Mark 10:8-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
8AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate.'
10And in the house the disciples again began questioning Him about this.
11And He *said to them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
12and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.'
13And they were bringing children to Him so that He would touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
14But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, 'Allow the children to come to Me; do not forbid them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.'
16And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.
17As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, 'Good Teacher, what shall I do so that I may inherit eternal life?'
18But Jesus said to him, 'Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.
19You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT GIVE FALSE TESTIMONY, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.’?'
20And he said to Him, 'Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth.'
21Looking at him, Jesus showed love to him and said to him, 'One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.'
22But he was deeply dismayed by these words, and he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.
23And Jesus, looking around, *said to His disciples, 'How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!'
24And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus responded again and *said to them, 'Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.'
26And they were even more astonished, and said to Him, 'Then who can be saved?'
27Looking at them, Jesus *said, 'With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'
28Peter began to say to Him, 'Behold, we have left everything and have followed You.'
29Jesus said, 'Truly I say to you, there 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,
30but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.
King James Version
Chapter 10
8And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14But 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.
15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
17And 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?
18And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good there is none good but one, that is, God.
19Thou 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.
20And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21Then 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.
22And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24And 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!
25It 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.
26And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29And 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,
30But 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.

Chapter 10
8and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
10When they were in the house again, the disciples questioned him about this matter.
11He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12Also, if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
13People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
14When Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
16After taking them in his arms, he laid his hands on them and blessed them.
18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him. "No one is good except God alone.
19You know the commandments: Do not murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not defraud; honor your father and mother."
21Looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, "You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
22But he was dismayed by this demand, and he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.
24The disciples were astonished at his words. Again Jesus said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."
29"Truly I tell you," Jesus said, "there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,
30who will not receive a hundred times more, now at this time —houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions —and eternal life in the age to come.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
8and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, 9let no one split apart what God has joined together.'
10Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house, they brought up the subject again.
11He told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her.
12And if a woman divorces her husband and marries someone else, she commits adultery.'
14When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, 'Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
15I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.'
16Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.
18Why do you call me good?' Jesus asked. 'Only God is truly good.
19But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.’ '
23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, 'How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!'
24This amazed them. But Jesus said again, 'Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.
25In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!'
29Yes,' Jesus replied, 'and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News,
30will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property — along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.

15Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."
16And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
17And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

22Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
23And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!"

30who will 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 eternal life.

13People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them.

25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
29"Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel
30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.
New King James Version
Chapter 10
8and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
10In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter.
11So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
13Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
16And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.
18So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
19You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”
23Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”
24And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!
25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
29So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, 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 My sake and the gospel’s,
30who 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, eternal life.
