Mark 10:7-25

7‘For this reasonG1752G3778 a manG444 will leaveG2641 hisG846 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384 andG2532 be unitedG4347 toG4314 hisG846 wifeG1135,1 8andG2532 theG3588 twoG1417 will becomeG1510G1519 oneG1520 fleshG4561.’2 SoG5620 they areG1510 no longerG3765 twoG1417, butG235 oneG1520 fleshG4561. 9ThereforeG3767 whatG3739 GodG2316 has joined togetherG4801, let manG444 notG3361 separateG5563.”

10WhenG2532 they were backG3825 insideG1519 theG3588 houseG3614, theG3588 disciplesG3101 askedG1905 Jesus aboutG4012 this matterG3778. 11So He toldG3004 themG846, “WhoeverG3739G302 divorcesG630 hisG846 wifeG1135 andG2532 marriesG1060 anotherG243 woman commits adulteryG3429 againstG1909 herG846. 12AndG2532 ifG1437 a womanG846 divorcesG630 herG846 husbandG435 and marriesG1060 anotherG243 man, she commits adulteryG3429.”

13NowG2532 people were bringingG4374 the little childrenG3813 toG846 Jesus forG2443 Him to place His handsG680 on themG846, andG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 rebukedG2008 those who brought them.

14ButG1161 when JesusG2424 saw thisG3708, He was indignantG23 andG2532 toldG2036 themG846, “LetG863 theG3588 little childrenG3813 comeG2064 toG4314 MeG1473, and do notG3361 hinderG2967 themG846! ForG1063 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 belongsG1510 toG3588 suchG5108 as these. 15TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, anyone whoG3739G302 does not receiveG3361G1209 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 likeG5613 a little childG3813 will never enterG3756G3361G1525G1519 itG846.” 16AndG2532 He took the children in His armsG1723, placedG5087 His handsG5495 onG1909 themG846, and blessedG2127 themG846.

17AsG2532 Jesus startedG1607 onG1519 HisG846 wayG3598, a man ran upG4370 andG2532 knelt beforeG1120 HimG846. “GoodG18 TeacherG1320,” he askedG1905, “whatG5101 must I doG4160 toG2443 inheritG2816 eternalG166 lifeG2222?”

18“WhyG5101 do you callG3004 MeG1473 goodG18?” JesusG2424 repliedG2036. “No oneG3762 is goodG18 exceptG1487G3361 GodG2316 aloneG1520. 19You knowG1492 theG3588 commandmentsG1785: ‘Do notG3361 murderG5407, do notG3361 commit adulteryG3431, do notG3361 stealG2813, do notG3361 bear false witnessG5576, do notG3361 cheatG650 others, honorG5091 yourG4771 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384.’3”

20“TeacherG1320,” he repliedG5346, “allG3956 theseG3778 I have keptG5442 fromG1537 myG1473 youthG3503.”

21

JesusG2424 looked atG1689 himG846, lovedG25 himG846, andG2532 saidG2036 to himG846, “There is one thingG1520 youG4771 lackG5302: GoG5217, sellG4453 everythingG3745 you ownG2192 andG2532 giveG1325 to theG3588 poorG4434, andG2532 you will haveG2192 treasureG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772. ThenG2532 comeG1204, followG190 MeG1473.4”

22ButG1161 the man was saddenedG4768 byG1909 these wordsG3056 and went awayG565 in sorrowG3076, becauseG1063 he hadG1510G2192 greatG4183 wealthG2933.

23ThenG2532 JesusG2424 looked aroundG4017 and said toG3004 HisG846 disciplesG3101, “HowG4459 hard it isG1423 for theG3588 richG2192G3588G5536 to enterG1525G1519 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316!”

24AndG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 were amazedG2284 atG1909 HisG846 wordsG3056.

ButG1161 JesusG2424 saidG611G3004 to themG846 againG3825, “ChildrenG5043, howG4459 hardG1422 it isG1510 to enterG15255 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316! 25It isG1510 easierG2123 for a camelG2574 to passG1330 throughG1223 theG3588 eyeG5168 of aG3588 needleG4476 thanG2228 for a rich manG4145 to enterG1525G1519 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316.”
