1 L evantando-se Jesus, partiu dali para os termos da Judéia, e para além do Jordão; e do novo as multidões se reuniram em torno dele; e tornou a ensiná-las, como tinha por costume.

Jesus went away from the city of Capernaum. He came to the country of Judea and to the other side of the Jordan River. Again the people gathered around Him. He began to teach them as He had been doing.

2 E ntão se aproximaram dele alguns fariseus e, para o experimentarem, lhe perguntaram: É lícito ao homem repudiar sua mulher?

The proud religious law-keepers came to Him. They tried to trap Him and asked, “Does the Law say a man can divorce his wife?”

3 E le, porém, respondeu-lhes: Que vos ordenou Moisés?

He said to them, “What did the Law of Moses say?”

4 R eplicaram eles: Moisés permitiu escrever carta de divórcio, e repudiar a mulher.

They said, “Moses allowed a man to divorce his wife, if he put it in writing and gave it to her.”

5 D isse-lhes Jesus: Pela dureza dos vossos corações ele vos deixou escrito esse mandamento.

Jesus said to them, “Because of your hard hearts, Moses gave you this Law.

6 M as desde o princípio da criação, Deus os fez homem e mulher.

From the beginning of the world, God made them man and woman.

7 P or isso deixará o homem a seu pai e a sua mãe,

Because of this, a man is to leave his father and mother and is to live with his wife.

8 e serão os dois uma só carne; assim já não são mais dois, mas uma só carne.

The two will become one. So they are no longer two, but one.

9 P orquanto o que Deus ajuntou, não o separe o homem.

Let no man divide what God has put together.”

10 E m casa os discípulos interrogaram-no de novo sobre isso.

In the house the followers asked Jesus about this again.

11 A o que lhes respondeu: Qualquer que repudiar sua mulher e casar com outra comete adultério contra ela;

He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another is not faithful to her and is guilty of a sex sin.

12 e se ela repudiar seu marido e casar com outro, comete adultério.

If a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she is not faithful to her husband and is guilty of a sex sin.” Jesus Gives Thanks for Little Children

13 E ntão lhe traziam algumas crianças para que as tocasse; mas os discípulos o repreenderam.

They brought little children to Jesus that He might put His hand on them. The followers spoke sharp words to those who brought them.

14 J esus, porém, vendo isto, indignou-se e disse-lhes: Deixai vir a mim as crianças, e não as impeçais, porque de tais é o reino de Deus.

Jesus saw this and was angry with the followers. He said, “Let the little children come to Me. Do not stop them. The holy nation of God is made up of ones like these.

15 E m verdade vos digo que qualquer que não receber o reino de Deus como criança, de maneira nenhuma entrará nele.

For sure, I tell you, whoever does not receive the holy nation of God as a little child does not go into it.”

16 E , tomando-as nos seus braços, as abençoou, pondo as mãos sobre elas.

He took the children in His arms. He put His hands on them and prayed that good would come to them. Jesus Teaches about Keeping the Law

17 O ra, ao sair para se pôr a caminho, correu para ele um homem, o qual se ajoelhou diante dele e lhe perguntou: Bom Mestre, que hei de fazer para herdar a vida eterna?

Jesus was going on His way. A man ran to Him and got down on his knees. He said, “Good Teacher, what must I do to have life that lasts forever?”

18 R espondeu-lhe Jesus: Por que me chamas bom? ninguém é bom, senão um que é Deus.

Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? There is only One Who is good. That is God.

19 S abes os mandamentos: Não matarás; não adulterarás; não furtarás; não dirás falso testemunho; a ninguém defraudarás; honra a teu pai e a tua mãe.

You know the Laws, ‘Do not be guilty of sex sins in marriage. Do not kill another person. Do not take things from people in wrong ways. Do not steal. Do not lie. Respect your father and mother.’”

20 E le, porém, lhe replicou: Mestre, tudo isso tenho guardado desde a minha juventude.

The man said to Jesus, “Teacher, I have obeyed all these Laws since I was a boy.”

