馬可福音 10

休妻的問題

（太19．1－12；路16．18）

1 耶穌從那裏起身，來到猶太的境內，約旦河的東邊。眾人又聚集到他那裏，他又照常教導他們。 2 有法利賽人來問他說：「男人休妻合不合法？」意思是要試探他。 3 耶穌回答他們說：「摩西吩咐你們的是甚麼？」 4 他們說：「摩西准許寫了休書就可以休妻。」 5 耶穌對他們說：「摩西因為你們的心硬，所以寫這誡命給你們。 6 但從起初創造的時候，上帝造人是造男造女。 7 因此，人要離開他的父母，與妻子結合t， 8 二人成為一體。既然如此，夫妻不再是兩個人，而是一體的了。 9 所以，上帝配合的，人不可分開。」 10 他們到了屋裏，門徒又問他這事。 11 耶穌對他們說：「凡休妻另娶的，就是犯姦淫，辜負他的妻子； 12 妻子若離棄丈夫另嫁，也是犯姦淫了。」

耶穌為小孩祝福

（太19．13－15；路18．15－17）

13 有人帶著小孩子來見耶穌，要他摸他們，門徒就責備那些人。 14 耶穌看見就很生氣，對門徒說：「讓小孩到我這裏來，不要阻止他們，因為在上帝國的正是這樣的人。 15 我實在告訴你們，凡要接受上帝國的，若不像小孩子，絕不能進去。」 16 於是他抱著小孩子，給他們按手，為他們祝福。

財主尋求永生

（太19．16－30；路18．18－30）

17 耶穌剛上路的時候，有一個人跑來，跪在他面前，問他：「善良的老師，我該做甚麼事才能承受永生？」 18 耶穌對他說：「你為甚麼稱我是善良的？除了上帝一位之外，再沒有善良的。 19 誡命你是知道的：『不可殺人；不可姦淫；不可偷盜；不可作假見證；不可虧負人；當孝敬父母。』」 20 他對耶穌說：「老師，這一切我從小都遵守了。」 21 耶穌看著他，就愛他，對他說：「你還缺少一件：去變賣你所有的，分給窮人，就必有財寶在天上；然後來跟從我。」 22 他聽見這話，臉就變了色，憂憂愁愁地走了，因為他的產業很多。

23 耶穌看了看周圍，對門徒說：「有錢財的人進上帝的國是何等的難哪！」 24 門徒對他的話非常驚奇。耶穌又對他們說：「孩子們，t要進上帝的國是何等的難哪！ 25 駱駝穿過針眼比財主進上帝的國還容易呢！」 26 門徒就更為驚訝，彼此對問：「這樣，誰能得救呢？」 27 耶穌看著他們，說：「在人不能，在上帝卻不然，因為在上帝凡事都能。」 28 彼得就對他說：「看哪，我們已經撇下一切跟從你了。」 29 耶穌說：「我實在告訴你們，凡為我和福音撇下房屋，或是兄弟、姊妹、父親、母親、兒女、田地， 30 沒有不在今世得百倍的，就是房屋、兄弟、姊妹、母親、兒女、田地，並且要受迫害，在來世得永生。 31 然而，有許多在前的，將要在後；在後的，將要在前。」

耶穌第三次預言受難和復活

（太20．17－19；路18．31－34）

32 他們行路上耶路撒冷去。耶穌在前頭走，他們很驚訝，跟從的人也害怕。耶穌又叫十二使徒來，把自己將要遭遇的事告訴他們， 33 說：「看哪，我們上耶路撒冷去，人子將被交給祭司長和文士；他們要定他死罪，又交給外邦人。 34 他們要戲弄他，向他吐唾沫，鞭打他，殺害他；三天後，他要復活。」

為首與為僕

（太20．20－28）

35  西庇太的兒子雅各和約翰進前來，對耶穌說：「老師，我們無論求你甚麼，願你為我們做。」 36 耶穌對他們說：「要我為你們做甚麼？」 37 他們對他說：「在你的榮耀裏，請賜我們一個坐在你右邊，一個坐在你左邊。」 38 耶穌對他們說：「你們不知道所求的是甚麼。我所喝的杯，你們能喝嗎？我所受的洗，你們能受嗎？」 39 他們對他說：「我們能。」耶穌對他們說：「我所喝的杯，你們要喝；我所受的洗，你們也要受。 40 可是坐在我的左右，不是我可以賜的，而是為誰預備就賜給誰。」 41 其餘十個門徒聽見，就對雅各和約翰很生氣。 42 耶穌叫了他們來，對他們說：「你們知道，外邦人有君王作主治理他們，有大臣操權管轄他們。 43 但是在你們中間，不可這樣。你們中間誰願為大，就要作你們的用人； 44 在你們中間誰願為首，就要作眾人的僕人。 45 因為人子來，並不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，並且要捨命作多人的贖價。」

治好盲人巴底買

（太20．29－34；路18．35－43）

46 他們到了耶利哥。耶穌同門徒並許多人離開耶利哥的時候，有一個討飯的盲人，是底買的兒子巴底買，坐在路旁。 47 他聽見是拿撒勒的耶穌，就喊了起來，說：「大衛之子耶穌啊，可憐我吧！」 48 有許多人責備他，不許他作聲，他卻越發喊著：「大衛之子啊，可憐我吧！」 49 耶穌就站住，說：「叫他過來。」他們就叫那盲人，對他說：「放心，起來！他在叫你啦。」 50 盲人就丟下衣服，跳起來，走到耶穌那裏。 51 耶穌回答他說：「你要我為你做甚麼？」盲人對他說：「拉波尼t，我要能看見。」 52 耶穌對他說：「你去吧！你的信救了你。」盲人立刻看得見，就在路上跟隨耶穌。

MARK 10

Teaching about Divorce

(Matthew 19.1-12; Luke 16.18)

1 After Jesus left, he went to Judea and then on to the other side of the Jordan River. Once again large crowds came to him, and as usual, he taught them.
2 Some Pharisees wanted to test Jesus. So they came up to him and asked if it was right for a man to divorce his wife.

