Mark 10 - 11
Mar 10:1 And rising up from there He came into the borders of Yehuḏah by the other side of the Yardĕn. And crowds gathered to Him again, and as He usually did, He was teaching them again.
Mar 10:2 And Pharisees came and asked Him, “Is it right for a man to put away his wife?” – trying Him.
Mar 10:3 And He answering, said to them, “What did Moshe command you?”
Mar 10:4 And they said, “Moshe allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away.”
Mar 10:5 And יהושע said to them, “Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this tsav.
Mar 10:6 “However, from the beginning of the creation, Elohim ‘made them male and female.’
Mar 10:7 ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife,
Mar 10:8 and the two shall become one flesh,’ so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Mar 10:9 “Therefore what Elohim has joined together, let man not separate.”
Mar 10:10 And in the house His talmidim asked Him about this again.
Mar 10:11 And He said to them, “Whoever puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
Mar 10:12 “And if a woman puts away her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”1 Footnote: 1Mt. 5:32.
Mar 10:13 And they were bringing little children for Him to touch them, but the talmidim were rebuking those who were bringing them.
Mar 10:14 And when יהושע saw it, He was much displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the reign of Elohim.
Mar 10:15 “Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the reign of Elohim as a little child, shall certainly not enter into it.”
Mar 10:16 And taking them up in His arms, laying His hands on them, He blessed them.
Mar 10:17 And as He was setting out on the way, one came running, and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life?”
Mar 10:18 And יהושע said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim.
Mar 10:19 “You know the mitzvot, ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not rob,’ ‘Respect your father and your mother.’ ”
Mar 10:20 And he answering, said to Him, “Teacher, all these I have watched over from my youth.”
Mar 10:21 And יהושע, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One matter you lack: Go, sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me, taking up the stake.”
Mar 10:22 But he, being sad at this word, went away grieved, for he had many possessions.
Mar 10:23 And יהושע, looking around, said to His talmidim, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the reign of Elohim!”
Mar 10:24 And the talmidim were astonished at His words. And יהושע responding, said to them again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into the reign of Elohim!
Mar 10:25 “It is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the reign of Elohim.”
Mar 10:26 And they were immeasurably astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then is able to be saved?”
Mar 10:27 And looking at them, יהושע said, “With men it is impossible, but not with Elohim, for with Elohim all is possible.”
Mar 10:28 And Kĕpha began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and we have followed You.”
Mar 10:29 יהושע said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for the sake of Me and the Good News,
Mar 10:30 who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come, everlasting life.
Mar 10:31 “But many who are first shall be last, and the last first.”
Mar 10:32 And they were on the way, going up to Yerushalayim, and יהושע was going before them. And they were astonished, and those who followed were afraid. And again He took the twelve aside and began to say to them what was about to befall Him:
Mar 10:33 “See, we are going up to Yerushalayim, and the Son of Aḏam shall be delivered to the chief kohanim and to the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death and shall deliver Him to the goyim,
Mar 10:34 and they shall mock Him, and flog Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He shall rise again.”
Mar 10:35 And Ya`akov̱ and Yochanan, the sons of Zaḇdai, came up to Him, saying, “Rabbi, we wish that You would do for us whatever we ask.”
Mar 10:36 And He said to them, “What do you wish Me to do for you?”
Mar 10:37 And they said to Him, “Grant us to be seated in Your esteem, one on Your right hand and the other on Your left.”
Mar 10:38 But יהושע said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?”
Mar 10:39 And they said to Him, “We are able.” And יהושע said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the immersion I am immersed with you shall be immersed,1 Footnote: 1Mt. 20:23.
Mar 10:40 but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
Mar 10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be sorely displeased with Ya`akov̱ and Yochanan.
Mar 10:42 And יהושע, calling them near, said to them, “You know that those who think to rule the goyim are masters over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Mar 10:43 “But it is not so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your slave.
Mar 10:44 “And whoever wishes to be first among you, shall be slave of all.
