Mark 10:13–12:12

¹³And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them.

¹⁴Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁵Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it.

¹⁶And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

¹⁷And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?

¹⁸And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.

¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.

²⁰But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth.

²¹And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.

²²Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

²³And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God?

²⁵It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved?

²⁷And Jesus looking on them, saith with men it is impossible; but not with God. For all things are possible with God.

²⁸And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.

²⁹Jesus answering said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

³⁰Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time: houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.

³¹But many that are first shall be last: and the last, first.

³²And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them. And they were astonished and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him.

³³Saying: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes and ancients. And they shall condemn him to death and shall deliver him to the Gentiles.

³⁴And they shall mock him and spit on him and scourge him and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

³⁵And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us.

³⁶But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you?

³⁷And they said: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

³⁸And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?

³⁹But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of; and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized you shall be baptized.

⁴⁰But to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared.

⁴¹And the ten, hearing it, began to be much displeased at James and John.

⁴²But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them: and their princes have power over them.

⁴³But it is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater shall be your minister.

⁴⁴And whosoever will be first among you shall be the servant of all.

⁴⁵For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto: but to minister and to give his life a redemption for many.

⁴⁶And they came to Jericho. And as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a very great multitude, Bartimeus the blind man, the son of Timeus, sat by the way side begging.

⁴⁷Who when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, began to cry out and to say: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace; but he cried a great deal the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁹And Jesus, standing still, commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort. Arise, he calleth thee.

⁵⁰Who casting off his garment leaped up and came to him.

⁵¹And Jesus answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni. That I may see.

⁵²And Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw and followed him in the way.

Chapter 11

And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

²And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him.

³And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither.

⁴And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him.

⁵And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you loosing the colt?

⁶Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go with them.

⁷And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on him: and he sat upon him.

⁸And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way.

⁹And they that went before and they that followed cried, saying: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

¹⁰Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest.

¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.

¹²And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry.

¹³And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs.

¹⁴And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever! And his disciples heard it.

¹⁵And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them that sold doves.

¹⁶And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

¹⁷And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written: My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves.

¹⁸Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine.

¹⁹And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city.

²⁰And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

²¹And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away.

²²And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God.

²³Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him.

²⁴Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you.

²⁵And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins.

²⁶But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in heaven forgive you your sins.

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

²⁸And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things?

²⁹And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word. And answer you me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁰The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.

³¹But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

³²If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

³³And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Chapter 12

And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it and dug a place for the winefat and built a tower and let it to husbandmen: and went into a far country.

²And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

³Who, having laid hands on him, beat and sent him away empty.

⁴And again he sent to them another servant: and him they wounded in the head and used him reproachfully.

⁵And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.

⁶Therefore, having yet one son, most dear to him, he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.

⁷But the…