21 E Jesus, olhando para ele, o amou e lhe disse: Uma coisa te falta; vai vende tudo quanto tens e dá-o aos pobres, e terás um tesouro no céu; e vem, segue-me.

Jesus looked at him with love and said, “There is one thing for you to do yet. Go and sell everything you have and give the money to poor people. You will have riches in heaven. Then come and follow Me.”

22 M as ele, pesaroso desta palavra, retirou-se triste, porque possuía muitos bens.

When the man heard these words, he was sad. He walked away with sorrow because he had many riches here on earth. The Danger of Riches

23 E ntão Jesus, olhando em redor, disse aos seus discípulos: Quão dificilmente entrarão no reino de Deus os que têm riquezas!

Jesus looked around Him. He said to His followers, “How hard it is for rich people to get into the holy nation of God!”

24 E os discípulos se maravilharam destas suas palavras; mas Jesus, tornando a falar, disse-lhes: Filhos, quão difícil é entrar no reino de Deus!

The followers were surprised and wondered about His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children! How hard it is for those who put their trust in riches to get into the holy nation of God!

25 É mais fácil um camelo passar pelo fundo de uma agulha, do que entrar um rico no reino de Deus.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven.”

26 C om isso eles ficaram sobremaneira maravilhados, dizendo entre si: Quem pode, então, ser salvo?

They were very surprised and wondered, saying to themselves, “Then who can be saved from the punishment of sin?”

27 J esus, fixando os olhos neles, respondeu: Para os homens é impossível, mas não para Deus; porque para Deus tudo é possível.

Jesus looked at them and said, “This cannot be done by men but God can do anything.”

28 P edro começou a dizer-lhe: Eis que nós deixamos tudo e te seguimos.

Then Peter began to say to Him, “We have given up everything we had and have followed You.”

29 R espondeu Jesus: Em verdade vos digo que ninguém há, que tenha deixado casa, ou irmãos, ou irmãs, ou mãe, ou pai, ou filhos, ou campos, por amor de mim e do evangelho,

Jesus said, “For sure, I tell you, there are those who have given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands because of Me, and the Good News.

30 q ue não receba cem vezes tanto, já neste tempo, em casas, e irmãos, e irmãs, e mães, e filhos, e campos, com perseguições; e no mundo vindouro a vida eterna.

They will get back one hundred times as much now at this time in houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands. Along with this, they will have very much trouble. And they will have life that lasts forever in the world to come.

31 M as muitos que são primeiros serão últimos; e muitos que são últimos serão primeiros.

Many who are first will be last. Many who are last will be first.” Jesus Tells of His Death the Third Time

32 O ra, estavam a caminho, subindo para Jerusalém; e Jesus ia adiante deles, e eles se maravilhavam e o seguiam atemorizados. De novo tomou consigo os doze e começou a contar-lhes as coisas que lhe haviam de sobrevir,

They were on their way to Jerusalem. Jesus walked in front of them. Those who followed were surprised and afraid. Then Jesus took the twelve followers by themselves. He told them what would happen to Him.

33 d izendo: Eis que subimos a Jerusalém, e o Filho do homem será entregue aos principais sacerdotes e aos escribas; e eles o condenarão ã morte, e o entregarão aos gentios;

He said, “Listen, we are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the religious leaders of the Jews and to the teachers of the Law. They will say that He must be put to death. They will hand Him over to the people who are not Jews.

34 e hão de escarnecê-lo e cuspir nele, e açoitá-lo, e matá-lo; e depois de três dias ressurgirá.

They will make fun of Him and will beat Him. They will spit on Him and will kill Him. But three days later He will be raised from the dead.” James and John Ask Jesus Something Hard

35 N isso aproximaram-se dele Tiago e João, filhos de Zebedeu, dizendo-lhe: Mestre, queremos que nos faças o que te pedirmos.

