1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa 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 Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, 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.
Par laulības šķiršanu
(Mt 19:1–12)1 No turienes Jēzus nāca Jūdejas apvidū, Jardānas otrā pusē, un ļaužu pūlis atkal sapulcējās pie viņa, un viņš, kā allaž, tos mācīja. 2 Pienāca kādi farizeji un, viņu izaicinādami, jautāja: “Vai ir atļauts vīram atlaist sievu?” 3 Viņš jautāja: “Ko Mozus jums ir pavēlējis?” 4 Tie sacīja: “Mozus ir atļāvis rakstīt šķiršanās rakstu un atlaist .” 5 Tad Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Jūsu cietsirdības dēļ viņš jums šo likumu ir rakstījis. 6 Bet no radīšanas iesākuma Dievs viņus veidojis kā vīrieti un sievieti. 7 Tādēļ cilvēks atstās savu tēvu un māti. 8 Un tie divi būs viena miesa. Tā ka tie vairs nav divi, bet viena miesa. 9 Tādēļ, ko Dievs savienojis, to cilvēkam nebūs šķirt.” 10 To pašu viņam mājās jautāja arī mācekļi. 11 Un viņš tiem sacīja: “Ja kāds savu sievu atlaiž un citu apprec, tas pārkāpj laulību pret to. 12 Un, ja sieva no sava vīra šķiras un apprec citu, tā pārkāpj laulību.”
Jēzus svētī bērniņus
(Mt 19:13–15Lk 18:15–17)13 Un tie nesa bērniņus pie Jēzus, lai viņš tiem pieskartos. Bet mācekļi tos norāja. 14 Jēzus, to redzēdams, sadusmojās un tiem sacīja: “Laidiet bērniņus pie manis, neliedziet tiem, jo tādiem pieder Dieva valstība. 15 Patiesi es jums saku: kas Dieva valstību nesaņems kā bērniņš, tas nekad neieies tajā.” 16 Un viņš tos apkampa, uzlika tiem rokas un tos svētīja.
Par bagāto vīru
(Mt 19:16–30Lk 18:18–30)17 Kad viņš izgāja uz ceļa, viens pieskrēja un, ceļos nometies viņa priekšā, lūdza: “Labais Skolotāj, kas man jādara, lai es iemantotu mūžīgo dzīvību?” 18 Jēzus tam sacīja: “Kādēļ tu mani sauc par labu? Neviens nav labs kā vienīgi Dievs. 19 Baušļus tu zini: nenogalini; nepārkāp laulību; nezodz; nedod nepatiesu liecību; nekrāp; godā savu tēvu un māti. ” 20 Bet tas viņam sacīja: “Skolotāj, to visu es esmu pildījis kopš savas jaunības.” 21 Jēzus, viņu uzlūkojis, iemīlēja to un sacīja: “Vienas lietas tev trūkst. Ej un pārdod visu, kas tev ir, un izdali nabagiem, tad tev būs manta debesīs; nāc un seko man.” 22 Un viņš, sadrūmis par šo vārdu, aizgāja nomākts, jo viņam piederēja lieli īpašumi. 23 Uzlūkojis visapkārt savus mācekļus, Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Cik grūti bagātie ieies Dieva valstībā!” 24 Un mācekļi bija satraukti par viņa vārdiem. Tad Jēzus vēlreiz tiem sacīja: “Bērni, cik grūti ir ieiet Dieva valstībā! 25 Vieglāk kamielim iziet caur adatas aci, nekā bagātam ieiet Dieva valstībā!” 26 Tie sabijās vēl vairāk un runāja savā starpā: “Kas tad var tikt glābts?” 27 Jēzus, tos uzlūkojis, sacīja: “Cilvēkiem tas nav iespējams, bet ne Dievam, jo Dievam visas lietas iespējamas.” 28 Tad Pēteris ierunājās: “Redzi, mēs visu esam atstājuši un esam tev sekojuši.” 29 Jēzus sacīja: “Patiesi es jums saku: nav neviena, kas, atstājis māju vai brāļus, vai māsas, vai māti, vai tēvu, vai bērnus, vai tīrumus manis un evaņģēlija dēļ, 30 nesaņemtu simtkārtīgi jau šajā laikā mājas un brāļus, un māsas, un mātes, un bērnus, un tīrumus, kaut ar vajāšanām, un nākamajā laikā – mūžīgo dzīvību. 31 Daudzi pirmie būs pēdējie un pēdējie – pirmie.”
