Mark 10
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Teaching about Divorce
10 And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.
2 And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” 4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away.” 5 But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6 But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,[a] 8 and the two shall become one.’[b] So they are no longer two but one.[c] 9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.”
10 And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; 12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children
13 And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it he was indignant, and said to them, “Let the children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” 16 And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.
The Rich Man
17 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19 You 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.’” 20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth.” 21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words.[d] But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches[e] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 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 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him,[f] “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.” 28 Peter began to say to him, “Lo, we have left everything and followed you.” 29 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold 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.[g] 31 But many that are first will be last, and the last first.”
A Third Time Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
32 And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And taking the twelve again, he began to tell them what was to happen to him, 33 saying, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and deliver him to the Gentiles; 34 and they will mock him, and spit upon him, and scourge him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise.”
The Request of James and John
35 And James and John, the sons of Zeb′edee, came forward to him, and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” 36 And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” 38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” 39 And they said to him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
The Healing of Blind Bartimaeus
46 And they came to Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, Bartimae′us, a blind beggar, the son of Timae′us, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; rise, he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his mantle he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Master,[h] let me receive my sight.” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.

La Biblia de las Américas
Jesús en Judea
10 (A)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 Él, y una vez más, como acostumbraba, les enseñaba(B).
Enseñanza de Jesús sobre el divorcio
2 Y se le acercaron algunos fariseos, y para ponerle[a] a prueba, le preguntaban si era lícito a un hombre divorciarse de[b] su mujer. 3 Y respondiendo Él, les dijo: ¿Qué os mandó Moisés? 4 Y ellos dijeron: Moisés permitió al hombre escribir carta de divorcio y repudiarla(C). 5 Pero Jesús les dijo: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón os escribió este mandamiento(D). 6 Pero desde el principio de la creación(E), Dios los hizo varón y hembra(F). 7 Por esta razón el hombre dejará a su padre y a su madre[c](G), 8 y los dos serán una sola carne(H); por consiguiente, ya no son dos, sino una sola carne. 9 Por tanto, lo que Dios ha unido, ningún hombre lo separe. 10 Y ya en la casa, los discípulos volvieron a preguntarle sobre esto. 11 Y Él les dijo*: Cualquiera que se divorcie de[d] su mujer y se case con otra, comete adulterio contra ella(I); 12 y si ella se divorcia de[e] su marido(J) y se casa con otro, comete adulterio.
Jesús bendice a los niños
13 (K)Y le traían niños para que los tocara; y los discípulos los reprendieron. 14 Pero cuando Jesús vio esto, se indignó y les dijo: Dejad que los niños vengan a mí; no se lo impidáis, porque de los que son como estos[f] es el reino de Dios(L). 15 En verdad os digo: el que no reciba el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él(M). 16 Y tomándolos en sus brazos(N), los bendecía, poniendo las manos sobre ellos.
El joven rico
17 (O)Cuando salía para seguir su camino, vino uno corriendo, y arrodillándose delante de Él(P), le preguntó[g]: Maestro bueno, ¿qué haré para heredar la vida eterna(Q)? 18 Y Jesús le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Nadie es bueno, sino solo uno, Dios. 19 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(R)». 20 Y él le dijo: Maestro, todo esto lo he guardado(S) desde mi juventud. 21 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(T); y ven, sígueme. 22 Pero él, afligido por estas palabras, se fue triste, porque era dueño de muchos bienes.
