On Divorce

1 Soon on His feet once more, He enters the district of Judaea and crosses the Jordan: again the people flock to Him, and ere long, as was usual with Him, He was teaching them once more.

1 (A)Getting up, He *went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds *gathered around Him again, and, (B)according to His custom, He once more began to teach them.

1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

1 He(A) set out from there and went to the region of Judea(B) and across the Jordan.(C) Then crowds converged on Him again and, as He usually did, He began teaching(D) them once more.

1 Then Jesus left that place and went into the territory of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered around him as usual, and he began to teach them again as was his custom.

2 Presently a party of Pharisees come to Him with the question--seeking to entrap Him, "May a man divorce his wife?"

2 Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to (a)divorce a wife.

2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

2 Some Pharisees(E) approached Him to test(F) Him. They asked, “Is it lawful(G) for a man to divorce(H) his wife?”(I)

2 Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

3 "What rule did Moses lay down for you?" He answered.

3 And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”

3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

3 He replied to them, “What did Moses(J) command you?”

3 "What did Moses command you?" he responded.

4 "Moses," they said, "permitted a man to draw up a written notice of divorce, and to send his wife away."

4 They said, “(C)Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and (b)send her away.”

4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

4 They said, “Moses permitted us to write divorce papers(K) and send her away.”(L)

4 They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to divorce her."

5 "It was in consideration of your stubborn hearts," said Jesus, "that Moses enacted this law for you;

5 But Jesus said to them, (c)(D)Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

5 But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.(M)

5 But Jesus told them, "It was because of your hardness of heart that he wrote this command for you.

6 but from the beginning of the creation the rule was, 'Male and female did God make them.

6 But (E)from the beginning of creation, God (F)made them male and female.

6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

6 But from the beginning(N) of creation(O) God(a) made them male and female.(P)(b)

6 But from the beginning of creation, "God made them male and female.'

7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife,

7 (G)For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother(d),

7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

7 For this reason a man will leave(Q)his father and mother[and be joined to his wife],(c)

7 That's why "a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,

8 and the two shall be one'; so that they are two no longer, but 'one.'

8 (H)and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

8 and the two will become one flesh.(R)(d)So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

8 and the two will become one flesh.' So they're no longer two, but one flesh.

9 What, therefore, God has joined together let not man separate."

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

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

9 Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”(S)

9 Therefore, what God has joined together, man must never separate."

10 Indoors the disciples began questioning Jesus again on the same subject.

10 In the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again.

10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

10 Now in the house the disciples questioned Him again about this matter.

10 Back in the house, the disciples asked him about this again.

11 He replied, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman, commits adultery against the first wife;

11 And He *said to them, (I)Whoever (e)divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;

11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

11 And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife(T) and marries(U) another commits adultery(V) against her.

11 So he told them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

12 and if a woman puts away her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

12 and (J)if she herself (f)divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

12 Also, if she divorces her husband(W) and marries another, she commits adultery.”

12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

Little Children Brought To Jesus

13 One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered.

13 (K)And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

13 Some(X) people were bringing little children(Y) to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked(Z) them.

13 Some people were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14 Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, "Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs.

14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; (L)for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

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

14 When Jesus saw it, He was indignant(AA) and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me.(AB) Don’t stop(AC) them, for the kingdom of God(AD) belongs to such as these.

14 When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

15 In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it."

15 Truly I say to you, (M)whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”

15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

15 I assure you:(AE) Whoever does not welcome(e)(AF) the kingdom of God like a little child(AG) will never enter it.”

15 I tell all of you with certainty, whoever doesn't receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it."

16 Then He took them in His arms and blessed them lovingly, one by one, laying His hands upon them.

16 And He (N)took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.

16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

16 After taking them in His arms, He laid His hands on(AH) them and blessed(AI) them.

16 Then after he had hugged the children, he tenderly blessed them as he laid his hands on them.

A Rich Young Man

17 As He went out to resume His journey, there came a man running up to Him, who knelt at His feet and asked, "Good Rabbi, what am I to do in order to inherit the Life of the Ages?"

