Mark
1And rising up, he went from there into the area of Judea beyond the Jordan. And again, the crowd came together before him. And just as he was accustomed to do, again he taught them2And approaching, the Pharisees questioned him, testing him: "Is it lawful for a man to dismiss his wife?3But in response, he said to them, "What did Moses instruct you?4And they said, "Moses gave permission to write a bill of divorce and to dismiss her.5But Jesus responded by saying: "It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you6But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female7Because of this, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife8And these two shall be one in flesh. And so, they are now, not two, but one flesh9Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.10And again, in the house, his disciples questioned him about the same thing11And he said to them: "Whoever dismisses his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her12And if a wife dismisses her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery.13And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them14But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: "Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God15Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.16And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them17And when he had departed on the way, a certain one, running up and kneeling before him, asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do, so that I may secure eternal life?18But Jesus said to him, "Why call me good? No one is good except the one God19You know the precepts: "Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not speak false testimony. Do not deceive. Honor your father and mother.20But in response, he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.21Then Jesus, gazing at him, loved him, and he said to him: "One thing is lacking to you. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.22But he went away grieving, having been greatly saddened by the word. For he had many possessions23And Jesus, looking around, said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus, answering again, said to them: "Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God25It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God.26And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, "Who, then, can be saved?27And Jesus, gazing at them, said: "With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible.28And Peter began to say to him, "Behold, we have left all things and have followed you.29In response, Jesus said: "Amen I say to you, There is no one who has left behind house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake and for the Gospel30who will not receive one hundred times as much, now in this time: houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land, with persecutions, and in the future age eternal life31But many of the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.32Now they were on the way ascending to Jerusalem. And Jesus went ahead of them, and they were astonished. And those following him were afraid. And again, taking aside the twelve, he began to tell them what was about to happen to him33"For behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be handed over to the leaders of the priests, and to the scribes, and the elders. And they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles34And they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death. And on the third day, he will rise again.35And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, drew near to him, saying, "Teacher, we wish that whatever we will ask, you would do for us.36But he said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?37And they said, "Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory.38But Jesus said to them: "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice from which I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?39But they said to him, "We can." Then Jesus said to them: "Indeed, you shall drink from the chalice, from which I drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism, with which I am to be baptized40But to sit at my right, or at my left, is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.41And the ten, upon hearing this, began to be indignant toward James and John42But Jesus, calling them, said to them: "You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them43But it is not to be this way among you. Instead, whoever would become greater shall be your minister44and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all45So, too, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many.46And they went to Jericho. And as he was setting out from Jericho with his disciples and a very numerous multitude, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind man, sat begging beside the way47And when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and to say, "Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me.48And many admonished him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me.49And Jesus, standing still, instructed him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him: "Be at peace. Arise. He is calling you.50And casting aside his garment, he leapt up and went to him51And in response, Jesus said to him, "What do you want, that I should do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, that I may see.52Then Jesus said to him, "Go, your faith has made you whole." And immediately he saw, and he followed him on the way
1And as they were approaching Jerusalem and Bethania, toward the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples2and he said to them: "Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately upon entering there, you will find a colt tied, on which no man has yet sat. Release him and bring him3And if anyone will say to you: ‘What are you doing?’ Say that the Lord has need of him. And he will immediately send him here.4And going out, they found the colt tied before the outer gate, at the meeting of two ways. And they untied him5And some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing by releasing the colt?6And they spoke to them just as Jesus had instructed them. And they permitted them7And they led the colt to Jesus. And they placed their garments on it; and he sat upon it8Then many spread their garments along the way; but others cut down leafy branches from trees and scattered them on the way9And those who went ahead, and those who followed, cried out saying: "Hosanna! Blessed is he who has arrived in the name of the Lord10Blessed is the advent of the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!11And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple. And having looked around at everything, since it was now the evening hour, he went out to Bethania with the twelve12And the next day, as they were departing from Bethania, he was hungry13And when he had seen a fig tree with leaves in the distance, he went to it, in case he might find something on it. And when he had gone to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the season for figs14And in response, he said to it, "From now on and forever, may no one eat fruit from you again!" And his disciples heard this15And they went to Jerusalem. And when he had entered into the temple, he began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. And he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of the vendors of doves16And he would not permit anyone to carry goods through the temple17And he taught them, saying: "Is it not written: ‘For my house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations?’ But you have made it into a den of robbers.18And when the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, had heard this, they sought a means by which they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the entire multitude was in admiration over his doctrine19And when evening had arrived, he departed from the city20And when they passed by in the morning, they saw that the fig tree had dried up from the roots21And Peter, remembering, said to him, "Master, behold, the fig tree that you cursed has withered.22And in response, Jesus said to them: "Have the faith of God23Amen I say to you, that whoever will say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and who will not have hesitated in his heart, but will have believed: then whatever he has said be done, it shall be done for him24For this reason, I say to you, all things whatsoever that you ask for when praying: believe that you will receive them, and they will happen for you25And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your sins26But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father, who is in heaven, forgive you your sins.27And they went again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the elders approached him28And they said to him: "By what authority do you do these things? And who has given you this authority, so that you would do these things?29But in response, Jesus said to them: "I also will ask you one word, and if you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things30The baptism of John: was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.31But they discussed it among themselves, saying: "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?32If we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the people. For they all hold that John was a true prophet.33And answering, they said to Jesus, "We do not know." And in response, Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
