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} creation God 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 therefore God 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 of God.

15 Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God 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 of God!

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 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 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 with God; for all things are possible with God.

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 Na ka whakatika ia i reira, haere ana ki nga wahi o Huria ki tera taha o Horano: na ka huihui mai ano nga mano ki a ia; ka whakaako ano ia i a ratou, ko tana tikanga hoki tera.

2 Na ka haere mai nga Parihi, ka ui ki a ia, He mea tika ranei kia whakarere te tangata i tana wahine? he whakamatautau hoki mona.

3 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, he aha ta Mohi i mea ai ki a koutou?

4 Ka ki ratou, I tukua e Mohi kia tuhituhia he pukapuka whakarere, ka whakarere ai.

5 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Na te pakeke o o koutou ngakau i tuhituhia ai e ia tenei kupu ako ki a koutou.

6 I te orokohanganga ia, i hanga raua e te Atua he tane, he wahine.

7 Mo konei ka mahue i te tangata tona papa me tona whaea, ka piri ki tana wahine;

8 Hei kikokiko kotahi hoki raua tokorua: na heoi ano to raua tokoruatanga, engari kotahi ano kikokiko.

9 Na, ko a te Atua i hono ai, kaua e wehea e te tangata.

10 A i te whare ka ui ano ana akonga ki a ia ki taua mea.

11 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, a ka marena i tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia, e hara ana ki tera.

12 Ki te whakarere hoki te wahine i tana tane, a ka marenatia ki tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia.

13 Na ka kawea mai ki a ia etahi tamariki nonohi, kia pa ai ia ki a ratou: otira ka riria e nga akonga te hunga nana i kawe mai.

14 No te kitenga ia o Ihu, ka riri, ka mea ki a ratou, Tukua nga tamariki nohohi kia haere mai ki ahau, kaua hoki ratou e araia atu: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

15 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore e rite te tango a tetahi i te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki ta te tamaiti nohinohi, e kore ia e tomo ki roto.

16 Na okookona ana ratou e ia, whakapakia iho ona ringa ki a ratou, manaakitia ana ratou.

17 Na, i a ia e haere ana i te huarahi, ka oma mai tetahi, ka tuku iho i nga turi ki a ia, ka ui, E te Kaiwhakaako pai, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu?

18 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, He aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he pai? kahore tetahi i pai, kotahi anake, ko te Atua.

19 E matau ana koe ki nga ture, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka, Kaua e kaia, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea.

20 Na ka whakahoki tera, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, kua rite katoa enei mea i ahau no toku tamarikitanga ake.

21 Na ka titiro a Ihu ki a ia, ka aroha ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kotahi te mea kahore nei i a koe: haere, hokona au mea, ka hoatu ki nga rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: katahi ka haere mai, ka aru i ahau.

22 Otira ka tuku tona mata i taua kupu, a haere pouri atu ana: he maha hoki ona taonga.

23 Na ka tirotiro a Ihu, ka mea ki ana akonga, Ano te whakauaua o te tapoko o te hunga taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!

24 Na ka miharo nga akonga ki ana kupu. Otira ka whakahoki ano a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, E tama ma, ano te whakauaua o te tapoko ki to te Atua rangatiratanga o te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki nga taonga!

25 Erangi te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira he mea takoto noa, he whakauaua rawa ia te haere o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

26 Na rahi rawa to ratou miharo, ka mea ki a ratou ano, Ko wai ra e ora?

27 Na ka titiro a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, E kore tenei e taea e te tangata, ki te Atua ia ka taea: e taea hoki nga mea katoa e te Atua.

28 Katahi ka anga a Pita ka mea ki a ia, Na kua mahue nei i a matou nga mea katoa, kua aru nei i a koe.

29 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te whakarerea e tetahi tangata, he whare, he teina, he tuahine, he whaea, he papa, he tamariki, he mara, he whakaaro nona ki ahau, ki te rongopai hoki,

30 Ina, tataki rau nga mea e riro i a ia, i tenei wa, he whare, he teina, he tuahine, he whaea, he tamariki, he mara, me te whakatoi; a, i te ao meake puta, he ora tonu.