17 (O)As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and (P)knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to (Q)inherit eternal life?”

17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

17 As(AJ) He was setting out on a journey,(AK) a man ran up, knelt down(AL) before Him, and asked Him, “Good(AM) Teacher,(AN) what must I do to inherit(AO) eternal life?”(AP)

17 As Jesus was setting out again, a man ran up to him, knelt down in front of him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

18 "Why do you call me good?" asked Jesus in reply; "there is no one truly good except One--that is, God.

18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

18 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.(AQ)

18 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him. "Nobody is good except for one God.

19 You know the Commandments--'Do not murder;' 'Do not commit adultery;' 'Do not steal;' 'Do not lie in giving evidence;' 'Do not defraud;' 'Honour thy father and thy mother.'"

19 You know the commandments, ‘(R)Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”

19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

19 You know the commandments:Do not murder;(AR)do not commit adultery;(AS)do not steal;(AT)do not bear false witness;(AU)do not defraud;(AV)honor(AW) your father and mother.(AX)(f)

19 You know the commandments: "Never murder.' "Never commit adultery.' "Never steal.' "Never give false testimony.' "Never cheat.' "Honor your father and mother.'"

20 "Rabbi," he replied, "all these Commandments I have carefully obeyed from my youth."

20 And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept (S)all these things from my youth up.”

20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

20 He said to Him, “Teacher,(AY) I have kept all these from my youth.”

20 The man replied to him, "Teacher, I have obeyed all of these since I was a young man."

21 Then Jesus looked at him and loved him, and said, "One thing is lacking in you: go, sell all you possess and give the proceeds to the poor, and you shall have riches in Heaven; and come and be a follower of mine."

21 Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have (T)treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

21 Then, looking at him, Jesus loved him(AZ) and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor,(BA) and you will have treasure(BB) in heaven.(BC) Then come,(g) follow Me.”(BD)

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him, "You're missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

22 At these words his brow darkened, and he went away sad; for he was possessed of great wealth.

22 But at these words (g)he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.

22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

22 But he was stunned(h) at this demand, and he went away grieving,(BE) because he had many possessions.(BF)

22 Shocked at this statement, the man went away sad, because he had many possessions.

23 Then looking round on His disciples Jesus said, "With how hard a struggle will the possessors of riches enter the Kingdom of God!"

23 And Jesus, looking around, *said to His disciples, (U)How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!”

23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

23 Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth(BG) to enter the kingdom of God!”(BH)

23 Then Jesus looked around and told his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"

24 The disciples were amazed at His words. Jesus, however, said again, "Children, how hard a struggle is it for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God!

24 The disciples (V)were amazed at His words. But Jesus *answered again and *said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

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

24 But the disciples were astonished at His words. Again Jesus said to them, “Children,(BI) how hard it is(i) to enter the kingdom of God!

24 The disciples were startled by these words, but Jesus told them again, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealth to get into 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."

25 (W)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 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich(BJ) person to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 It's easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into the kingdom of God."

26 They were astonished beyond measure, and said to one another, "Who then *can* be saved?"

26 They were even more astonished and said to Him, “(h)Then who can be saved?”

26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

26 So they were even more astonished, saying to one another, “Then who can be saved?”(BK)

26 The disciples were utterly amazed and asked one another, "Then who can be saved?"

27 Jesus looking on them said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for everything is possible with God."

27 Looking at them, Jesus *said, (X)With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”

27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

27 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men it is impossible,(BL) but not with God, because all things are possible with God.”

27 Jesus looked at them intently and said, "For humans it's impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God."

28 "Remember," said Peter to Him, "that we forsook everything and have become your followers."

28 (Y)Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You.”

