Mark 10
1 And he arose from
thence and cometh into the borders of Judaea and
beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto
him again; and, as he was accustomed, he taught them
again. 2 And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked
him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife?
trying him(a). 3 And he answered and said unto
them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said,
Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to
put her away. 5 But Jesus said unto them, For your
hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6 But
from the beginning of the creation, Male and female
made he them. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his
father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; 8 and
the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no
more two, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath
joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in
the house the disciples asked him again of this
matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put
away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery
against her: 12 and if she herself shall put away her
husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.
13 And they were
bringing unto him little children, that he should
touch them: and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But
when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and
said unto them, Suffer the little children to come
unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the
kingdom of God. 15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child, he shall in no wise enter therein. 16 And he
took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his
hands upon them.
17 And as he was
going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and
kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what
shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And
Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is
good but one, [that is] God(b). 19 Thou knowest
the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery,
Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not
defraud, Honor thy father and mother. 20 And he said
unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed
from my youth. 21 And Jesus looking upon him loved
him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go,
sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow
me. 22 But his countenance fell at the saying, and he
went away sorrowful: for he was one that had many
possessions(c).
23 And Jesus looked
round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of
God! 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words.
But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them,
Children, how hard is it to enter into the kingdom
of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through
the needle`s eye, than for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of God(c). 26 And they were
astonished exceedingly, saying to each other,
Then who can be saved? 27 Jesus looking upon them
saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God:
for all things are possible with God. 28 Peter began
to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have
followed thee. 29 Jesus said, Verily I say unto you,
There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or
sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands,
for my sake, and for the gospel`s sake, 30 but he
shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses,
and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children,
and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come
eternal life. 31 But many [that are] first shall be
last; and the last first.
32 And they were on
the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going
before them: and they were amazed; but they that
followed were afraid. And he took again the
twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to
happen unto him, 33 [saying], Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem; and the Son of man(d) shall be
delivered unto the chief priests and to the
scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles: 34 and they
shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall
scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days
he shall rise again.
35 And there come
near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying,
Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us
whatsoever we shall ask of thee. 36 And he said unto
them, What would ye that I should do for you? 37 And
they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one
on thy right hand, and one at the left hand, in thy
glory. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what
ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or
to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized
with? 39 And they said unto him, We are able. And
Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall
drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal
shall ye be baptized: 40 but to sit on my right hand or
left hand is not mine to give(e); but [it
is for them] for whom it hath been prepared. 41 And
when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with
indignation concerning James and John. 42 And Jesus
called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that
they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord
it over them; and their great ones exercise authority
over them. 43 But it is not so among you: but
whosoever would become great among you, shall be your
minister; 44 and whosoever would be first among you,
shall be servant of all. 45 For the Son of man also
came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and
to give his life a ransom for many.
46 And they come to
Jericho: and 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 way
side. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the
Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou
son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many rebuked
him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out
the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy
on me. 49 And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye
him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be
of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee. 50 And he,
casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to
Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt
thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man
said unto him, Rabboni(f), that I may receive
my sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy
faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he
received his sight, and followed him in the way.
Footnotes
(a) Weymouth:
"Presently a party of Pharisees come to Him with the
question--seeking to entrap Him, 'May a man divorce
his wife?'"
(b) Two things are evident in this reply;
first, that he represented himself as a distinct being
from God, and, secondly, that he did not possess the
same degree of goodness. As Vine's says in his
Expository Dictionary of the Bible: "God is
essentially, absolutely and consummately "good," Matt.
19:17; Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19."
This sets God apart from others that are also called
GOOD (Matt. 25:21, Luke 23:50, Acts 11:24 and 1 Pet.
2:18.
That Mark 10:18 should be seen as a rebuke is cemented
two verses later, where the same man THEN refers to
him simply as "Teacher" without the qualifying
"Good.": "Teacher, all these things have I observed
from my youth." Did Jesus correct him here? No. The
man understood then only God is essentially,
absolutely and consummately "good," and that God was
NOT Jesus.
(c) "Then, in the next chapter, a different
rich man, Zacchaeus, declared, 'half of my
possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor,' and he
promised quadruple restitution to anyone he had
cheated. Jesus was delighted with the second man (who
offered only half of what Jesus had asked of the first
man). The difference seems to lie within the men
themselves and not in how much they gave to the poor."

Didn’t Say, by Randy England https://fee.org/articles/jesus-on-wealth-redistribution-what-he-said-and-didnt-say/
(d) JW: "Son of Man bore, in the Hebrew idiom,
a certain sense of humility and tenderness; and it was
necessary, according to the counsels of Heaven, and
for the accomplishment of the great work of human
redemption, that the Messiah should occupy a lowly
condition, and sustain a meek, submissive and
admirable character"-APSLAND: Sermon on the Title, Son
of Man, pp. 15, 16.
(e) Jesus' statement here indicates that the
ultimate authority over who receives positions of
honor in God's kingdom rests solely with the Father,
reinforcing the concept of God's oneness.
(f) "Rabboni" is a more elevated form of the
word "Rabbi," which means "teacher" in Aramaic. The
added "bon" prefix intensifies the meaning to "my
great teacher" or "my master".
Quote: The claim that there are "three persons in the Godhead" is the invention of men whose aim was only to make religion complex, intricate, and mysterious. Jesus never said anything about three persons in the Godhead. If it were true, He was one of the persons and must have known it. He was silent as to the composition of the "Godhead." Every text that might be said to support such a teaching is ambiguous, while there are numerous texts to prove that He believed in one Heavenly Father, one only God!~John S. Hawley