31 He tokomaha ia o mua e waiho ki muri; ko o muri hoki ki mua.

32 Na i te huarahi ratou e haere ana ki Hiruharama; me te haere ano a Ihu i mua i a ratou: na e miharo ana ratou; e aru mataku ana. Heoi ka mau ano ia i te tekau ma rua, ka anga ka korero ki a ratou i nga mea meake pa ki a ia.

33 Nana, e haere ana tenei tatou ki Hiruharama; a ka tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga tohunga nui, ki nga karaipi; ka kiia e ratou kia mate, ka tuku hoki ratou i a ia ki nga tauiwi:

34 Ka tawaia ia, ka tuwhaina, ka whiua, ka whakamatea, a i te toru o nga ra ka ara.

35 Na ka whakatata mai ki a ia a Hemi raua ko Hoani, nga tama a Heperi, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e hiahia ana maua kia meatia e koe ta maua e inoi ai.

36 Na ka mea ia ki a raua, He aha ta korua e hiahia ai kia meatia e ahau ma korua?

37 Ka mea raua ki a ia, Tukua ki a maua kia noho, tetahi ki tou matau, tetahi ki tou maui, i tou kororia.

38 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a raua, Kahore korua e matau ki ta korua e inoi nei; e ahei ranei korua te inu i te kapu ka inumia nei e ahau? kia iriiria ki te iriiringa ka iriiria nei ahau?

39 Ka mea raua ki a ia, E ahei ano. Ka ki atu a Ihu ki a raua, E inu ano korua i te kapu ka inumia e ahau; e iriiria korua ki te iriiringa e iriiria ai ahau:

40 Tena ko te noho ki toku matau, ki toku maui ranei, ehara i te mea maku e hoatu, engari ka riro i te hunga i whakaritea nei mo ratou.

41 A, no te rongonga o te tekau, ka anga ka riri ki a Hemi raua ko Hoani.

42 Na karangatia ana ratou e Ihu ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E mahara ana koutou, ko te hunga e kiia ana he kawana no nga tauiwi hei whakatupu rangatira ki a ratou; ko o ratou tangata rarahi hoki hei akiaki i a ratou.

43 Otira e kore e pera i roto i a koutou: engari ki te mea tetahi kia whakatupu tangata rahi i roto i a koutou, me whakatupu kaimahi ia ma koutou:

44 Ki te mea hoki tetahi o koutou kia whakatupu tino tangata, me whakatupu pononga ia ma te katoa.

45 Kihai nei hoki te Tama a te tangata i haere mai kia mahia he mea mana, engari kia mahi ia, kia tuku hoki i a ia kia mate hei utu mo nga tangata tokomaha.

46 Na ka tae ratou ki Heriko: a, i a ia e haere atu ana i roto i Heriko, ratou ko ana akonga me te mano tini, e noho ana a paratimiuha, tama a Timiuha, he matapo, i te taha o te ara, ki te tono mea mana.

47 A, i tona rongonga ko Ihu o Nahareta tena, ka anga ia ka karanga, ka mea, E ihu, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.

48 A he tokomaha ki te riri i a ia kia noho puku, heoi tino rahi ake tana karanga, E te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.

49 Na ka tu a Ihu, ka mea kia karangatia ia. A karangatia ana e ratou te matapo, ka mea ki a ia, Kia maia, whakatika; e karanga ana ia ki a koe.

50 Na ka whakarerea e ia tona kakahu, a whakatika ana, haere ana ki a Ihu.

51 Na ka oho a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, He aha tau e hiahia na kia meatia e ahau mau? Ka ki te matapo ki a ia, E te Ariki, kia titiro ahau.

52 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Haere: na tou whakapono koe i ora ai. Na titiro tonu iho ia, aru ana i a Ihu i te ara.