3 Jesus asked them, “What does the Law of Moses say about this?”

4  t They answered, “Moses allows a man to write out divorce papers and send his wife away.”
5 Jesus replied, “Moses gave you this law because you are so heartless. 6 t But in the beginning God made a man and a woman. 7 t That's why a man leaves his father and mother and gets married. 8 He becomes like one person with his wife. Then they are no longer two people, but one.

9 And no one should separate a couple that God has joined together.”
10 When Jesus and his disciples were back in the house, they asked him about what he had said. 11 t He told them, “A man who divorces his wife and marries someone else is unfaithful to his wife.

12 A woman who divorces her husbandt and marries again is also unfaithful.”

Jesus Blesses Little Children

(Matthew 19.13-15; Luke 18.15-17)

13 Some people brought their children to Jesus so he could bless them by placing his hands on them. But his disciples told the people to stop bothering him.
14 When Jesus saw this, he became angry and said, “Let the children come to me! Don't try to stop them. People who are like these little children belong to the kingdom of God.t 15 t I promise you that you cannot get into God's kingdom, unless you accept it the way a child does.”

16 Then Jesus took the children in his arms and blessed them by placing his hands on them.

A Rich Man

(Matthew 19.16-30; Luke 18.18-30)

17 As Jesus was walking down a road, a man ran up to him. He knelt down, and asked, “Good teacher, what can I do to have eternal life?”
18 Jesus replied, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good.

19 t You know the commandments. ‘Do not murder. Be faithful in marriage. Do not steal. Do not tell lies about others. Do not cheat. Respect your father and mother.’ ”

20 The man answered, “Teacher, I have obeyed all these commandments since I was a young man.”

21 Jesus looked closely at the man. He liked him and said, “There's one thing you still need to do. Go sell everything you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come with me.”

22 When the man heard Jesus say this, he went away gloomy and sad because he was very rich.
23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “It's hard for rich people to get into God's kingdom!” 24 The disciples were shocked to hear this. So Jesus told them again, “It's terribly hardt to get into God's kingdom!

25 In fact, it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into God's kingdom.”

26 Jesus' disciples were even more amazed. They asked each other, “How can anyone ever be saved?”

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “There are some things that people cannot do, but God can do anything.”

28 Peter replied, “Remember, we left everything to be your followers!”

29 Jesus told him:
You can be sure that anyone who gives up home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or land for me and for the good news 30 will be rewarded. In this world they will be given 100 times as many houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and pieces of land, though they will also be mistreated. And in the world to come, they will have eternal life.

31 t But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.

Jesus Again //Tells about His Death

(Matthew 20.17-19; Luke 18.31-34)

32 The disciples were confused as Jesus led them toward Jerusalem, and his other followers were afraid. Once again, Jesus took the twelve disciples aside and told them what was going to happen to him. He said:
33 We are now on our way to Jerusalem where the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses. They will sentence him to death and hand him over to foreigners, t

34 who will make fun of him and spit on him. They will beat him and kill him. But three days later he will rise to life.

The Request of James //and John

(Matthew 20.20-28)

35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, will you do us a favor?”
36 Jesus asked them what they wanted,

37 and they answered, “When you come into your glory, please let one of us sit at your right side and the other at your left.”t

38  t Jesus told them, “You don't really know what you're asking! Are you able to drink from the cupt that I must soon drink from or be baptized as I must be baptized?”t

39 “Yes, we are!” James and John answered.
Then Jesus replied, “You certainly will drink from the cup from which I must drink. And you will be baptized just as I must!

40 But it isn't for me to say who will sit at my right side and at my left. This is for God to decide.”
41 When the ten other disciples heard this, they were angry with James and John.

42 t But Jesus called the disciples together and said:
You know that those foreigners who call themselves kings like to order their people around. And their great leaders have full power over the people they rule. 43 t But don't act like them. If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others. 44 And if you want to be first, you must be everyone's slave.

45 t The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescuet many people.

Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

(Matthew 20.29-34; Luke 18.35-43)

46 Jesus and his disciples went to Jericho. And as they were leaving, they were followed by a large crowd. A blind beggar by the name of Bartimaeus son of Timaeus was sitting beside the road. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus from Nazareth, he shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, t have pity on me!”

48 Many people told the man to stop, but he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have pity on me!”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him over!”
They called out to the blind man and said, “Don't be afraid! Come on! He is calling for you.”

50 The man threw off his coat as he jumped up and ran to Jesus.

51 Jesus asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
The blind man answered, “Master, t I want to see!”

52 Jesus told him, “You may go. Your eyes are healed because of your faith.”
At once the man could see, and he went down the road with Jesus.
