Crowds gathered around him as usual, and he began to teach them again as was his custom. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-2.htm">2</a>Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-3.htm">3</a>“What did Moses command you?” he responded. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-4.htm">4</a>They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to divorce her.”<a href="#ftn" title="10:4 Cf. Deut 24:1, 3">c</a> <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-5.htm">5</a>But Jesus told them, “It was because of your hardness of heart that he wrote this command for you. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-6.htm">6</a>But from the beginning of creation, ‘God<a href="#ftn" title="10:6 Other mss. read He">d</a> made them male and female.’<a href="#ftn" title="10:6 Cf. Gen 1:27; 5:2">e</a> <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-7.htm">7</a>That’s why ‘a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-8.htm">8</a>and the two will become one flesh.’<a href="#ftn" title="10:8 Cf. Gen 2:24">f</a> So they’re no longer two, but one flesh. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-9.htm">9</a>Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-10.htm">10</a>Back in the house, the disciples asked him about this again. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-11.htm">11</a>So he told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-12.htm">12</a>And if a woman<a href="#ftn" title="10:12 Lit. she">g</a> divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.” Jesus Blesses the Little Children(<a href="http://isv.scripturetext.com/matthew/19.htm">Matthew 19:13-15</a>; <a href="http://isv.scripturetext.com/luke/18.htm">Luke 18:15-17</a>)<a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-13.htm">13</a>Some people<a href="#ftn" title="10:13 Lit.

All things are possible for God.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-28.htm">28</a>Then Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-29.htm">29</a>Jesus said, “I tell all of you<a href="#ftn" title="10:29 The Gk. pronoun you is pl.">z</a> with certainty, there is no one who has left his home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or fields because of me and the gospel <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-30.htm">30</a>who will not receive a hundred times as much here in this world—homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, along with persecution—as well as eternal life in the age to come. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-31.htm">31</a>But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-32.htm">32</a>Now Jesus and his disciples<a href="#ftn" title="10:32 Lit. They">aa</a> had been on the road going up to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking ahead of them. They were astonished, and the others who followed were afraid. Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection a Third Time(<a href="http://isv.scripturetext.com/matthew/20.htm">Matthew 20:17-19</a>; <a href="http://isv.scripturetext.com/luke/18.htm">Luke 18:31-34</a>)Once again, Jesus<a href="#ftn" title="10:32 Lit. he">bb</a> took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-33.htm">33</a>“Pay attention! We’re going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and the scribes, and they’ll condemn him to death.

But after three days he’ll be raised.” The Request of James and John(<a href="http://isv.scripturetext.com/matthew/20.htm">Matthew 20:20-28</a>)<a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-35.htm">35</a>James and John, the sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus<a href="#ftn" title="10:35 Lit. him">dd</a> and told him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-36.htm">36</a>He asked them, “What do you want me to do for you?” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-37.htm">37</a>They asked him, “Let us sit in your glory, one on your right and one on your left.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-38.htm">38</a>But Jesus told them, “You don’t realize what you’re asking. Can you drink from the cup that I’m going to drink from or be baptized with the baptism with which I’m going to be baptized?” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-39.htm">39</a>They told him, “We can.” Jesus told them, “You will drink from the cup that I’m going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I’m going to be baptized. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-40.htm">40</a>But it’s not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-41.htm">41</a>When the ten other disciples<a href="#ftn" title="10:41 The Gk. lacks other disciples">ee</a> heard this, they began to be furious with James and John. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-42.htm">42</a>Jesus called his disciples<a href="#ftn" title="10:42 Lit. called them">ff</a> and told them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers among the unbelievers<a href="#ftn" title="10:42 Lit. gentiles ; i.e. unbelieving non-Jews">gg</a> lord it over them, and their superiors act like tyrants over them. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-43.htm">43</a>That’s not the way it should be among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-44.htm">44</a>and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to everyone, <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-45.htm">45</a>because even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people.” Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus(<a href="http://isv.scripturetext.com/matthew/20.htm">Matthew 20:29-34</a>; <a href="http://isv.scripturetext.com/luke/18.htm">Luke 18:35-43</a>)<a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-46.htm">46</a>Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus,<a href="#ftn" title="10:46 Lit. he">hh</a> his disciples, and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (that is, the son of Timaeus) was sitting by the road. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-47.htm">47</a>When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was there, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-48.htm">48</a>Many people sternly told him to be quiet, but he started shouting even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-49.htm">49</a>So Jesus stopped and said, “Call him!” So they called the blind man and told him, “Have courage! Get up. He’s calling you.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-50.htm">50</a>He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus. <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-51.htm">51</a>Then Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man told him, “Rabbouni,<a href="#ftn" title="10:51 Rabbouni is Heb. for My Master and/or Teacher">ii</a> I want to see again.” <a href="http://biblehub.com/mark/10-52.htm">52</a>Jesus told him, “Go.
