1 And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them.

1 καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀναστὰς ἔρχεται εἰς τὰ ὅρια τῆς ἰουδαίας [καὶ] πέραν τοῦ ἰορδάνου, καὶ συμπορεύονται πάλιν ὄχλοι πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ὡς εἰώθει πάλιν ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.

2 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,

2 καὶ προσελθόντες φαρισαῖοι ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν εἰ ἔξεστιν ἀνδρὶ γυναῖκα ἀπολῦσαι, πειράζοντες αὐτόν.

3 and he answering said to them, `What did Moses command you?'

3 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, τί ὑμῖν ἐνετείλατο μωϊσῆς;

4 and they said, `Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'

4 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, ἐπέτρεψεν μωϊσῆς βιβλίον ἀποστασίου γράψαι καὶ ἀπολῦσαι.

5 And Jesus answering said to them, `For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,

5 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, πρὸς τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν τὴν ἐντολὴν ταύτην.

6 but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;

6 ἀπὸ δὲ ἀρχῆς κτίσεως ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς·

7 on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,

7 ἕνεκεν τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν μητέρα [καὶ προσκολληθήσεται πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ],

8 and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;

8 καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν· ὥστε οὐκέτι εἰσὶν δύο ἀλλὰ μία σάρξ.

9 what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'

9 ὃ οὗν ὁ θεὸς συνέζευξεν ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω.

10 And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,

10 καὶ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν πάλιν οἱ μαθηταὶ περὶ τούτου ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν.

11 and he saith to them, `Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her;

11 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην μοιχᾶται ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν,

12 and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.'

12 καὶ ἐὰν αὐτὴ ἀπολύσασα τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς γαμήσῃ ἄλλον μοιχᾶται.

13 And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,

13 καὶ προσέφερον αὐτῶ παιδία ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅψηται· οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμησαν αὐτοῖς.

14 and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, `Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

14 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ἰησοῦς ἠγανάκτησεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με, μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά, τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.

15 verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child -- he may not enter into it;'

15 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.

16 and having taken them in his arms, having put `his' hands upon them, he was blessing them.

16 καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὰ κατευλόγει τιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ᾽ αὐτά.

17 And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, `Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?'

17 καὶ ἐκπορευομένου αὐτοῦ εἰς ὁδὸν προσδραμὼν εἷς καὶ γονυπετήσας αὐτὸν ἐπηρώτα αὐτόν, διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσω ἵνα ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;

18 And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one `is' good except One -- God;

18 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῶ, τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός.

19 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.'

19 τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας· μὴ φονεύσῃς, μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, μὴ κλέψῃς, μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, μὴ ἀποστερήσῃς, τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα.

20 And he answering said to him, `Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.'

20 ὁ δὲ ἔφη αὐτῶ, διδάσκαλε, ταῦτα πάντα ἐφυλαξάμην ἐκ νεότητός μου.

21 And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, `One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast -- sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'

21 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς ἐμβλέψας αὐτῶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ἕν σε ὑστερεῖ· ὕπαγε ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ δὸς [τοῖς] πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανῶ, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.

22 And he -- gloomy at the word -- went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.

22 ὁ δὲ στυγνάσας ἐπὶ τῶ λόγῳ ἀπῆλθεν λυπούμενος, ἦν γὰρ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά.

23 And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, `How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!'

23 καὶ περιβλεψάμενος ὁ ἰησοῦς λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελεύσονται.

24 And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, `Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!

24 οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐθαμβοῦντο ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς πάλιν ἀποκριθεὶς λέγει αὐτοῖς, τέκνα, πῶς δύσκολόν ἐστιν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν·

25 It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'

25 εὐκοπώτερόν ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ [τῆς] τρυμαλιᾶς [τῆς] ῥαφίδος διελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.

26 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, `And who is able to be saved?'

26 οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες πρὸς ἑαυτούς, καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;

27 And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, `With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'

27 ἐμβλέψας αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς λέγει, παρὰ ἀνθρώποις ἀδύνατον ἀλλ᾽ οὐ παρὰ θεῶ, πάντα γὰρ δυνατὰ παρὰ τῶ θεῶ.

28 And Peter began to say to him, `Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'

28 ἤρξατο λέγειν ὁ πέτρος αὐτῶ, ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήκαμέν σοι.

29 And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',

29 ἔφη ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ ἀδελφὰς ἢ μητέρα ἢ πατέρα ἢ τέκνα ἢ ἀγροὺς ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ καὶ ἕνεκεν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,

30 who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;

30 ἐὰν μὴ λάβῃ ἑκατονταπλασίονα νῦν ἐν τῶ καιρῶ τούτῳ οἰκίας καὶ ἀδελφοὺς καὶ ἀδελφὰς καὶ μητέρας καὶ τέκνα καὶ ἀγροὺς μετὰ διωγμῶν, καὶ ἐν τῶ αἰῶνι τῶ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

31 and many first shall be last, and the last first.'