Peligro de las riquezas
23 Jesús, mirando en derredor, dijo* a sus discípulos: ¡Qué difícil será para los que tienen riquezas entrar en el reino de Dios(U)! 24 Y los discípulos se asombraron(V) de sus palabras. Pero Jesús respondiendo de nuevo, les dijo*: Hijos, ¡qué difícil es entrar en el reino de Dios[h]! 25 Es más fácil que un camello pase por el ojo de una[i] aguja, que el que un rico entre en el reino de Dios(W). 26 Ellos se asombraron aún más, diciendo entre sí[j]: ¿Y quién podrá salvarse? 27 Mirándolos Jesús, dijo*: Para los hombres es imposible, pero no para Dios, porque todas las cosas son posibles para Dios(X). 28 Entonces Pedro comenzó a decirle: He aquí, nosotros lo hemos dejado todo y te hemos seguido(Y). 29 Jesús dijo: En verdad os digo: 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(Z), 30 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(AA), la vida eterna. 31 Pero muchos primeros serán últimos, y los últimos, primeros(AB).
Jesús anuncia su muerte por tercera vez
32 (AC)E iban por el camino subiendo a Jerusalén, y Jesús iba delante de ellos; y estaban perplejos(AD), y los que le seguían tenían miedo. Y tomando aparte de nuevo a los doce, comenzó a decirles lo que le iba a suceder: 33 He aquí, subimos a Jerusalén, y el Hijo del Hombre(AE) será entregado a los principales sacerdotes y a los escribas, y le condenarán a muerte y le entregarán a los gentiles. 34 Y se burlarán de Él y le escupirán(AF), le azotarán y le matarán, y tres días después resucitará.
Petición de Jacobo y Juan
35 (AG)Y se le acercaron* Jacobo[k] y Juan, los dos hijos de Zebedeo, diciéndole: Maestro, queremos que hagas por nosotros lo que te pidamos. 36 Y Él les dijo: ¿Qué queréis que haga por vosotros? 37 Ellos le dijeron: Concédenos[l] que en tu gloria(AH) nos sentemos uno a tu derecha y el otro a tu izquierda. 38 Pero Jesús les dijo: No sabéis lo que pedís. ¿Podéis beber la copa que yo bebo(AI), o ser bautizados con el bautismo con que soy bautizado(AJ)? 39 Y ellos le dijeron: Podemos. Y Jesús les dijo: La copa que yo bebo, beberéis; y seréis bautizados con el bautismo con que yo soy bautizado(AK), 40 pero el que os sentéis a mi derecha o a mi izquierda, no es mío el concederlo[m], sino que es para quienes ha sido preparado(AL). 41 Al oír esto, los diez comenzaron a indignarse contra Jacobo[n] y Juan. 42 (AM)Y llamándolos junto a sí, Jesús les dijo*: Sabéis que los que son reconocidos como gobernantes de los gentiles se enseñorean de ellos, y que sus grandes ejercen autoridad sobre ellos. 43 Pero entre vosotros no es así, sino que cualquiera de vosotros que desee llegar a ser grande será vuestro servidor(AN), 44 y cualquiera de vosotros que desee ser el primero será siervo de todos. 45 Porque ni aun el Hijo del Hombre vino para ser servido, sino para servir, y para dar su vida[o] en rescate por muchos(AO).
El ciego Bartimeo es sanado
46 (AP)Entonces llegaron* a Jericó. Y cuando salía de Jericó con sus discípulos y una gran multitud, un mendigo ciego llamado Bartimeo, el hijo de Timeo, estaba sentado junto al camino(AQ). 47 Y cuando oyó que era Jesús el Nazareno(AR), comenzó a gritar y a decir: ¡Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí(AS)! 48 Y muchos lo reprendían para que se callara, pero él gritaba mucho más: ¡Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí(AT)! 49 Y Jesús se detuvo y dijo: Llamadle. Y llamaron* al ciego, diciéndole: ¡Anímate(AU)! Levántate, que te llama. 50 Y arrojando su manto, se levantó de un salto y fue a Jesús. 51 Y dirigiéndose a él[p], Jesús le dijo: ¿Qué deseas que haga por ti? Y el ciego le respondió: Raboní[q](AV), que recobre la vista. 52 Y Jesús le dijo: Vete, tu fe te ha sanado[r](AW). Y al instante recobró la vista, y le seguía por el camino.