28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

28 Peter(BM) began to tell Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.”

28 Then Peter began to say to him, "See, we have left everything and followed you."

29 "In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has forsaken house or brothers or sisters, or mother or father, or children or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the Good News,

29 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, (Z)there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,

29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

29 “I assure you,”(BN) Jesus said, “there is no one who has left house, brothers or sisters, mother or father,(j) children, or fields because of Me and the gospel,(BO)

29 Jesus said, "I tell all of you with certainty, there is no one who has left his home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or fields because of me and the gospel

30 but will receive a hundred times as much now in this present life--houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands--and persecution with them--and in the coming age the Life of the Ages.

30 (i)but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in (j)the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in (AA)the age to come, eternal life.

30 But he shall receive an 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.

30 who will not receive 100 times(BP) more, now at this time(BQ)—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions(BR)—and eternal life(BS) in the age to come.(BT)

30 who will not receive a hundred times as much here in this world homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, along with persecution as well as eternal life in the age to come.

31 But many who are now first will be last, and the last, first."

31 But (AB)many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”

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

31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”(BU)

31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first."

Jesus Predicts His Death And Resurrection A Third Time

32 They were still on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were full of wonder, and some, though they followed, did so with fear. Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him.

32 (AC)They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they (AD)were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,

32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,

32 They(BV) were on the road, going up to Jerusalem,(BW) and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were astonished, but those who followed Him were afraid.(BX) Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them the things that would happen to Him.(BY)

32 Now Jesus and his disciples had been on the road going up to Jerusalem, with Jesus walking ahead of them. They were astonished, and the others who followed were afraid.

33 "See," He said, "we are going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and the Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles;

33 saying, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and (AE)the Son of Man will be (k)delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will (l)hand Him over to the Gentiles.

33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

33 “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man(BZ) will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes,(CA) and they will condemn Him to death. Then they will hand Him over to the Gentiles,(CB)

33 Once again, Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. "Pay attention! We're going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the high priests and the scribes, and they'll condemn him to death. Then they'll hand him over to the unbelievers,

34 they will insult Him in cruel sport, spit on Him, scourge Him, and put Him to death; but on the third day He will rise to life again."

34 They will mock Him and (AF)spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”

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

34 and they will mock Him, spit on Him, flog(k) Him, and kill Him, and He will rise(CC) after three days.”(CD)

34 and they'll make fun of him, spit on him, whip him, and kill him. But after three days he'll be raised."

A Request By James And John

35 Then James and John, the sons of Zabdi, came up to Him and said, "Rabbi, we wish you would grant us whatever request we make of you."

35 (m)(AG)James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, *came up to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.”

35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

35 Then(CE) James(CF) and John,(CG) the sons of Zebedee,(CH) approached Him and said, “Teacher,(CI) we want You to do something for us if we ask You.”

35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, went to Jesus and told him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask you."

36 "What would you have me do for you?" He asked.

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

36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

36 “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked them.

36 He asked them, "What do you want me to do for you?"

37 "Allow us," they replied, "to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left hand, in your glory."

37 They said to Him, “(n)Grant that we (AH)may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.”

37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

37 They answered Him, “Allow us to sit at Your right and at Your left in Your glory.”(CJ)

37 They asked him, "Let us sit in your glory, one on your right and one on your left."

38 "You know not," said He, "what you are asking. Are you able to drink out of the cup from which I am to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?"

38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able (AI)to drink the cup that I drink, or (AJ)to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”

38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

38 But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you’re asking.(CK) Are you able to drink the cup(CL) I drink or to be baptized with the baptism(CM) I am baptized with?”(CN)

38 But Jesus told them, "You don't realize what you're asking. Can you drink from the cup that I'm going to drink from or be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized?"

39 "We are able," they replied. "Out of the cup," said Jesus, "from which I am to drink you shall drink, and with the baptism with which I am to be baptized you shall be baptized;

39 They said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink (AK)you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.

