¹ And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

² And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

³ And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

⁴ And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

⁵ And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

⁷ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

⁸ And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

⁹ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

¹⁰ And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

¹¹ And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

¹² And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

¹³ And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

¹⁶ And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

¹⁷ And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

¹⁸ And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none 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, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

²⁰ And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

²¹ Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

²² And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

²³ And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to 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 astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

²⁷ And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

²⁸ Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

²⁹ And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

³⁰ But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

³¹ But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

³² And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,

³³ Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

³⁴ And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

³⁵ And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

³⁶ And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

³⁷ They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

³⁸ But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

³⁹ And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

⁴⁰ But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

⁴¹ And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

⁴² But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

⁴³ But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

⁴⁴ And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

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

⁴⁶ And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

⁴⁷ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸ And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁹ And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

⁵⁰ And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹ And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

⁵² And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

¹ And ^G2547 he arose ^G450 from thence, ^G2547 and cometh ^G2064 into ^G1519 the coasts ^G3725 of Judaea ^G2449 by ^G1223 the farther side ^G4008 of Jordan: ^G2446 and ^G2532 the people ^G3793 resort ^G4848 unto ^G4314 him ^G846 again; ^G3825 and, ^G2532 as ^G5613 he was wont, ^G1486 he taught ^G1321 them ^G846 again. ^G3825

² And ^G2532 the Pharisees ^G5330 came to him, ^G4334 and asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 Is it ^G1487 lawful ^G1832 for a man ^G435 to put away ^G630 his wife? ^G1135 tempting ^G3985 him. ^G846

³ And ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 What ^G5101 did Moses ^G3475 command ^G1781 you? ^G5213

⁴ And ^G1161 they said, ^G2036 Moses ^G3475 suffered ^G2010 to write ^G1125 a bill ^G975 of divorcement, ^G647 and ^G2532 to put her away. ^G630

⁵ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 For ^G4314 the hardness ^G4641 of your ^G5216 heart ^G4641 he wrote ^G1125 you ^G5213 this ^G5026 precept. ^G1785

⁶ But ^G1161 from ^G575 the beginning ^G746 of the creation ^G2937 God ^G2316 made ^G4160 them ^G846 male ^G730 and ^G2532 female. ^G2338

⁷ For this cause ^{G1752 G5127} shall ^G2641 a man ^G444 leave ^G2641 his ^G846 father ^G3962 and ^G2532 mother, ^G3384 and ^G2532 cleave ^G4347 to ^G4314 his ^G846 wife; ^G1135

⁸ And ^G2532 they twain ^G1417 shall be ^G2071 one ^{G1519 G3391} flesh: ^G4561 so then ^G5620 they are ^G1526 no more ^G3765 twain, ^G1417 but ^G235 one ^G3391 flesh. ^G4561

⁹ What ^G3739 therefore ^G3767 God ^G2316 hath joined together, ^G4801 let ^G5563 not ^G3361 man ^G444 put asunder. ^G5563

¹⁰ And ^G2532 in ^G1722 the house ^G3614 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 asked ^G1905 him ^G846 again ^G3825 of ^G4012 the same ^G846 matter.

¹¹ And ^G2532 he saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Whosoever ^{G3739 G1437} shall put away ^G630 his ^G846 wife, ^G1135 and ^G2532 marry ^G1060 another, ^G243 committeth adultery ^G3429 against ^G1909 her. ^G846

¹² And ^G2532 if ^G1437 a woman ^G1135 shall put away ^G630 her ^G846 husband, ^G435 and ^G2532 be married ^G1060 to another, ^G243 she committeth adultery. ^G3429

¹³ And ^G2532 they brought ^G4374 young children ^G3813 to him, ^G846 that ^G2443 he should touch ^G680 them: ^G846 and ^G1161 his disciples ^G3101 rebuked ^G2008 those that brought ^G4374 them.