31 πολλοὶ δὲ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι καὶ [οἱ] ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι.

32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him,

32 ἦσαν δὲ ἐν τῇ ὁδῶ ἀναβαίνοντες εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ ἦν προάγων αὐτοὺς ὁ ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐθαμβοῦντο, οἱ δὲ ἀκολουθοῦντες ἐφοβοῦντο. καὶ παραλαβὼν πάλιν τοὺς δώδεκα ἤρξατο αὐτοῖς λέγειν τὰ μέλλοντα αὐτῶ συμβαίνειν,

33 -- `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations,

33 ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς ἱεροσόλυμα, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδοθήσεται τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς γραμματεῦσιν, καὶ κατακρινοῦσιν αὐτὸν θανάτῳ καὶ παραδώσουσιν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

34 and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.'

34 καὶ ἐμπαίξουσιν αὐτῶ καὶ ἐμπτύσουσιν αὐτῶ καὶ μαστιγώσουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν, καὶ μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἀναστήσεται.

35 And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, `Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;'

35 καὶ προσπορεύονται αὐτῶ ἰάκωβος καὶ ἰωάννης οἱ υἱοὶ ζεβεδαίου λέγοντες αὐτῶ, διδάσκαλε, θέλομεν ἵνα ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσωμέν σε ποιήσῃς ἡμῖν.

36 and he said to them, `What do ye wish me to do for you?'

36 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, τί θέλετέ [με ] ποιήσω ὑμῖν;

37 and they said to him, `Grant to us that, one on thy right hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;'

37 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῶ, δὸς ἡμῖν ἵνα εἷς σου ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ εἷς ἐξ ἀριστερῶν καθίσωμεν ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου.

38 and Jesus said to them, `Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with -- to be baptized?'

38 ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, οὐκ οἴδατε τί αἰτεῖσθε. δύνασθε πιεῖν τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω, ἢ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθῆναι;

39 And they said to him, `We are able;' and Jesus said to them, `Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized;

39 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῶ, δυνάμεθα. ὁ δὲ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, τὸ ποτήριον ὃ ἐγὼ πίνω πίεσθε καὶ τὸ βάπτισμα ὃ ἐγὼ βαπτίζομαι βαπτισθήσεσθε,

40 but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared.'

40 τὸ δὲ καθίσαι ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἢ ἐξ εὐωνύμων οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὸν δοῦναι, ἀλλ᾽ οἷς ἡτοίμασται.

41 And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,

41 καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ δέκα ἤρξαντο ἀγανακτεῖν περὶ ἰακώβου καὶ ἰωάννου.

42 but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, `Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

42 καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς ὁ ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς, οἴδατε ὅτι οἱ δοκοῦντες ἄρχειν τῶν ἐθνῶν κατακυριεύουσιν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι αὐτῶν κατεξουσιάζουσιν αὐτῶν.

43 but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister,

43 οὐχ οὕτως δέ ἐστιν ἐν ὑμῖν· ἀλλ᾽ ὃς ἂν θέλῃ μέγας γενέσθαι ἐν ὑμῖν, ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος,

44 and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all;

44 καὶ ὃς ἂν θέλῃ ἐν ὑμῖν εἶναι πρῶτος, ἔσται πάντων δοῦλος·

45 for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

45 καὶ γὰρ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἦλθεν διακονηθῆναι ἀλλὰ διακονῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ λύτρον ἀντὶ πολλῶν.

46 And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus -- Bartimaeus the blind -- was sitting beside the way begging,

46 καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς ἰεριχώ. καὶ ἐκπορευομένου αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ ἰεριχὼ καὶ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὄχλου ἱκανοῦ ὁ υἱὸς τιμαίου βαρτιμαῖος τυφλὸς προσαίτης ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν.

47 and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, `The Son of David -- Jesus! deal kindly with me;'

47 καὶ ἀκούσας ὅτι ἰησοῦς ὁ ναζαρηνός ἐστιν ἤρξατο κράζειν καὶ λέγειν, υἱὲ δαυὶδ ἰησοῦ, ἐλέησόν με.

48 and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

48 καὶ ἐπετίμων αὐτῶ πολλοὶ ἵνα σιωπήσῃ· ὁ δὲ πολλῶ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν, υἱὲ δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.

49 And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, `Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;'

49 καὶ στὰς ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, φωνήσατε αὐτόν. καὶ φωνοῦσιν τὸν τυφλὸν λέγοντες αὐτῶ, θάρσει, ἔγειρε, φωνεῖ σε.

50 and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus.

50 ὁ δὲ ἀποβαλὼν τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ ἀναπηδήσας ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν ἰησοῦν.

51 And answering, Jesus saith to him, `What wilt thou I may do to thee?' and the blind man said to him, `Rabboni, that I may see again;'

51 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ τυφλὸς εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ραββουνι, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.

52 and Jesus said to him, `Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

52 καὶ ὁ ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ὕπαγε, ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε. καὶ εὐθὺς ἀνέβλεψεν, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῶ ἐν τῇ ὁδῶ.