39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

39 “We are able,” they told Him.Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with.(CO)

39 They told him, "We can."

40 but as to sitting at my right hand or at my left, that is not mine to give: it will be for those for whom it is reserved."

40 But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; (AL)but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

40 But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to give; instead, it is for those it has been prepared for.”

40 Jesus told them, "You will drink from the cup that I'm going to drink and be baptized with the baptism with which I'm going to be baptized. But it's not up to me to grant you a seat at my right or my left. Those positions have already been prepared for others."

41 The other ten, hearing of it, were at first highly indignant with James and John.

41 (AM)Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with (o)James and John.

41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

41 When the other 10 disciples heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.(CP)

41 When the ten other disciples heard this, they began to be furious with James and John.

42 Jesus, however, called them to Him and said to them, "You are aware how those who are deemed rulers among the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men make them feel their authority;

42 Calling them to Himself, Jesus *said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.

42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

42 Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles dominate(CQ) them, and their men of high positions exercise power over them.

42 Jesus called his disciples and told them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers among the unbelievers lord it over them, and their superiors act like tyrants over them.

43 but it is not to be so among you. No, whoever desires to be great among you must be your servant;

43 But it is not this way among you, (AN)but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;

43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

43 But it must not be like that among you.(CR) On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,(CS)

43 That's not the way it should be among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

44 and whoever desires to be first among you must be the bondservant of all.

44 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.

44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave(CT) to all.

44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to everyone,

45 For the Son of Man also did not come to be waited upon, but to wait on others, and to give His life as the redemption-price for a multitude of people."

45 For even the Son of Man (AO)did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His (p)life a ransom for many.”

45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

45 For even the Son of Man(CU) did not come to be served, but to serve,(CV) and to give His life(CW)—a ransom(CX) for many.”(l)(CY)

45 because even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

A Blind Man Healed At Jericho

46 They came to Jericho; and as He was leaving that town--Himself and His disciples and a great crowd--Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus)

46 (AP)Then they *came to Jericho. And (AQ)as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

46 They(CZ) came to Jericho.(DA) And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind(DB) beggar,(DC) was sitting by the road.(DD)

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus, his disciples, and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (that is, the son of Timaeus) was sitting by the road.

47 Hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, "Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me."

47 When he heard that it was Jesus the (AR)Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, (AS)Son of David, have mercy on me!”

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

47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene,(DE) he began to cry out, “Son of David,(DF) Jesus, have mercy(DG) on me!”(DH)

47 When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was there, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

48 Many angrily told him to leave off shouting; but he only cried out all the louder, "Son of David, have pity on me."

48 Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “(AT)Son of David, have mercy on me!”

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

48 Many people told him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me,(DI) Son of David!”

48 Many people sternly told him to be quiet, but he started shouting even louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

49 Then Jesus stood still. "Call him," He said. So they called the blind man. "Cheer up," they said; "rise, he is calling you."

49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they *called the blind man, saying to him, “(AU)Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you.”

49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage!(DJ) Get up; He’s calling for you.”

49 So Jesus stopped and said, "Call him!"

50 The man flung away his outer garment, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.

50 Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.

50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

50 He threw off his coat,(DK) jumped up, and came to Jesus.

50 So they called the blind man and told him, "Have courage! Get up. He's calling you." He threw off his coat, jumped up, and went to Jesus.

51 "What shall I do for you?" said Jesus. "Rabboni," replied the blind man, "let me recover my sight."

51 And answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “(q)(AV)Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!”

51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

51 Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want(DL) Me to do for you?”“Rabbouni,”(m)(DM) the blind man told Him, “I want to see!”

51 Then Jesus asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man told him, "Rabbouni, I want to see again."

52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has cured you." Instantly he regained his sight, and followed Him along the road.

52 And Jesus said to him, “Go; (AW)your faith has (r)made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

52 “Go your way,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.”(DN) Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.

52 Jesus told him, "Go. Your faith has made you well." At once the man could see again, and he began to follow Jesus down the road.
