神的国的, 绝对不能进去。"
16 于是耶稣把小孩子抱起来, 为他们按手祝福。
17 耶稣又开始他的行程。那时, 有一个人跑过来, 跪在他面前, 问他说: "良善的老师, 我当作什么, 才可以承受永生?"
18 耶稣对他说: "你为什么称我是良善的?除了 神一位以外, 没有良善的。
19 诫命你是知道的: 不可杀人, 不可奸淫, 不可偷盗, 不可作假证供, 不可欺诈, 当孝敬父母。"
20 他对耶稣说: "老师, 这一切我从小都遵守了。"
21 耶稣看着他, 就爱他, 对他说: "你还缺少一件: 去变卖你所有的, 分给穷人, 就必定有财宝在天上, 而且你要来跟从我。"
22 那人听见这话, 就变了脸色, 忧忧愁愁地走了, 因为他的财产很多。
23 耶稣周围观看, 对门徒说: "富有的人要进 神的国, 是多么难哪! "
24 门徒都希奇他的话, 耶稣又对他们说: "孩子们哪, (有些抄本在此有"倚靠钱财的人"一句)要进 神的国, 是多么困难!
25 骆驼穿过针眼, 比有钱的人进 神的国还容易呢! "
26 门徒就更加惊奇, 彼此说: "这样, 谁可以得救呢?"
27 耶稣看着他们, 说: "在人不能, 在 神却不然, 因为在 神凡事都能。"
28 彼得对他说: "你看, 我们已经舍弃了一切, 而且来跟从你了。"
29 耶稣说: "我实在告诉你们, 人为着我和福音舍弃了房屋、弟兄、姊妹、母亲、父亲、儿女、田地,
30 没有不在今生得百倍──就是房屋、弟兄、姊妹、母亲、儿女、田地, 同时要受迫害──在来世还要得永生。
31 然而许多在前的将要在后, 在后的将要在前。"
32 在上耶路撒冷的路途中, 耶稣走在前面, 门徒希奇, 跟从的人也害怕。耶稣又把十二门徒带到一边, 把自己将要遭遇的事告诉他们,
33 说: "我们现在上耶路撒冷去, 人子要被交给祭司长和经学家, 他们要定他的罪, 并且把他交给外族人。
34 他们要凌辱他, 向他吐唾沫, 鞭打他, 杀害他, 三天以后, 他要复活。"
35 西庇太的儿子雅各、约翰, 来到耶稣跟前, 对他说: "老师, 我们无论向你求什么, 愿你为我们作成。"
36 耶稣说: "要我为你们作什么?"
37 他们说: "在你的荣耀里, 让我们一个坐在你的右边, 一个坐在你的左边。"
38 耶稣说: "你们不知道你们求的是什么。我喝的杯, 你们能喝吗?我受的洗, 你们能受吗?"
39 他们说: "能。"耶稣说: "我喝的杯, 你们固然要喝; 我受的洗, 你们也要受。
40 只是坐在我的左右, 不是我可以赐的, 而是 神预备赐给谁, 就赐给谁。"
41 其他十个门徒听见了, 就向雅各、约翰生气。
42 耶稣把他们叫过来, 对他们说: "你们知道各国都有被尊为元首的统治他们, 也有官长管辖他们。
43 但你们中间却不要这样; 谁想在你们中间为大的, 就要作你们的仆役,
44 谁想在你们中间为首的, 就要作大家的奴仆。
45 因为人子来, 不是要受人服事, 而是要服事人, 并且要舍命, 作许多人的赎价。"
46 他们进了耶利哥。耶稣、门徒和一大群人从耶利哥出来的时候, 有一个瞎眼的人, 是底买的儿子, 名叫巴底买, 坐在路旁讨饭。
47 他听见是拿撒勒人耶稣, 就喊叫, 说: "大卫的子孙耶稣啊, 可怜我吧! "
48 许多人斥责他, 叫他不要出声; 他却更加放声喊叫: "大卫的子孙啊, 可怜我吧! "
49 耶稣就站住, 说: "把他叫过来。"他们就叫那瞎眼的人, 对他说: "放心吧, 起来, 他叫你了。"
50 他就丢下衣服, 跳起来, 走到耶稣那里。
51 耶稣对他说: "你要我为你作什么呢?"瞎眼的人对他说: "拉波尼, 我要能看见。"
52 耶稣说: "去吧, 你的信使你痊愈了。"他立刻看见了, 就在路上跟随耶稣。
1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judæa and beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
2 And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? trying him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; 8 and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her: 12 and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.
13 And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God. 15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. 16 And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.
17 And 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? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, even God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother. 20 And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth. 21 And 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. 22 But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that 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 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! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved? 27 Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God. 28 Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake, 30 but 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 world to come eternal life. 31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
32 And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed 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 the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles: 34 and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.
35 And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee. 36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? 37 And 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. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? 39 And 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: 40 but to sit on my right hand or on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared. 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John. 42 And 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. 43 But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister; 44 and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all. 45 For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timæus, Bartimæus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And 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. 49 And 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. 50 And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus. 51 And 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. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way.
