1 A nd left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; and crowds gathered around Him again, and as was His custom, He began to teach them again.

Levantando-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.

2 A nd some Pharisees came up, and, in order to test Him and try to find a weakness in Him, asked, Is it lawful for a man to dismiss and repudiate and divorce his wife?

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

3 H e answered them, What did Moses command you?

Ele, porém, respondeu-lhes: Que vos ordenou Moisés?

4 T hey replied, Moses allowed a man to write a bill of divorce and to put her away.

Replicaram eles: Moisés permitiu escrever carta de divórcio, e repudiar a mulher.

5 B ut Jesus said to them, Because of your hardness of heart '> your condition of insensibility to the call of God] he wrote you this precept in your Law.

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

6 B ut from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.

Mas desde o princípio da criação, Deus os fez homem e mulher.

7 F or this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and cleave closely to her permanently,

Por isso deixará o homem a seu pai e a sua mãe,

8 A nd the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

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

9 W hat therefore God has united (joined together), let not man separate or divide.

Porquanto o que Deus ajuntou, não o separe o homem.

10 A nd indoors the disciples questioned Him again about this subject.

Em casa os discípulos interrogaram-no de novo sobre isso.

11 A nd He said to them, Whoever dismisses (repudiates and divorces) his wife and marries another commits adultery against her;

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

12 A nd if a woman dismisses (repudiates and divorces) her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.

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

13 A nd they kept bringing young children to Him that He might touch them, and the disciples were reproving them.

Então lhe traziam algumas crianças para que as tocasse; mas os discípulos o repreenderam.

14 B ut when Jesus saw, He was indignant and pained and said to them, Allow the children to come to Me—do not forbid or prevent or hinder them—for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

Jesus, 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.

15 T ruly I tell you, whoever does not receive and accept and welcome the kingdom of God like a little child positively shall not enter it at all.

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

16 A nd He took them '> one by one] in His arms and '> fervently invoked a] blessing, placing His hands upon them.

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

17 A nd as He was setting out on His journey, a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him, Teacher, '> essentially and perfectly morally] good, what must I do to inherit eternal life '> to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?

Ora, 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?

18 A nd Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me '> essentially and perfectly morally] good? There is no one '> essentially and perfectly morally] good—except God alone.

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

19 Y ou know the commandments: Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.

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

20 A nd he replied to Him, Teacher, I have carefully guarded and observed all these and taken care not to violate them from my boyhood.

Ele, porém, lhe replicou: Mestre, tudo isso tenho guardado desde a minha juventude.

21 A nd Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and He said to him, You lack one thing; go and sell all you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come accompany Me '> walking the same road that I walk].

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.

22 A t that saying the man’s countenance fell and was gloomy, and he went away grieved and sorrowing, for he was holding great possessions.

Mas ele, pesaroso desta palavra, retirou-se triste, porque possuía muitos bens.

23 A nd Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, With what difficulty will those who possess wealth and keep on holding it enter the kingdom of God!

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

24 A nd the disciples were amazed and bewildered and perplexed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who trust (place their confidence, their sense of safety) in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

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

25 I t is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

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

26 A nd they were shocked and exceedingly astonished, and said to Him and to one another, Then who can be saved?

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

27 J esus glanced around at them and said, With men impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.

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

28 P eter started to say to Him, Behold, we have yielded up and abandoned everything '> joined You as Your disciples, siding with Your party] and accompanied You '> walking the same road that You walk].

Pedro começou a dizer-lhe: Eis que nós deixamos tudo e te seguimos.

29 J esus said, Truly I tell you, there is no one who has given up and left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for My sake and for the Gospel’s

Respondeu 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,

30 W ho will not receive a hundred times as much 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.

que 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.

31 B ut many first will be last, and many last will be first.

Mas muitos que são primeiros serão últimos; e muitos que são últimos serão primeiros.

32 T hey were on the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on in front of them; and they were bewildered and perplexed and greatly astonished, and those following were seized with alarm and were afraid. And He took the Twelve again and began to tell them what was about to happen to Him,

Ora, 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,

33 B ehold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be turned over to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn and sentence Him to death and turn Him over to the Gentiles.

dizendo: 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;

34 A nd they will mock Him and spit on Him, and whip Him and put Him to death; but after three days He will rise again '> from death].

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

35 A nd James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Him and said to Him, Teacher, we desire You to do for us whatever we ask of You.

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

36 A nd He replied to them, What do you desire Me to do for you?

Ele, pois, lhes perguntou: Que quereis que eu vos faça?

37 A nd they said to Him, Grant that we may sit, one at Your right hand and one at left hand, in Your glory (Your majesty and splendor).

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

38 B ut Jesus said to them, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?

Mas 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?

39 A nd they replied to Him, We are able. And Jesus told them, The cup that I drink you will drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized,

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;

40 B ut to sit at My right hand or at My left hand is not Mine to give; but for whom it is ordained and prepared.

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

41 A nd when the other ten heard it, they began to be indignant with James and John.

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

42 B ut Jesus called them to and said to them, You know that those who are recognized as governing and are supposed to rule the Gentiles (the nations) lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority and dominion over them.

Então 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.

43 B ut this is not to be so among you; instead, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant,

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

44 A nd whoever wishes to be most important and first in rank among you must be slave of all.

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

45 F or even the Son of Man came not to have service rendered to Him, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for ( instead of) many.

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

46 T hen they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, a son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.

Depois 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.

47 A nd when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have pity and mercy on me '> now]!

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

48 A nd many severely censured and reproved him, telling him to keep still, but he kept on shouting out all the more, You Son of David, have pity and mercy on me!

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

49 A nd Jesus stopped and said, Call him. And they called the blind man, telling him, Take courage! Get up! He is calling you.

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

50 A nd throwing off his outer garment, he leaped up and came to Jesus.

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

51 A nd Jesus said to him, What do you want Me to do for you? And the blind man said to Him, Master, let me receive my sight.

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

52 A nd Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has healed you. And at once he received his sight and accompanied Jesus on the road.

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