Chapter 10 of Mark—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. 1Getting up, He *went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds *gathered around Him again, and, 2according to His custom, He once more began to teach them.
  2. Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to [a]divorce a wife.
  3. And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
  4. They said, “3Moses permitted a man TO WRITE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND [b]SEND her AWAY.”
  5. But Jesus said to them, “[c]4Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
  6. But 5from the beginning of creation, God 6MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.
  7. 7FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER[d],
  8. 8AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.
  9. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
  10. ¶ In the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again.
  11. And He *said to them, “9Whoever [e]divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
  12. and 10if she herself [f]divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”
  13. 11And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
  14. But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; 12for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
  15. Truly I say to you, 13whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”
  16. And He 14took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.
  17. 15As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and 16knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to 17inherit eternal life?”
  18. And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.
  19. You know the commandments, ‘18DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.’”
  20. And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept 19all these things from my youth up.”
  21. Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have 20treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
  22. But at these words [g]he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.
  23. ¶ And Jesus, looking around, *said to His disciples, “21How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!”
  24. The disciples 22were amazed at His words. But Jesus *answered again and *said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
  25. 23It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
  26. They were even more astonished and said to Him, “[h]Then who can be saved?”
  27. Looking at them, Jesus *said, “24With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
  28. 25Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You.”
  29. Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, 26there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,
  30. [i]but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in [j]the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in 27the age to come, eternal life.
  31. But 28many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”
  32. 29They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they 30were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,
  33. saying, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and 31the Son of Man will be [k]delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will [l]hand Him over to the Gentiles.
  34. They will mock Him and 32spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”
  35. [m]33James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, *came up to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.”
  36. And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
  37. They said to Him, “[n]Grant that we 34may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.”
  38. But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able 35to drink the cup that I drink, or 36to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
  39. They said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink 37you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.
  40. But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; 38but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
  41. 39Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with [o]James and John.
  42. Calling them to Himself, Jesus *said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.
  43. But it is not this way among you, 40but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;
  44. and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.
  45. For even the Son of Man 41did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His [p]life a ransom for many.”
  46. 42Then they *came to Jericho. And 43as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.
  47. When he heard that it was Jesus the 44Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, 45Son of David, have mercy on me!”
  48. Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “46Son of David, have mercy on me!”
  49. And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they *called the blind man, saying to him, “47Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you.”
  50. Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.
  51. And answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “[q]48Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!”
  52. And Jesus said to him, “Go; 49your faith has [r]made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
