And 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.

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

And 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?

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

He answered them, What did Moses command you?

4 E llos respondieron: “Moisés permitió al hombre escribir carta de divorcio y repudiarla.”

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

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

But 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.

6 P ero desde el principio de la creación, Dios los hizo varon y hembra.

But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.

7 P or esta razon el hombre dejara a su padre y a su madre,

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

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

And the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 P or tanto, lo que Dios ha unido, ningún hombre lo separe.”

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

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

And indoors the disciples questioned Him again about this subject.

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

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

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

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

13 T raían niños a Jesús para que El los tocara, pero los discípulos los reprendieron.

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

14 C uando 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.

But 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.

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

Truly 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.

And 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]?

And 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.

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

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

21 J esús, 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.”

And 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].

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

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

And 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!

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

And 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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Peter 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].

29 J esús 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,

Jesus 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

They 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,

And 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).

38 J esús 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 ?”

But 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?

And 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,

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

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

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

42 L lamándolos 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.

But 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.

Then 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.
