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.

Levantándose de allí, Jesús se fue a la región de Judea y al otro lado del Jordán; y se reunieron de nuevo las multitudes junto a El, y una vez más, como acostumbraba, les enseñaba. Enseñanza de Jesús sobre el Divorcio

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?

Se acercaron algunos Fariseos, y para poner a prueba a Jesús, Le preguntaban si era lícito a un hombre divorciarse de su mujer.

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

“¿Qué les mandó Moisés?” les dijo Jesús.

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

Ellos respondieron: “Moisés permitió al hombre escribir carta de divorcio y repudiarla.”

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.

Entonces Jesús les dijo: “Por la dureza del corazón de ustedes, Moisés les escribió este mandamiento.

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

Pero desde el principio de la creación, Dios los hizo varon y hembra.

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 esta razon el hombre dejara a su padre y a su madre,

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

y los dos seran una sola carne; así que ya no son dos, sino una sola carne.

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

Por tanto, lo que Dios ha unido, ningún hombre lo separe.”

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

Ya en casa, los discípulos Le volvieron a preguntar sobre esto.

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

Y El les dijo: “Cualquiera que se divorcie de su mujer y se case con otra, comete adulterio contra ella;

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

y si ella se divorcia de su marido y se casa con otro, comete adulterio.” Jesús Bendice a los Niños

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

Traían niños a Jesús para que El los tocara, pero los discípulos los reprendieron.

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.

Cuando Jesús vio esto, se indignó y les dijo: “Dejen que los niños vengan a Mí; no se lo impidan, porque de los que son como éstos es el reino de Dios.

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.

En verdad les digo, que el que no reciba el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él.”

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

Y tomándolos en los brazos, los bendecía, poniendo las manos sobre ellos. El Joven Rico

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]?

Cuando Jesús salía para irse, vino un hombre corriendo, y arrodillándose delante de El, Le preguntó: “Maestro bueno, ¿qué haré para heredar la 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.

Jesús le respondió: “¿Por qué Me llamas bueno? Nadie es bueno, sino sólo uno, Dios.

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.

Tú sabes los mandamientos: ‘ No mates, no cometas adulterio, no hurtes, no des falso testimonio, no defraudes, honra a tu padre y a tu madre.’”

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.

“Maestro, todo esto lo he guardado desde mi juventud,” dijo el hombre.

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].

Jesús, mirándolo, lo amó y le dijo: “Una cosa te falta: ve y vende cuanto tienes y da a los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; entonces vienes y Me sigues.”

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.

Pero él, afligido por estas palabras, se fue triste, porque era dueño de muchos bienes. Peligro de las Riquezas

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!

Jesús, mirando en derredor, dijo a Sus discípulos: “¡Qué difícil será para los que tienen riquezas entrar en el reino de Dios!”

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!

Los discípulos se asombraron de Sus palabras. Pero Jesús respondiendo de nuevo, les dijo: “Hijos, ¡qué difícil es entrar en el reino de Dios!

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.

Es más fácil para un camello pasar por el ojo de una aguja, que para un rico entrar en el reino de Dios.”

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

Ellos se asombraron aún más, diciendo entre sí: “¿Y quién podrá salvarse?”

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

Mirándolos Jesús, dijo: “Para los hombres es imposible, pero no para Dios, porque todas las cosas son posibles para Dios.”

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].

Entonces Pedro comenzó a decir a Jesús: “Nosotros lo hemos dejado todo y Te hemos seguido.”

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

Jesús respondió: “En verdad les digo, que no hay nadie que haya dejado casa, o hermanos, o hermanas, o madre, o padre, o hijos o tierras por causa de Mí y por causa del evangelio,

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 no reciba cien veces más ahora en este tiempo: casas, y hermanos, y hermanas, y madres, e hijos, y tierras junto con persecuciones; y en el siglo venidero, la vida eterna.

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

Pero muchos primeros serán últimos, y los últimos, primeros.” Jesús Anuncia Su Muerte Por Tercera Vez

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,

Iban por el camino subiendo a Jerusalén, y Jesús iba delante de ellos. Los discípulos estaban perplejos, y los que Lo seguían tenían miedo. Y tomando aparte de nuevo a los doce, comenzó a decirles lo que Le iba a suceder:

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.

“Ahora subimos a Jerusalén, y el Hijo del Hombre será entregado a los principales sacerdotes y a los escribas, y Lo condenarán a muerte y Lo entregarán a los Gentiles.

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].

Se burlarán de El y Le escupirán, Lo azotarán y Lo matarán, y tres días después resucitará.” Petición de Jacobo y Juan

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.

Jacobo (Santiago) y Juan, los dos hijos de Zebedeo, se acercaron a Jesús, diciendo: “Maestro, queremos que hagas por nosotros lo que te pidamos.”

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

“¿Qué quieren que haga por ustedes?” les preguntó.

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).

Ellos Le dijeron: “Concédenos que en Tu gloria nos sentemos uno a Tu derecha y el otro a Tu izquierda.”

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?

Jesús les dijo: “Ustedes no saben lo que piden. ¿Pueden beber la copa que Yo bebo, o ser bautizados con el bautismo con que soy bautizado ?”

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,

Le respondieron: “Podemos.” Y Jesús les dijo: “La copa que Yo bebo, beberán; y serán bautizados con el bautismo con que Yo soy bautizado;

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.

pero el sentarse a Mi derecha o a Mi izquierda, no es Mío el concederlo, sino que es para quienes ha sido preparado.”

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

Al oír esto, los diez comenzaron a indignarse contra Jacobo y Juan.

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.

Llamándolos junto a El, Jesús les dijo: “Ustedes saben que los que son reconocidos como gobernantes de los Gentiles se enseñorean de ellos, y que sus grandes ejercen autoridad sobre ellos.

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

Pero entre ustedes no es así, sino que cualquiera de ustedes que desee llegar a ser grande será su servidor,

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

y cualquiera de ustedes que desee ser el primero será siervo 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.

Porque ni aun el Hijo del Hombre vino para ser servido, sino para servir, y para dar Su vida en rescate por muchos.” El Ciego Bartimeo es Sanado

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.

Entonces llegaron a Jericó. Y cuando El salía de Jericó con Sus discípulos y una gran multitud, un mendigo ciego llamado Bartimeo, el hijo de Timeo, estaba sentado junto al camino.

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]!

Cuando oyó que era Jesús el Nazareno, comenzó a gritar y a decir: “¡Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí!”

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!

Y muchos lo reprendían para que se callara, pero él gritaba mucho más: “¡Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí!”

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.

Jesús se detuvo y dijo: “Llámenlo.” Y llamaron al ciego, diciéndole: “¡Anímate! Levántate, que te llama.”

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

Arrojando su manto, se levantó de un salto y fue a Jesús.

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.

Y dirigiéndose a él, Jesús le preguntó: “¿Qué deseas que haga por ti?” Y el ciego Le respondió: “Raboní (Mi Maestro), que recobre la vista.”

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.

“Vete, tu fe te ha sanado,” le dijo Jesús. Al instante el ciego recobró la vista, y Lo seguía por el camino.
