¹He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

¹Kemudian Yesus meninggalkan tempat itu, dan pergi ke daerah Yudea dan daerah di seberang Sungai Yordan. Orang banyak datang lagi berkerumun sekeliling Yesus. Dan seperti biasa Yesus mengajar mereka.

²Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

²Beberapa orang Farisi datang juga untuk menjebak Yesus. Mereka bertanya, "Menurut hukum agama kita, apakah boleh orang menceraikan istrinya?"

³He answered, “What did Moses command you?”

³Yesus menjawab, "Musa memberi perintah apa kepada kalian?"

⁴They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”

⁴"Musa mengizinkan orang menceraikan istrinya, asal menulis surat cerai dahulu," jawab mereka.

⁵But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

⁵"Musa menulis perintah itu sebab kalian terlalu sukar diajar," kata Yesus kepada mereka.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. Genesis 1:27

⁶"Tetapi pada permulaannya, pada waktu Allah menciptakan manusia, dikatakan bahwa 'Allah menjadikan mereka laki-laki dan wanita.

⁷ For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

⁷Itu sebabnya laki-laki akan meninggalkan ibu bapaknya dan bersatu dengan istrinya,

⁸ and the two will become one flesh, Genesis 2:24 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

⁸maka keduanya menjadi satu.' Jadi, mereka bukan lagi dua orang, melainkan satu.

⁹ What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

⁹Itu sebabnya, apa yang sudah disatukan oleh Allah, tidak boleh diceraikan oleh manusia!"

¹⁰In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

¹⁰Setelah mereka masuk rumah, pengikut-pengikut-Nya bertanya kepada Yesus tentang hal itu.

¹¹He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

¹¹Yesus berkata kepada mereka, "Siapa menceraikan istrinya lalu kawin dengan wanita lain, orang itu berzinah terhadap istrinya yang pertama itu.

¹² If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery.”

¹²Begitu juga wanita yang menceraikan suaminya lalu kawin dengan lelaki yang lain, ia pun berzinah."

¹³They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

¹³Ada orang-orang membawa anak-anak kepada Yesus supaya Ia menjamah dan memberkati mereka. Tetapi pengikut-pengikut Yesus memarahi orang-orang itu.

¹⁴But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

¹⁴Melihat hal itu, Yesus marah lalu Ia berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya "Biarkan anak-anak itu datang kepada-Ku! Jangan melarang mereka, sebab orang-orang seperti inilah yang menjadi anggota umat Allah.

¹⁵ Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

¹⁵Ingatlah ini! Siapa tidak menghadap Allah seperti seorang anak, tidak akan menjadi anggota umat Allah."

¹⁶He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

¹⁶Sesudah mengatakan demikian, Yesus memeluk anak-anak itu, kemudian Ia meletakkan tangan-Nya ke atas mereka masing-masing dan memberkati mereka.

¹⁷As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

¹⁷Waktu Yesus meneruskan lagi perjalanan-Nya, seorang datang berlari-lari kepada Yesus. Orang itu sujud di hadapan Yesus dan bertanya, "Guru yang baik, saya harus berbuat apa supaya dapat menerima hidup sejati dan kekal?"

¹⁸Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.

¹⁸"Mengapa engkau mengatakan Aku baik?" tanya Yesus. "Tidak ada yang baik, selain Allah sendiri.

¹⁹ You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’” Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

¹⁹Engkau sudah tahu perintah-perintah Allah, 'Jangan membunuh, jangan berzinah, jangan mencuri, jangan bersaksi dusta, jangan menipu, hormatilah ayah dan ibumu.'"

²⁰He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”

²⁰"Bapak Guru," kata orang itu, "semua perintah itu sudah saya turuti sejak muda."

²¹Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”

²¹Yesus memandang orang itu dengan sayang lalu berkata, "Tinggal satu hal lagi yang engkau perlukan. Pergilah jual semua milikmu; berikanlah uangnya kepada orang miskin, dan engkau akan mendapat harta di surga. Sesudah itu datanglah mengikuti Aku."

²²But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

²²Mendengar Yesus berkata begitu, orang itu kecewa, lalu meninggalkan tempat itu dengan susah hati karena ia kaya sekali.

²³Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!”

²³Maka Yesus memandang pengikut-pengikut-Nya lalu berkata kepada mereka, "Sukar sekali untuk orang kaya menjadi anggota umat Allah!"

²⁴The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁴Pengikut-pengikut-Nya heran mendengar perkataan Yesus itu. Tetapi Yesus berkata pula, "Anak-anak-Ku, memang sukar untuk menjadi anggota umat Allah!

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

²⁵Lebih mudah seekor unta masuk lubang jarum daripada seorang kaya masuk Dunia Baru Allah."

²⁶They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”

²⁶Kata-kata Yesus itu membuat pengikut-pengikut-Nya heran, sehingga mereka bertanya satu sama lain, "Kalau begitu, siapa yang bisa selamat?"

²⁷Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”

²⁷Yesus memandang mereka dan menjawab, "Bagi manusia itu mustahil, tetapi tidak mustahil bagi Allah; semua mungkin bagi Allah."

²⁸Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all, and have followed you.”

²⁸Lalu Petrus berkata, "Lihatlah, kami sudah meninggalkan segala-galanya untuk mengikuti Bapak."

²⁹Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

²⁹Kata Yesus, "Percayalah: orang yang sudah meninggalkan rumah tangganya, atau saudaranya yang laki-laki atau perempuan, atau ibunya, atau bapaknya, atau anak-anaknya, ataupun sawah ladangnya karena Aku dan karena Kabar Baik dari Allah,

³⁰ but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.

