Chronological New Testament Study Day 31
Matthew 19; Mark 10
1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left
Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large
crowds followed him, and he healed them there. 3 Some
Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to
divorce his wife for any and every reason?" 4 "Haven't
you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them
male and female,' 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will
leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become
one flesh' ? 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore
what God has joined together, let man not separate." 7 "Why
then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a
certificate of divorce and send her away?" 8 Jesus
replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts
were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I
tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness,
and marries another woman commits adultery." 10 The
disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and
wife, it is better not to marry." 11 Jesus replied, "Not
everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For
some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by
men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The
one who can accept this should accept it." 13 Then little
children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for
them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 Jesus
said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the
kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." 15When he had
placed his hands on them, he went on from there. 16 Now a man
came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get
eternal life?" 17 "Why do you ask me about what is
good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to
enter life, obey the commandments." 18 "Which
ones?" the man inquired. Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not
commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, 19 honor
your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.' " 20 "All
these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?" 21 Jesus
answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give
to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 22 When
the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. 23 Then
Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, 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." 25 When the disciples heard
this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be
saved?" 26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man
this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." 27 Peter
answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there
be for us?" 28 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the
truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,
you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or
brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will
receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30 But
many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of
Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his
custom, he taught them. 2 Some Pharisees came and tested him
by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" 3 "What
did Moses command you?" he replied. 4They said, "Moses
permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away." 5 "It
was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law," Jesus
replied. 6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made
them male and female.' 7 'For this reason a man will leave his
father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two
will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one. 9 Therefore
what God has joined together, let man not separate." 10 When
they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11 He
answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits
adultery against her. 12 And if she divorces her husband and
marries another man, she commits adultery." 13 People
were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the
disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was
indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do
not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 I
tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a
little child will never enter it." 16 And he took the
children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.17 As
Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him.
"Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal
life?" 18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus
answered. "No one is good--except God alone. 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.' " 20"Teacher,"
he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy." 21 Jesus
looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go,
sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven. Then come, follow me." 22 At this the man's face
fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. 23 Jesus
looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to
enter the kingdom of God!" 24 The disciples were amazed
at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is 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 The
disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be
saved?" 27 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man
this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." 28 Peter
said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!" 29 "I
tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or
brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the
gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this
present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with
them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. 31 But
many who are first will be last, and the last first." 32 They
were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the
disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took
the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33 "We
are going up to Jerusalem," he said, "and the Son of Man will be
betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to
death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock
him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will
rise." 35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came
to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever
we ask." 36 "What do you want me to do for
you?" he asked. 37 They replied, "Let one of us sit
at your right and the other at your left in your glory." 38 "You
don't know what you are asking," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I
drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?" 39 "We
can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I
drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, 40 but
to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those
for whom they have been prepared." 41 When the ten heard
about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus
called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as
rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise
authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever
wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and
whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even
the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as
a ransom for many." 46 Then they came to Jericho. As
Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a
blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the
roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of
Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 48 Many
rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of
David, have mercy on me!"49 Jesus stopped and said, "Call
him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's
calling you." 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to
his feet and came to Jesus. 51 "What do you want me to do
for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to
see." 52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has
healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along
the road.

1 The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.
3 The seas have lifted up, O LORD, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
