1 A arising from there He goes into the borders of Judaea and on the other side of the Jordan, and the crowds again come together to Him, and as He is accustomed, again He taught them.2 And the Pharisees having come forth questioned Him whether it is lawful for a man to put away a wife, trying Him.3 Then replying He said to them: "What did Moses command you?"4 And they said: "Moses permitted to write a letter for a bill of divorce and to put her away."5 Then Yahshua said to them: "For your hardness of heart he had written this commandment for you.6 But from the beginning of creation 'He made them male and female.7 On account of this a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife,8 and they shall be two into one flesh.' Therefore no longer are they two but one flesh.9 So that which Yahweh has yoked together man must not separate!"10 And in the house again the students questioned Him concerning this.11 And He says to them: "Whoever would put away his wife and marry another commits adultery against her,12 and if she divorcing her husband marries another, she commits adultery!"13 And they had brought to Him children in order that He may engage with them, but the students admonished them.14 And seeing it Yahshua was annoyed and said to them: "Let the children come to Me. Do not prevent them, for of such as these is the Kingdom of Yahweh!15 Truly I say to you, whoever would not receive the Kingdom of Yahweh as a child, by no means could enter into it!"16 And taking them in His arms He blesses them putting the hands upon them.17 And upon His going out on a journey one having run up and falling at His knees asked Him: "Good Teacher, what shall I do in order that I may inherit eternal life?"18 Then Yahshua said to him: "Why call Me 'good'? No one is good except One: Yahweh!19 Know the commandments: You should not murder, you should not commit adultery, you should not steal, you should not testify falsely, you should not rob, honor your father and your mother."20 Then he said to Him: "Teacher, all of these things I have kept from my youth!"21 And Yahshua looking at him cherished him and said to him: "One thing you are wanting: Go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven, and come follow Me!"22 But being depressed by this word he left grieving, for he was holding much property.23 And looking around Yahshua says to His students: "How difficultly those having money enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh!"24 But the students were amazed by His words.25 So again Yahshua replying says to them: "Children, how difficult it is to enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh! 25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh!"26 But they were more abundantly astonished, saying to Him "Then who is able to be saved?"27 Looking at them Yahshua says: "With man it is impossible, but not with Yahweh, for all things are possible with Yahweh!"28 Petros began to say to Him: "Look, we have left all things and have followed You!"29 Yahshua said: "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brother or sister or mother or father or children or farm because of Me and because of the good message,30 if he should not receive a hundred-fold now at this time houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms - along with persecutions - and in the age which is coming eternal life!31 But many first shall be last and the last first."32 Then they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Yahshua was going before them, and they were amazed, but those following Him feared. And again taking aside the twelve He began to tell them the things being about to happen to Him,33 that "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be handed over to the high priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death and they shall hand Him over to the heathens34 and they shall mock Him and spit upon Him and whip and slay Him, and after three days He shall arise!"35 And Iakobos and Iohannes, the sons of Zebedaios, go forth to Him saying to Him: "Teacher, we desire that whatever we may ask You, You would do for us."36 So He said to them: "What do you desire of Me that I shall do for you?"37 Then they said to Him: "Give to us that we may sit one at Your right hand and one at Your left hand in Your honor!"38 So Yahshua said to them: "You do not know what you ask! Are you able to drink the cup which I shall drink or to be immersed in the immersion which I am immersed?"39 Then they said to Him "We are able!" So Yahshua said to them: "The cup which I drink you shall drink and the immersion which I am immersed in you shall be immersed,40 but to sit at My right or left land is not Mine to give, but for those whom it has been prepared."41 And hearing it the ten began to be annoyed with Iakobos and Iohannes.42 And summoning them Yahshua says to them: "You know that those supposing to rule over the nations lord over them and their nobles exercise authority over them.43 But it is not so with you. Rather, he whom should desire to become great among you shall be your servant,44 and he whom should desire to be first among you shall be your slave!45 For even the Son of Man has come not to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for the sake of many."46 And they came into Iericho. And upon His departing from Iericho, and of His students and of a considerable crowd, Bartimaios (the son of Timaios), a blind beggar, sat by the road.47 And hearing that it is Yahshua the Nazarene, he began to cry out and to say "Yahshua, Son of David, have mercy on me!"48 And many admonished him, that he should be silent, but still more he cried out "Son of David, have mercy on me!"49 And stopping Yahshua said "Call him!" And they call the blind man saying to him: "Have courage, arise, He calls you!"50 Then casting off his garment, leaping up he came to Yahshua.51 And responding to him Yahshua said "What do you wish that I shall do for you?" So the blind man said to Him: "Rabboni, that I may see again!"52 And Yahshua said to him: "Go, your faith has saved you!" And immediately he saw again and he followed Him on the road.