Jēzus trešo reizi māca par savu nāvi un augšāmcelšanos
(Mt 20:17–19Lk 18:31–33)32 Viņi bija ceļā, iedami augšup uz Jeruzālemi. Jēzus gāja viņiem pa priekšu, un tie bija apjukuši un baiļodamies viņam sekoja. Viņš atkal ņēma pie sevis tos divpadsmit un sāka viņiem stāstīt, kas ar viņu notiks: 33 “Redzi, mēs ejam uz Jeruzālemi, un Cilvēka Dēlu nodos virspriesteriem un rakstu mācītājiem, un tie viņu notiesās uz nāvi un nodos viņu pagāniem. 34 Un tie viņu apsmies un apspļaudīs, tad šaustīs un nonāvēs viņu, un pēc trim dienām viņš augšāmcelsies.”
Jēkaba un Jāņa lūgums
(Mt 20:20–28)35 Jēkabs un Jānis, Zebedeja dēli, piegāja pie viņa un sacīja: “Skolotāj, mēs gribam, lai tu darītu, ko mēs tev lūgsim!” 36 Viņš tiem jautāja: “Ko jūs gribat, lai es jums daru?” 37 Un tie sacīja: “Dod mums, ka mēs varētu sēdēt tavā godībā, viens pie tavas labās rokas un otrs – pie kreisās.” 38 Bet Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Jūs nesaprotat, ko jūs lūdzat. Vai jūs varat dzert to biķeri, ko es dzeru, vai tikt kristīti tajā kristībā, kurā es tieku kristīts?” 39 Un tie viņam sacīja: “Mēs varam.” Bet Jēzus tiem teica: “To biķeri, ko es dzeru, jūs dzersiet, un jūs kristīs tajā kristībā, kurā es tieku kristīts, 40 bet sēdēt pie manas labās vai kreisās rokas – to dot nav manā ziņā; tur sēdēs tie, kam tas sagatavots.” 41 Un, kad tie desmit to dzirdēja, tie saskaitās uz Jēkabu un Jāni. 42 Un, viņus pieaicinājis, Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Jūs zināt, ka tie, ko par tautu valdniekiem tur, tās apspiež, un viņu varenie ir varmācīgi pret tām. 43 Bet tā lai nav starp jums. Kas no jums grib būt liels, tas lai ir jūsu kalps. 44 Un, kas jūsu vidū grib būt pirmais, tas lai ir visu vergs. 45 Jo arī Cilvēka Dēls nav nācis, lai viņam kalpotu, bet lai pats kalpotu un atdotu savu dzīvību kā izpirkšanas maksu par daudziem.”
Aklā Bartimeja dziedināšana
(Mt 20:29–34Lk 18:35–43)46 Un tie nonāca Jērikā. Kad viņš ar saviem mācekļiem un lielu ļaužu pūli gāja prom no Jērikas, ceļa malā sēdēja kāds akls ubags, Timeja dēls Bartimejs. 47 Izdzirdis, ka tas ir Jēzus no Nācaretes, viņš sāka kliegt un sauca: “Jēzu, Dāvida dēls, apžēlojies par mani!” 48 Un daudzi to apsauca, lai viņš apklustu. Bet viņš kliedza jo skaļāk: “Dāvida dēls, apžēlojies par mani!” 49 Jēzus apstājies sacīja: “Sauciet viņu šurp!” Un tie aicināja aklo, tam sacīdami: “Esi drošs, celies, viņš tevi sauc.” 50 Un, savus svārkus nometis, viņš pielēca kājās un nāca pie Jēzus. 51 Un Jēzus viņam jautāja: “Ko tu gribi, lai es tev daru?” Aklais sacīja: “Rabuni, kaut es varētu redzēt!” 52 Jēzus viņam sacīja: “Ej, tava ticība tevi ir dziedinājusi!” Un tūlīt viņš kļuva redzīgs un sekoja Jēzum ceļā.