¹⁴ But ^G1161 when Jesus ^G2424 saw ^G1492 it, he was much displeased, ^G23 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Suffer ^G863 the little children ^G3813 to come ^G2064 unto ^G4314 me, ^G3165 and ^G2532 forbid ^G2967 them ^G846 not: ^G3361 for ^G1063 of such ^G5108 is ^G2076 the kingdom ^G932 of God. ^G2316

¹⁵ Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 Whosoever ^G3739 shall ^G1209 not ^G3362 receive ^G1209 the kingdom ^G932 of God ^G2316 as ^G5613 a little child, ^G3813 he shall ^G1525 not ^G3364 enter ^G1525 therein. ^{G1519 G846}

¹⁶ And ^G2532 he took ^G1723 them ^G846 up in his arms, ^G1723 put ^G5087 his hands ^G5495 upon ^G1909 them, ^G846 and blessed ^G2127 them. ^G846

¹⁷ And ^G2532 when he was gone forth ^G1607 into ^G1519 the way, ^{G846 G3598} there came ^G4370 one ^G1520 running, ^G4370 and ^G2532 kneeled ^G1120 to him, ^G846 and asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 Good ^G18 Master, ^G1320 what ^G5101 shall I do ^G4160 that ^G2443 I may inherit ^G2816 eternal ^G166 life? ^G2222

¹⁸ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Why ^G5101 callest thou ^G3004 me ^G3165 good? ^G18 there is none ^G3762 good ^G18 but ^G1508 one, ^G1520 that is, God. ^G2316

¹⁹ Thou knowest ^G1492 the commandments, ^G1785 Do ^G3431 not ^G3361 commit adultery, ^G3431 Do ^G5407 not ^G3361 kill, ^G5407 Do ^G2813 not ^G3361 steal, ^G2813 Do ^G5576 not ^G3361 bear false witness, ^G5576 Defraud ^G650 not, ^G3361 Honour ^G5091 thy ^G4675 father ^G3962 and ^G2532 mother. ^G3384

²⁰ And ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Master, ^G1320 all ^G3956 these ^G5023 have I observed ^G5442 from ^G1537 my ^G3450 youth. ^G3503

²¹ Then ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 beholding ^G1689 him ^G846 loved ^G25 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 One thing ^G1520 thou ^G4671 lackest: ^G5302 go thy way, ^G5217 sell ^G4453 whatsoever ^G3745 thou hast, ^G2192 and ^G2532 give ^G1325 to the poor, ^G4434 and ^G2532 thou shalt have ^G2192 treasure ^G2344 in ^G1722 heaven: ^G3772 and ^G2532 come, ^G1204 take up ^G142 the cross, ^G4716 and follow ^G190 me. ^G3427

²² And ^G1161 he was sad ^G4768 at ^G1909 that saying, ^G3056 and went away ^G565 grieved: ^G3076 for ^G1063 he had ^{G2192 G2258} great ^G4183 possessions. ^G2933

²³ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 looked round about, ^G4017 and saith ^G3004 unto his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 How ^G4459 hardly ^G1423 shall they that have ^G2192 riches ^G5536 enter ^G1525 into ^G1519 the kingdom ^G932 of God! ^G2316

²⁴ And ^G1161 the disciples ^G3101 were astonished ^G2284 at ^G1909 his ^G846 words. ^G3056 But ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 answereth ^G611 again, ^G3825 and saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Children, ^G5043 how ^G4459 hard ^G1422 is it ^G2076 for them that trust ^G3982 in ^G1909 riches ^G5536 to enter ^G1525 into ^G1519 the kingdom ^G932 of God! ^G2316

²⁵ It is ^G2076 easier ^G2123 for a camel ^G2574 to go ^{G1525 G1330} through ^G1223 the eye ^G5168 of a needle, ^G4476 than ^G2228 for a rich man ^G4145 to enter ^G1525 into ^G1519 the kingdom ^G932 of God. ^G2316

²⁶ And ^G1161 they were astonished ^G1605 out of measure, ^G4057 saying ^G3004 among ^G4314 themselves, ^{G1438 G2532} Who ^G5101 then can ^G1410 be saved? ^G4982

²⁷ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 looking upon ^G1689 them ^G846 saith, ^G3004 With ^G3844 men ^G444 it is impossible, ^G102 but ^G235 not ^G3756 with ^G3844 God: ^G2316 for ^G1063 with ^G3844 God ^G2316 all things ^G3956 are ^G2076 possible. ^G1415

²⁸ Then ^G2532 Peter ^G4074 began ^G756 to say ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Lo, ^G2400 we ^G2249 have left ^G863 all, ^G3956 and ^G2532 have followed ^G190 thee. ^G4671

