Chapter 10 of Mark—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ From there he rose and came to the frontiers of Ju·deʹa and across the Jordan, and again crowds came together to him, and as he was accustomed to do he again went teaching them.1
  2. Pharisees now approached and, to put him to the test, began questioning him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife.2
  3. In answer he said to them: “What did Moses command YOU?”
  4. They said: “Moses allowed the writing of a certificate of dismissal and divorcing [her].”3
  5. But Jesus said to them: “Out of regard for YOUR hardheartedness4 he wrote YOU this commandment.
  6. However, from [the] beginning of creation ‘He[a] made them male and female.5
  7. On this account a man will leave his father and mother,
  8. and the two will be one flesh’;6 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
  9. Therefore what God yoked together let no man put apart.”7
  10. When again in the house8 the disciples began to question him concerning this.
  11. And he said to them: “Whoever divorces[b] his wife and marries another commits adultery9 against her,
  12. and if ever a woman, after divorcing her husband, marries another, she commits adultery.”10
  13. ¶ Now people began bringing him young children for him to touch these; but the disciples reprimanded them.11
  14. At seeing this Jesus was indignant and said to them: “Let the young children come to me; do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to suchlike ones.12
  15. Truly I say to YOU, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a young child will by no means enter into it.”13
  16. And he took the children into his arms and began blessing them, laying his hands upon them.14
  17. ¶ And as he was going out on his way, a certain man ran up and fell upon his knees before him and put the question to him: “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?”[c]15
  18. Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good?16 Nobody is good, except one, God.17
  19. You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder,18 Do not commit adultery,19 Do not steal,20 Do not bear false witness,21 Do not defraud,22 Honor your father and mother.’”23
  20. The man said to him: “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth on.”
  21. Jesus looked upon him and felt love for him and said to him: “One thing is missing about you: Go, sell what things you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come be my follower.”24
  22. But he grew sad at the saying and went off grieved, for he was holding many possessions.25
  23. ¶ After looking around Jesus said to his disciples: “How difficult a thing it will be for those with money26 to enter into the kingdom of God!”27
  24. But the disciples gave way to surprise28 at his words. In response Jesus again said to them: “Children, how difficult a thing it is to enter into the kingdom of God!
  25. It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”29
  26. They became still more astounded and said to him: “Who, in fact, can be saved?”30
  27. Looking straight at them Jesus said: “With men it is impossible, but not so with God, for all things are possible with God.”31
  28. Peter started to say to him: “Look! We left all things and have been following you.”32
  29. Jesus said: “Truly I say to YOU men, No one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news33
  30. who will not get a hundredfold34 now in this period of time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions,35 and in the coming system of things[d] everlasting life.
  31. However, many that are first will be last, and the last first.”36
  32. ¶ Now they were advancing on the road up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going in front of them, and they felt amazement; but those who followed began to fear. Once again he took the twelve aside and started to tell them these things destined to befall him:37
  33. “Here we are, advancing up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and will deliver him to [men of] the nations,38
  34. and they will make fun of him and will spit upon him and scourge him and kill him, but three days later he will rise.”39
  35. ¶ And James and John, the two sons of Zebʹe·dee,40 stepped up to him and said to him: “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever it is we ask you for.”41
  36. He said to them: “What do YOU want me to do for YOU?”
  37. They said to him: “Grant us to sit down, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.”42
  38. But Jesus said to them: “YOU do not know what YOU are asking for. Are YOU able to drink the cup which I am drinking, or to be baptized with the baptism[e] with which I am being baptized?”43
  39. They said to him: “We are able.” At that Jesus said to them: “The cup I am drinking YOU will drink, and with the baptism with which I am being baptized YOU will be baptized.44
  40. However, this sitting down at my right or at my left is not mine to give,45 but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared.”
  41. ¶ Well, when the ten others heard about it, they started to be indignant at James and John.46
  42. But Jesus, after calling them to him, said to them: “YOU know that those who appear to be ruling the nations lord it over them and their great ones wield authority over them.47
  43. This is not the way among YOU; but whoever wants to become great among YOU must be YOUR minister,48
  44. and whoever wants to be first among YOU must be the slave of all.49
  45. For even the Son of man came, not to be ministered to,50 but to minister and to give his soul[f] a ransom51 in exchange for many.”52
  46. ¶ And they came into Jerʹi·cho. But as he and his disciples and a considerable crowd were going out of Jerʹi·cho, Bar·ti·maeʹus (the son of Ti·maeʹus), a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.53
  47. When he heard that it was Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ, he started shouting and saying: “Son of David,54 Jesus, have mercy on me!”55
  48. At this many began sternly telling him to be silent; but he kept shouting that much more: “Son of David, have mercy on me!”56
  49. So Jesus stopped and said: “CALL him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him: “Take courage, get up, he is calling you.”57
  50. Throwing off his outer garment, he leaped to his feet and went to Jesus.
  51. And in answer to him Jesus said: “What do you want me to do for you?”58 The blind man said to him: “Rab·boʹni,[g] let me recover sight.”59
  52. And Jesus said to him: “Go, your faith has made you well.”[h]60 And immediately he recovered sight,61 and he began to follow him on the road.62

    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

    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!
