Crowds gathered around him again, and he taught them as he usually did.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, "Can a husband divorce his wife?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Jesus answered them, "What command did Moses give you?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>They said, "Moses allowed a man to give his wife a written notice to divorce her." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Jesus said to them, "He wrote this command for you because you're heartless. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>But God made them male and female in the beginning, at creation. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>That's why a man will leave his father and mother and will remain united with his wife, <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>and the two will be one. So they are no longer two but one. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Therefore, don't let anyone separate what God has joined together."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>When they were in a house, the disciples asked him about this. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He answered them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>If a wife divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Some people brought little children to Jesus to have him hold them. But the disciples told the people not to do that. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>When Jesus saw this, he became irritated. He told them, "Don't stop the children from coming to me. Children like these are part of the kingdom of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>I can guarantee this truth: Whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child receives it will never enter it." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Jesus put his arms around the children and blessed them by placing his hands on them.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>As Jesus was coming out to the road, a man came running to him and knelt in front of him. He asked Jesus, "Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>You know the commandments: Never murder. Never commit adultery. Never steal. Never give false testimony. Never cheat. Honor your father and mother." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>The man replied, "Teacher, I've obeyed all these commandments since I was a boy." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Jesus looked at him and loved him. He told him, "You're still missing one thing. Sell everything you have. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>When the man heard that, he looked unhappy and went away sad, because he owned a lot of property.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for rich people to enter the kingdom of God!" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>The disciples were stunned by his words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>This amazed his disciples more than ever. They asked each other, "Who, then, can be saved?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Jesus looked at them and said, "It's impossible for people [to save themselves], but it's not impossible for God to save them. Everything is possible for God."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Then Peter spoke up, "We've given up everything to follow you." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Jesus said, "I can guarantee this truth: Anyone who gave up his home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or fields because of me and the Good News <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>will certainly receive a hundred times as much here in this life. They will certainly receive homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields, along with persecutions. But in the world to come they will receive eternal life. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Jesus and his disciples were on their way to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking ahead of them. His disciples were shocked [that he was going to Jerusalem]. The others who followed were afraid. Once again he took the twelve apostles aside. He began to tell them what was going to happen to him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>"We're going to Jerusalem. There the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to foreigners. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>They will make fun of him, spit on him, whip him, and kill him. But after three days he will come back to life."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>James and John, sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus. They said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do us a favor." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>"What do you want me to do for you?" he asked them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>They said to him, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>Jesus said, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink the cup that I'm going to drink? Can you be baptized with the baptism that I'm going to receive?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>"We can," they told him. Jesus told them, "You will drink the cup that I'm going to drink. You will be baptized with the baptism that I'm going to receive. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>But I don't have the authority to grant you a seat at my right or left. Those positions have already been prepared for certain people."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>When the other ten apostles heard about it, they were irritated with James and John. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-42.htm"><b>42</b></a></span>Jesus called the apostles and said, "You know that the acknowledged rulers of nations have absolute power over people and their officials have absolute authority over people. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-43.htm"><b>43</b></a></span>But that's not the way it's going to be among you. Whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-44.htm"><b>44</b></a></span>Whoever wants to be most important among you will be a slave for everyone. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>It's the same way with the Son of Man. He didn't come so that others could serve him. He came to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus, his disciples, and many people were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-47.htm"><b>47</b></a></span>When he heard that Jesus from Nazareth [was passing by], he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-48.htm"><b>48</b></a></span>The people told him to be quiet. But he shouted even louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-49.htm"><b>49</b></a></span>Jesus stopped and said, "Call him!" They called the blind man and told him, "Cheer up! Get up! He's calling you." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-50.htm"><b>50</b></a></span>The blind man threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus. <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-51.htm"><b>51</b></a></span>Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said, "Teacher, I want to see again." <span class="reftext"><a href="/mark/10-52.htm"><b>52</b></a></span>Jesus told him, "Go, your faith has made you well." At once he could see again, and he followed Jesus on the road.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of <a href="//www.godsword.org" target="_top">God's Word to the Nations</a>.