²⁹ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said, ^G2036 Verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 There is ^G2076 no man ^G3762 that ^G3739 hath left ^G863 house, ^G3614 or ^G2228 brethren, ^G80 or ^G2228 sisters, ^G79 or ^G2228 father, ^G3962 or ^G2228 mother, ^G3384 or ^G2228 wife, ^G1135 or ^G2228 children, ^G5043 or ^G2228 lands, ^G68 for my ^G1700 sake, ^G1752 and ^G2532 the gospel's, ^G2098

³⁰ But ^G3362 he shall receive ^G2983 an hundredfold ^G1542 now ^G3568 in ^G1722 this ^G5129 time, ^G2540 houses, ^G3614 and ^G2532 brethren, ^G80 and ^G2532 sisters, ^G79 and ^G2532 mothers, ^G3384 and ^G2532 children, ^G5043 and ^G2532 lands, ^G68 with ^G3326 persecutions; ^G1375 and ^G2532 in ^G1722 the world ^G165 to come ^G2064 eternal ^G166 life. ^G2222

³¹ But ^G1161 many ^G4183 that are first ^G4413 shall be ^G2071 last; ^G2078 and ^G2532 the last ^G2078 first. ^G4413

³² And ^G1161 they were ^G2258 in ^G1722 the way ^G3598 going up ^G305 to ^G1519 Jerusalem; ^G2414 and ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 went ^G2258 before ^G4254 them: ^G846 and ^G2532 they were amazed; ^G2284 and ^G2532 as they followed, ^G190 they were afraid. ^G5399 And ^G2532 he took ^G3880 again ^G3825 the twelve, ^G1427 and began ^G756 to tell ^G3004 them ^G846 what things should ^G3195 happen ^G4819 unto him, ^G846

³³ Saying, ^G3754 Behold, ^G2400 we go up ^G305 to ^G1519 Jerusalem; ^G2414 and ^G2532 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 shall be delivered ^G3860 unto the chief priests, ^G749 and ^G2532 unto the scribes; ^G1122 and ^G2532 they shall condemn ^G2632 him ^G846 to death, ^G2288 and ^G2532 shall deliver ^G3860 him ^G846 to the Gentiles: ^G1484

³⁴ And ^G2532 they shall mock ^G1702 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 shall scourge ^G3146 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 shall spit upon ^G1716 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 shall kill ^G615 him: ^G846 and ^G2532 the third ^G5154 day ^G2250 he shall rise again. ^G450

³⁵ And ^G2532 James ^G2385 and ^G2532 John, ^G2491 the sons ^G5207 of Zebedee, ^G2199 come ^G4365 unto him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Master, ^G1320 we would ^G2309 that ^G2443 thou shouldest do ^G4160 for us ^G2254 whatsoever ^{G3739 G1437} we shall desire. ^G154

³⁶ And ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 What ^G5101 would ^G2309 ye that I ^G3165 should do ^G4160 for you? ^G5213

^{37 G1161} They said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Grant ^G1325 unto us ^G2254 that ^G2443 we may sit, ^G2523 one ^G1520 on ^G1537 thy ^G4675 right hand, ^G1188 and ^G2532 the other ^G1520 on ^G1537 thy ^G4675 left hand, ^G2176 in ^G1722 thy ^G4675 glory. ^G1391

³⁸ But ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Ye know ^G1492 not ^G3756 what ^G5101 ye ask: ^G154 can ye ^G1410 drink ^G4095 of the cup ^G4221 that ^G3739 I ^G1473 drink of? ^G4095 and ^G2532 be baptized ^G907 with the baptism ^G908 that ^G3739 I ^G1473 am baptized with? ^G907

³⁹ And ^G1161 they said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 We can. ^G1410 And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Ye shall ^G4095 indeed ^G3303 drink ^G4095 of the cup ^G4221 that ^G3739 I ^G1473 drink of; ^G4095 and ^G2532 with the baptism ^G908 that ^G3739 I ^G1473 am baptized withal ^G907 shall ye be baptized: ^G907

⁴⁰ But ^G1161 to sit ^G2523 on ^G1537 my ^G3450 right hand ^G1188 and ^G2532 on ^G1537 my ^G3450 left hand ^G2176 is ^G2076 not ^G3756 mine ^G1699 to give; ^G1325 but ^G235 it shall be given to them for whom ^G3739 it is prepared. ^G2090

⁴¹ And ^G2532 when the ten ^G1176 heard ^G191 it, they began ^G756 to be much displeased ^G23 with ^G4012 James ^G2385 and ^G2532 John. ^G2491