³⁰orang itu akan menerima lebih banyak pada masa sekarang ini. Ia akan mendapat seratus kali lebih banyak rumah, saudara laki-laki, saudara perempuan, ibu, anak-anak, sawah ladang, --dan siksaan juga. Dan nanti di zaman yang akan datang, orang itu akan menerima hidup sejati dan kekal.

³¹ But many who are first will be last; and the last first.”

³¹Tetapi banyak orang yang sekarang ini pertama akan menjadi yang terakhir dan banyak yang sekarang ini terakhir akan menjadi yang pertama."

³²They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

³²Yesus dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya sedang dalam perjalanan ke Yerusalem. Yesus berjalan di depan, dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya cemas semuanya. Dan orang-orang yang mengikuti mereka dari belakang pun merasa takut. Kemudian Yesus memanggil lagi pengikut-pengikut-Nya tersendiri dan memberitahukan kepada mereka apa yang akan terjadi nanti atas diri-Nya.

³³ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

³³"Dengarlah," kata-Nya, "kita sekarang sedang menuju Yerusalem. Di sana Anak Manusia akan diserahkan kepada imam-imam kepala dan guru-guru agama. Ia akan dihukum mati, kemudian diserahkan kepada orang-orang bukan Yahudi.

³⁴ They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

³⁴Mereka akan mengolok-olok Dia, meludahi Dia, menyiksa Dia, dan menyalibkan Dia. Tetapi pada hari ketiga Ia akan bangkit."

³⁵James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”

³⁵Lalu Yakobus dan Yohanes, yaitu anak-anak Zebedeus, datang kepada Yesus. "Bapak Guru," kata mereka, "ada suatu hal yang kami ingin Bapak lakukan untuk kami."

³⁶He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”

³⁶"Apa yang kalian ingin Aku perbuat bagimu?" tanya Yesus.

³⁷They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory.”

³⁷Mereka menjawab, "Kami ingin duduk di kanan kiri Bapak, apabila Bapak bertakhta dengan mulia."

³⁸But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

³⁸"Kalian tidak tahu apa yang kalian minta," kata Yesus kepada mereka, "Sanggupkah kalian minum dari piala penderitaan yang akan Aku minum dan masuk ke dalam kancah penderitaan yang akan Aku masuki?"

³⁹They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

³⁹"Sanggup," jawab mereka. Maka Yesus berkata lagi kepada mereka, "Memang kalian akan minum dari piala penderitaan yang akan Aku minum, dan masuk ke dalam kancah penderitaan yang akan Aku masuki.

⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”

⁴⁰Tetapi mengenai siapa yang akan duduk di kanan atau kiri-Ku, itu bukan Aku yang berhak menentukan. Allah yang menentukan siapa-siapa yang akan duduk di tempat-tempat itu."

⁴¹When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.

⁴¹Ketika sepuluh pengikut Yesus yang lainnya itu mendengar hal itu, mereka marah kepada Yakobus dan Yohanes.

⁴²Jesus summoned them, and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

⁴²Jadi Yesus memanggil mereka semuanya, lalu berkata, "Kalian tahu bahwa pemimpin-pemimpin bangsa yang tidak mengenal Allah menindas rakyatnya. Dan pembesar-pembesar mereka menekan mereka.

⁴³ But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

⁴³Tetapi kalian tidak boleh begitu! Sebaliknya, orang yang mau menjadi besar di antara kalian, ia harus menjadi pelayanmu.

⁴⁴ Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all.

⁴⁴Dan orang yang mau menjadi yang pertama di antara kalian, harus menjadi hamba bagi semua.

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.”

⁴⁵Sebab Anak Manusia pun tidak datang untuk dilayani. Ia datang untuk melayani dan untuk menyerahkan nyawa-Nya untuk membebaskan banyak orang."

⁴⁶They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

⁴⁶Mereka tiba di Yerikho. Dan waktu Yesus dengan pengikut-pengikut-Nya serta orang banyak meninggalkan kota itu, seorang buta sedang duduk minta-minta di pinggir jalan. Namanya Bartimeus, anak dari Timeus.

⁴⁷When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁷Ketika ia mendengar bahwa yang sedang lewat itu adalah Yesus orang Nazaret, ia berteriak, "Yesus, Anak Daud! Kasihanilah saya!"

⁴⁸Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁸Ia dimarahi oleh banyak orang dan disuruh diam. Tetapi ia lebih keras lagi berteriak, "Anak Daud, kasihanilah saya!"

⁴⁹Jesus stood still, and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”

⁴⁹Maka Yesus berhenti lalu berkata, "Panggillah dia." Jadi mereka memanggil orang buta itu. Mereka berkata kepadanya, "Tenanglah! Kau dipanggil Yesus, bangun!"

⁵⁰He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

⁵⁰Orang buta itu pun melemparkan jubahnya, lalu cepat-cepat berdiri dan pergi kepada Yesus.

⁵¹Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “great teacher.” that I may see again.”

⁵¹"Apa yang kauingin Aku perbuat untukmu?" tanya Yesus kepadanya. Orang buta itu menjawab, "Pak Guru, saya ingin melihat."

⁵²Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

⁵²"Pergilah," kata Yesus, "karena engkau percaya kepada-Ku, engkau sembuh." Pada saat itu juga orang itu dapat melihat. Lalu ia mengikuti Yesus di jalan.