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus. They said, “Teacher, we would like to have You do for us whatever we ask You.”

36 E le, pois, lhes perguntou: Que quereis que eu vos faça?

He said to them, “What would you like to have Me do for you?”

37 R esponderam-lhe: Concede-nos que na tua glória nos sentemos, um ã tua direita, e outro ã tua esquerda.

They said to Him, “Let one of us sit by Your right side and the other by Your left side when You receive Your great honor in heaven.”

38 M as Jesus lhes disse: Não sabeis o que pedis; podeis beber o cálice que eu bebo, e ser batizados no batismo em que eu sou batizado?

Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Can you take the suffering I am about to take? Can you be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

39 E lhe responderam: Podemos. Mas Jesus lhes disse: O cálice que eu bebo, haveis de bebê-lo, e no batismo em que eu sou batizado, haveis de ser batizados;

They said to Him, “Yes, we can.” Jesus said to them, “You will, for sure, suffer the way I will suffer. You will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with.

40 m as o sentar-se ã minha direita, ou ã minha esquerda, não me pertence concedê-lo; mas isso é para aqueles a quem está reservado.

But to sit on My right side or on My left side is not for Me to give. It will be given to those for whom it has been made ready.”

41 E ouvindo isso os dez, começaram a indignar-se contra Tiago e João.

The other ten followers heard it. They were angry with James and John.

42 E ntão Jesus chamou-os para junto de si e lhes disse: Sabeis que os que são reconhecidos como governadores dos gentios, deles se assenhoreiam, e que sobre eles os seus grandes exercem autoridade.

Jesus called them to Him and said, “You know that those who are made leaders over the nations show their power to the people. Important leaders use their power over the people.

43 M as entre vós não será assim; antes, qualquer que entre vós quiser tornar-se grande, será esse o que vos sirva;

It must not be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great among you, let him care for you.

44 e qualquer que entre vós quiser ser o primeiro, será servo de todos.

Whoever wants to be first among you, must be the one who is owned and cares for all.

45 P ois também o Filho do homem não veio para ser servido, mas para servir, e para dar a sua vida em resgate de muitos.

For the Son of Man did not come to be cared for. He came to care for others. He came to give His life so that many could be bought by His blood and be made free from sin.” Healing of the Blind Man

46 D epois chegaram a Jericó. E, ao sair ele de Jericó com seus discípulos e uma grande multidão, estava sentado junto do caminho um mendigo cego, Bartimeu filho de Timeu.

Then they came to the city of Jericho. When He was leaving the city with His followers and many people, a blind man was sitting by the road. He was asking people for food or money as they passed by. His name was Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus.

47 E ste, quando ouviu que era Jesus, o nazareno, começou a clamar, dizendo: Jesus, Filho de Davi, tem compaixão de mim!

He heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. He began to speak with a loud voice, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”

48 E muitos o repreendiam, para que se calasse; mas ele clamava ainda mais: Filho de Davi, tem compaixão de mim.

Many people spoke sharp words to the blind man telling him not to call out like that. But he spoke all the more. He said, “Son of David, take pity on me.”

49 P arou, pois, Jesus e disse: Chamai-o. E chamaram o cego, dizendo-lhe: Tem bom ânimo; levanta-te, ele te chama.

Jesus stopped and told them to call the blind man. They called to him and said, “Take hope! Stand up, He is calling for you!”

50 N isto, lançando de si a sua capa, de um salto se levantou e foi ter com Jesus.

As he jumped up, he threw off his coat and came to Jesus.

51 P erguntou-lhe o cego: Que queres que te faça? Respondeu-lhe o cego: Mestre, que eu veja.

Jesus said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Lord, I want to see!”

52 D isse-lhe Jesus: Vai, a tua fé te salvou. E imediatamente recuperou a vista, e foi seguindo pelo caminho.

Jesus said, “Go! Your faith has healed you.” At once he could see and he followed Jesus down the road.