⁴² But ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 called ^G4341 them ^G846 to him, and saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Ye know ^G1492 that ^G3754 they which are accounted ^G1380 to rule ^G757 over the Gentiles ^G1484 exercise lordship ^G2634 over them; ^G846 and ^G2532 their ^G846 great ones ^G3173 exercise authority ^G2715 upon them. ^G846

⁴³ But ^G1161 so ^G3779 shall it ^G2071 not ^G3756 be ^G2071 among ^G1722 you: ^G5213 but ^G235 whosoever ^{G3739 G1437} will ^G2309 be ^G1096 great ^G3173 among ^G1722 you, ^G5213 shall be ^G2071 your ^G5216 minister: ^G1249

⁴⁴ And ^G2532 whosoever ^{G3739 G302} of you ^G5216 will ^G2309 be ^G1096 the chiefest, ^G4413 shall be ^G2071 servant ^G1401 of all. ^G3956

⁴⁵ For ^G1063 even ^G2532 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 came ^G2064 not ^G3756 to be ministered unto, ^G1247 but ^G235 to minister, ^G1247 and ^G2532 to give ^G1325 his ^G846 life ^G5590 a ransom ^G3083 for ^G473 many. ^G4183

⁴⁶ And ^G2532 they came ^G2064 to ^G1519 Jericho: ^G2410 and ^G2532 as he ^G846 went ^G1607 out of ^G575 Jericho ^G2410 with ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 and ^G2532 a great ^G2425 number of people, ^G3793 blind ^G5185 Bartimaeus, ^G924 the son ^G5207 of Timaeus, ^G5090 sat ^G2521 by ^G3844 the highway side ^G3598 begging. ^G4319

⁴⁷ And ^G2532 when he heard ^G191 that ^G3754 it was ^G2076 Jesus ^G2424 of Nazareth, ^G3480 he began ^G756 to cry out, ^G2896 and ^G2532 say, ^G3004 Jesus, ^G2424 thou Son ^G5207 of David, ^G1138 have mercy ^G1653 on me. ^G3165

⁴⁸ And ^G2532 many ^G4183 charged ^G2008 him ^G846 that ^G2443 he should hold his peace: ^G4623 but ^G1161 he cried ^G2896 the more ^G3123 a great deal, ^G4183 Thou Son ^G5207 of David, ^G1138 have mercy ^G1653 on me. ^G3165

⁴⁹ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 stood still, ^G2476 and commanded ^G2036 him ^G846 to be called. ^G5455 And ^G2532 they call ^G5455 the blind man, ^G5185 saying ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Be of good comfort, ^G2293 rise; ^G1453 he calleth ^G5455 thee. ^G4571

⁵⁰ And ^G1161 he, casting away ^G577 his ^G846 garment, ^G2440 rose, ^G450 and came ^G2064 to ^G4314 Jesus. ^G2424

⁵¹ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 What ^G5101 wilt ^G2309 thou that I should do ^G4160 unto thee? ^{G4671 G1161} The blind man ^G5185 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Lord, ^G4462 that ^G2443 I might receive my sight. ^G308

⁵² And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Go thy way; ^G5217 thy ^G4675 faith ^G4102 hath made ^G4982 thee ^G4571 whole. ^G4982 And ^G2532 immediately ^G2112 he received his sight, ^G308 and ^G2532 followed ^G190 Jesus ^G2424 in ^G1722 the way. ^G3598

---

¹ And he arose from thence and cometh into the borders of Judaea and beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

² And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away `his' wife? trying him.

³ And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

⁴ And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

⁵ But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them.

⁷ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;

⁸ and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.

⁹ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

¹⁰ And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter.

¹¹ And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her:

¹² and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.

¹³ And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.

¹⁶ And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.

¹⁷ And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

¹⁸ And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, `even' God.

¹⁹ Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother.

²⁰ And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth.

²¹ And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²² But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.

²³ And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴ And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

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

²⁶ And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved?

²⁷ Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

²⁸ Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

²⁹ Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel's sake,

³⁰ but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

³¹ But many `that are' first shall be last; and the last first.

³² And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him,

³³ `saying', Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles:

³⁴ and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.

³⁵ And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.

³⁶ And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

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

³⁸ But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

³⁹ And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

⁴⁰ but to sit on my right hand or on `my' left hand is not mine to give; but `it is for them' for whom it hath been prepared.

⁴¹ And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.

⁴² And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.

⁴³ But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister;

⁴⁴ and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all.