Mar 10:45 “For even the Son of Aḏam did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Mar 10:46 And they came to Yericḥo. And as He was leaving Yericḥo with His talmidim and a large crowd, blind Bartimai, the son of Timai, was sitting by the way begging.
Mar 10:47 And when he heard that it was יהושע of Natsareth, he began to cry out and to say, “יהושע, Son of Dawiḏ, have compassion on me!”
Mar 10:48 And many were reprimanding him to be silent, but he cried out all the more, “Son of Dawiḏ, have compassion on me!”
Mar 10:49 And יהושע stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage, arise, He is calling you.”
Mar 10:50 And he, throwing aside his garment, rose and came to יהושע.
Mar 10:51 And יהושע responding, said to him, “What do you desire I do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I receive my sight.”
Mar 10:52 And יהושע said to him, “Go, your belief has healed you.” And immediately he saw again and followed יהושע on the way.
Mar 11:1 And when they came near Yerushalayim, to Bĕyth Phaḡi and Bĕyth Anyah, at Har Zayith, He sent out two of His talmidim,
Mar 11:2 and said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately entering into it, you shall find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loosen it and bring it.
Mar 11:3 “And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Master needs it and shall send it back straightaway.’ ”
Mar 11:4 So they went away, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosened it.
Mar 11:5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, loosening the colt?”
Mar 11:6 And they said to them, as יהושע had said. So they let them go.
Mar 11:7 And they brought the colt to יהושע and threw their garments on it, and He sat on it.
Mar 11:8 And many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and were spreading them on the way.
Mar 11:9 And those going before and those following cried out, saying, “Hoshia-na! ‘Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!’
Mar 11:10 Blessed is the coming reign of our father Dawiḏ – in the Name of יהוה! Hoshia-na in the highest!”
Mar 11:11 And יהושע went into Yerushalayim and into the Mikdash. And having looked around on all, He went out to Bĕyth Anyah with the twelve, as the hour was already late.
Mar 11:12 And on the next day, when they had come out from Bĕyth Anyah, He was hungry.
Mar 11:13 And seeing at a distance a fig tree having leaves, He went to see whether He would find any fruit on it. And when He came to it, He found none but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
Mar 11:14 And יהושע, responding, said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” And His taught ones heard it.
Mar 11:15 And they came to Yerushalayim. יהושע, entering into the Mikdash, began to drive out those who bought and sold in the Mikdash, and overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling doves.
Mar 11:16 And He did not allow anyone to carry a vessel through the Mikdash.
Mar 11:17 And He was teaching, saying to them, “Has it not been written, ‘My House shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of robbers.’ ”
Mar 11:18 And the scribes and the head kohanim heard it and they were seeking how to destroy Him, for they feared Him, because all the crowd was astonished at His teaching.
Mar 11:19 And when evening came, He went out of the city.
Mar 11:20 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
Mar 11:21 Then Kĕpha, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered.”
Mar 11:22 And יהושע answering, said to them, “Have belief in Elohim.
Mar 11:23 “For truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says, shall be done, he shall have whatever he says.
Mar 11:24 “Because of this I say to you, whatever you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.
Mar 11:25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you hold whatever against anyone, forgive, so that your Father in the heavens shall also forgive you your trespasses.
Mar 11:26 “But if you do not forgive, neither shall your Father in the heavens forgive your trespasses.”
Mar 11:27 And they came again to Yerushalayim. And as He was walking in the Mikdash, the head kohanim, and the scribes, and the elders came to Him,
Mar 11:28 and they said to Him, “By what authority are You doing these? And who gave You this authority to do these?”
Mar 11:29 And יהושע answering, said to them, “I shall ask you one question, and answer Me, and I shall say to you by what authority I do these:
Mar 11:30 “The immersion of Yochanan – was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me.”
Mar 11:31 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He shall say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’
Mar 11:32 “But if we say, ‘From men’ ” – they feared the people, for all held that Yochanan was a Navi indeed.
Mar 11:33 And answering they said to יהושע, “We do not know.” And יהושע answering, said to them, “Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these.”
