- Kapitel 10 -

(Matthew 19:1–12)
1
And rising up, he went from there into the area of Judea beyond the Jordan. And again, the crowd came together before him. And just as he was accustomed to do, again he taught them.
2
And approaching, the Pharisees questioned him, testing him: “Is it lawful for a man to dismiss his wife?”
3
But in response, he said to them, “What did Moses instruct you?”
4
And they said, “Moses gave permission to write a bill of divorce and to dismiss her.”
5
But Jesus responded by saying: “It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you.
6
But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
7
Because of this, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife.
8
And these two shall be one in flesh. And so, they are now, not two, but one flesh.
9
Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.”
10
And again, in the house, his disciples questioned him about the same thing.
11
And he said to them: “Whoever dismisses his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.
12
And if a wife dismisses her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery.”

Jesus Blesses the Children

(Matthew 19:13–15; Luke 18:15–17)
13
And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them.
14
But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: “Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God.
15
Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.”
16
And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

The Rich Young Man

(Matthew 19:16–30; Luke 18:18–30)
17
And when he had departed on the way, a certain one, running up and kneeling before him, asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do, so that I may secure eternal life?”
18
But Jesus said to him, “Why call me good? No one is good except the one God.(a)
19
You know the precepts: “Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not speak false testimony. Do not deceive. Honor your father and mother.”(b)
20
But in response, he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.”
21
Then Jesus, gazing at him, loved him, and he said to him: “One thing is lacking to you. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”
22
But he went away grieving, having been greatly saddened by the word. For he had many possessions.
23
And Jesus, looking around, said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!”
24
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus, answering again, said to them: “Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God!(c)
25
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God.”
26
And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, “Who, then, can be saved?”
27
And Jesus, gazing at them, said: “With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible.”
28
And Peter began to say to him, “Behold, we have left all things and have followed you.”
29
In response, Jesus said: “Amen I say to you, There is no one who has left behind house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake and for the Gospel,
30
who will not receive one hundred times as much, now in this time: houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land, with persecutions, and in the future age eternal life.
31
But many of the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”

The Third Prediction of the Passion

(Matthew 20:17–19; Luke 18:31–34)
32
Now they were on the way ascending to Jerusalem. And Jesus went ahead of them, and they were astonished. And those following him were afraid. And again, taking aside the twelve, he began to tell them what was about to happen to him.(d)
33
“For behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be handed over to the leaders of the priests, and to the scribes, and the elders. And they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles.
34
And they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death. And on the third day, he will rise again.”

The Request of James and John

(Matthew 20:20–28)
35
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, drew near to him, saying, “Teacher, we wish that whatever we will ask, you would do for us.”
36
But he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37
And they said, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your glory.”
38
But Jesus said to them: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink from the chalice from which I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?”
39
But they said to him, “We can.” Then Jesus said to them: “Indeed, you shall drink from the chalice, from which I drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism, with which I am to be baptized.
40
But to sit at my right, or at my left, is not mine to give to you, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
41
And the ten, upon hearing this, began to be indignant toward James and John.
42
But Jesus, calling them, said to them: “You know that those who seem to be leaders among the Gentiles dominate them, and their leaders exercise authority over them.
43
But it is not to be this way among you. Instead, whoever would become greater shall be your minister;
44
and whoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all.
45
So, too, the Son of man has not come so that they would minister to him, but so that he would minister and would give his life as a redemption for many.”

Jesus Heals Bartimaeus

(Matthew 20:29–34; Luke 18:35–43)
46
And they went to Jericho. And as he was setting out from Jericho with his disciples and a very numerous multitude, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind man, sat begging beside the way.
47
And when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and to say, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me.”
48
And many admonished him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, take pity on me.”
49
And Jesus, standing still, instructed him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying to him: “Be at peace. Arise. He is calling you.”
50
And casting aside his garment, he leapt up and went to him.
51
And in response, Jesus said to him, “What do you want, that I should do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Master, that I may see.”
52
Then Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has made you whole.” And immediately he saw, and he followed him on the way.

(a)10:18 None is good:Of himself entirely and essentially, but God alone; men may be good also, but only by participation of God’s goodness.(Challoner)
(b)10:19 Notice that in Matthew, in the Latin, the narrower ‘Do not murder’ is used, but in Mark, the broader idea of ‘Do not kill’ is used. Now with the phrase ‘Do not deceive’ the translation again chooses the broader idea, over the narrower one ‘Do not defraud.’(Conte)
(c)10:24 The word ‘filioli’ is very unusual; it means ‘little sons.’ It does not mean ‘little children,’ nor is it accurately translated as merely, ‘children.’(Conte)
(d)10:32 Jesus went ahead of them in some miraculous manner, as Blessed A. C. Emmerich also describes.(Conte)
(Matthew 19:1–12)
1
He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.
2
Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
3
He answered, “What did Moses command you?”
4
They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”
5
But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.
6
But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. (a)
7
For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,
8
and the two will become one flesh, (b) so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9
What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
10
In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
11
He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12
If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

Jesus Blesses the Children

(Matthew 19:13–15; Luke 18:15–17)
13
They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
14
But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
15
Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
16
He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

The Rich Young Man

(Matthew 19:16–30; Luke 18:18–30)
17
As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
18
Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
19
You 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.’” (c)
20
He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”
21
Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”
22
But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
23
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!”
24
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25
It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26
They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”
27
Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”
28
Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all and have followed you.”
29
Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,
30
but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.
31
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

The Third Prediction of the Passion

(Matthew 20:17–19; Luke 18:31–34)
32
They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
33
“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
34
They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

The Request of James and John

(Matthew 20:20–28)
35
James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”
36
He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
37
They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left hand, in your glory.”
38
But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
39
They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
40
but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”
41
When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John.
42
Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43
But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.
44
Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all.
45
For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Jesus Heals Bartimaeus

(Matthew 20:29–34; Luke 18:35–43)
46
They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.
47
When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
48
Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
49
Jesus stood still and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”
50
He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
51
Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni,(d) that I may see again.”
52
Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the way.