⁴⁵ For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

⁴⁶ And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side.

⁴⁷ And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸ And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁹ And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee.

⁵⁰ And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹ And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.

⁵² And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way.

---

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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;

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

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

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?'

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

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.'

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

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.'

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

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

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!

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.'

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

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

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

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',

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;

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

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,

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,

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

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;'

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

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;'

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?'

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;

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.'

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

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;

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

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

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.'

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,

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;'

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.'

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;'

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

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;'

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

---

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 He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

² Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

³ He answered, "What did Moses command you?"

⁴ They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."

⁵ But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, 'God made them male and female.

⁷ For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

⁸ and the two will become one flesh,' so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

⁹ What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

¹⁰ In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

¹¹ He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

¹² If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery."

¹³ They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me! Don't forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

¹⁵ Most assuredly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."

¹⁶ He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

¹⁷ As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"

¹⁸ Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one-- God.

¹⁹ You know the commandments: 'Do not murder,' 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Do not defraud,' 'Honor your father and mother.'"

²⁰ He said to him, "Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth."

²¹ Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."

²² But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

²³ Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!"

²⁴ The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through a{or, the} needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."

²⁶ They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"

²⁷ Jesus, looking at them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

²⁸ Peter began to tell him, "Behold, we have left all, and have followed you."

²⁹ Jesus said, "Most assuredly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the Gospel's sake,

³⁰ but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.

³¹ But many who are first will be last; and the last first."

³² They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

³³ "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

³⁴ They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again."

³⁵ James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."

³⁶ He said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

³⁷ They said to him, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory."

³⁸ But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

³⁹ They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared."

⁴¹ When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.

⁴² Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

⁴³ But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

⁴⁴ Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all.

⁴⁵ For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

⁴⁶ They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

⁴⁷ When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"

⁴⁸ Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"

⁴⁹ Jesus stood still, and said, "Call him." They called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!"

⁵⁰ He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹ Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Rhabboni,{Rhabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for "great teacher."} that I may see again."

⁵² Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has made you well." Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

---

¹ And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching.

² And Pharisees came to him, testing him with the question, Is it right for a man to put away his wife?

³ And he said to them in answer, What did Moses say you were to do?

⁴ And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.

⁵ But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.

⁶ But from the first, male and female made he them.

⁷ For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;

⁸ And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

⁹ Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

¹⁰ And in the house the disciples put questions to him again about this thing.

¹¹ And he said to them, Whoever puts away his wife and takes another, is false to his wife;

¹² And if she herself puts away her husband and takes another, she is false to her husband.

¹³ And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

¹⁴ And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

¹⁶ And he took them in his arms, and gave them a blessing, putting his hands on them.

¹⁷ And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

¹⁸ And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.

¹⁹ You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.

²⁰ And he said to him, Master, all these laws I have kept from the time when I was young.

²¹ And Jesus, looking on him and loving him, said, There is one thing needed: go, get money for your goods, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come with me.

²² But his face became sad at the saying, and he went away sorrowing: for he was one who had much property.

²³ And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

²⁴ And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

²⁵ It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.

²⁶ And they were greatly surprised, saying to him, Who then may have salvation?

²⁷ Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

²⁸ Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything, and come after you.

²⁹ Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,

³⁰ Who will not get a hundred times as much now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land--though with great troubles; and, in the world to come, eternal life.

³¹ But a great number who are first will be last: and those who are last will be first.

³² And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,

³³ Saying, See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given up to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will give an order for his death, and will give him up to the Gentiles:

³⁴ And they will make sport of him, and put shame on him, and give him cruel blows, and will put him to death; and after three days he will come back from the dead.

³⁵ And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?

³⁶ And he said to them, What would you have me do for you?

³⁷ And they said to him, Let us be seated, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.

³⁸ But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

³⁹ And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:

⁴⁰ But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.

⁴¹ And hearing this, the ten became very angry with James and John.

⁴² And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

⁴³ But it is not so among you: but whoever has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant:

⁴⁴ And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him be servant of all.

⁴⁵ For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

⁴⁶ And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.

⁴⁷ And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸ And some of them, turning in protest, gave him an order to be quiet: but he went on crying out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁹ And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for you.

⁵⁰ And he, putting off his coat, got up quickly, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹ And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the blind man said, Master, make me able to see.

⁵² And Jesus said to him, Go on your way; your faith has made you well. And straight away he was able to see, and went after him in the way.
