1 # And <2547> <0> he arose <450> (5631) from thence <2547>, and cometh <2064> (5736) into <1519> the coasts <3725> of Judaea <2449> by <1223> the farther side <4008> of Jordan <2446>: and <2532> the people <3793> resort <4848> (5736) unto <4314> him <846> again <3825>; and <2532>, as <5613> he was wont <1486> (5715), he taught <1321> (5707) them <846> again <3825>.
2 And <2532> the Pharisees <5330> came to him <4334> (5631), and asked <1905> (5656) him <846> , Is it <1487> lawful <1832> (5748) for a man <435> to put away <630> (5658) his wife <1135>? tempting <3985> (5723) him <846>.
3 And <1161> he answered <611> (5679) and said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, What <5101> did Moses <3475> command <1781> (5662) you <5213>?
4 And <1161> they said <2036> (5627), Moses <3475> suffered <2010> (5656) to write <1125> (5658) a bill <975> of divorcement <647>, and <2532> to put her away <630> (5658).
5 And <2532> Jesus <2424> answered <611> (5679) and said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, For <4314> the hardness <4641> <0> of your <5216> heart <4641> he wrote <1125> (5656) you <5213> this <5026> precept <1785>.
6 But <1161> from <575> the beginning <746> of the creation <2937> God <2316> made <4160> (5656) them <846> male <730> and <2532> female <2338>.
7 For this cause <1752> <5127> shall <2641> <0> a man <444> leave <2641> (5692) his <846> father <3962> and <2532> mother <3384>, and <2532> cleave <4347> (5701) to <4314> his <846> wife <1135>;
8 And <2532> they twain <1417> shall be <2071> (5704) one <1519> <3391> flesh <4561>: so then <5620> they are <1526> (5748) no more <3765> twain <1417>, but <235> one <3391> flesh <4561>.
9 What <3739> therefore <3767> God <2316> hath joined together <4801> (5656), let <5563> <0> not <3361> man <444> put asunder <5563> (5720).
10 And <2532> in <1722> the house <3614> his <846> disciples <3101> asked <1905> (5656) him <846> again <3825> of <4012> the same <846> matter.
11 And <2532> he saith <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, Whosoever <3739> <1437> shall put away <630> (5661) his <846> wife <1135>, and <2532> marry <1060> (5661) another <243>, committeth adultery <3429> (5736) against <1909> her <846>.
12 And <2532> if <1437> a woman <1135> shall put away <630> (5661) her <846> husband <435> , and <2532> be married <1060> (5686) to another <243>, she committeth adultery <3429> (5736).
 - ADULTERY
13 # And <2532> they brought <4374> (5707) young children <3813> to him <846>, that <2443> he should touch <680> (5672) them <846>: and <1161> his disciples <3101> rebuked <2008> (5707) those that brought <4374> (5723) them.
14 But <1161> when Jesus <2424> saw <1492> (5631) it, he was much displeased <23> (5656), and <2532> said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Suffer <863> (5628) the little children <3813> to come <2064> (5738) unto <4314> me <3165>, and <2532> forbid <2967> (5720) them <846> not <3361>: for <1063> of such <5108> is <2076> (5748) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
15 Verily <281> I say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>, Whosoever <3739> shall <1209> <0> not <3362> receive <1209> (5667) the kingdom <932> of God <2316> as <5613> a little child <3813>, he shall <1525> <0> not <3364> enter <1525> (5632) therein <1519> <846>.
16 And <2532> he took <1723> <0> them <846> up in his arms <1723> (5666), put <5087> (5723) his hands <5495> upon <1909> them <846>, and blessed <2127> (5707) them <846>.
Touching with the hands is always a sign of blessing. Hands should never be used to hurt or harm but always to bless. Those who have never been touched as an act of love grow up feeling unloved.

17 # And <2532> when he was gone forth <1607> (5740) into <1519> the way <846> <3598>, there came <4370> <0> one <1520> running <4370> (5631), and <2532> kneeled <1120> (5660) to him <846>, and asked <1905> (5707) him <846>, Good <18> Master <1320>, what <5101> shall I do <4160> (5661) that <2443> I may inherit <2816> (5661) eternal <166> life <2222>?
18 And <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, Why <5101> callest thou <3004> (5719) me <3165> good <18>? there is none <3762> good <18> but <1508> one <1520>, that is, God <2316>.
19 Thou knowest <1492> (5758) the commandments <1785>, Do <3431> <0> not <3361> commit adultery <3431> (5661), Do <5407> <0> not <3361> kill <5407> (5661), Do <2813> <0> not <3361> steal <2813> (5661), Do <5576> <0> not <3361> bear false witness <5576> (5661), Defraud <650> (5661) not <3361>, Honour <5091> (5720) thy <4675> father <3962> and <2532> mother <3384>.
20 And <1161> he answered <611> (5679) and said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, Master <1320> , all <3956> these <5023> have I observed <5442> (5668) from <1537> my <3450> youth <3503>.
21 Then <1161> Jesus <2424> beholding <1689> (5660) him <846> loved <25> (5656) him <846>, and <2532> said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, One thing <1520> thou <4671> lackest <5302> (5719) : go thy way <5217> (5720), sell <4453> (5657) whatsoever <3745> thou hast <2192> (5719), and <2532> give <1325> (5628) to the poor <4434>, and <2532> thou shalt have <2192> (5692) treasure <2344> in <1722> heaven <3772>: and <2532> come <1204> (5773), take up <142> (5660) the cross <4716>, and follow <190> (5720) me <3427>.
He had been faithful in what he did not do. Now it needed to lead to action - something he can do.

22 And <1161> he was sad <4768> (5660) at <1909> that saying <3056>, and went away <565> (5627) grieved <3076> (5746): for <1063> he had <2192> (5723) <2258> (5713) great <4183> possessions <2933>.
He saw only the loss involved and not what he would gain by making an investment.

23 And <2532> Jesus <2424> looked round about <4017> (5671), and saith <3004> (5719) unto his <846> disciples <3101>, How <4459> hardly <1423> shall they that have <2192> (5723) riches <5536> enter <1525> (5695) into <1519> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>!
24 And <1161> the disciples <3101> were astonished <2284> (5712) at <1909> his <846> words <3056> . But <1161> Jesus <2424> answereth <611> (5679) again <3825>, and saith <3004> (5719) unto them <846> , Children <5043>, how <4459> hard <1422> is it <2076> (5748) for them that trust <3982> (5756) in <1909> riches <5536> to enter <1525> (5629) into <1519> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>!
25 It is <2076> (5748) easier <2123> for a camel <2574> to go <1525> (5629) (5625) <1330> (5629) through <1223> the eye <5168> of a needle <4476>, than <2228> for a rich man <4145> to enter <1525> (5629) into <1519> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
26 And <1161> they were astonished <1605> (5712) out of measure <4057>, saying <3004> (5723) among <4314> themselves <1438>, <2532> Who <5101> then can <1410> (5736) be saved <4982> (5683)?
27 And <1161> Jesus <2424> looking upon <1689> (5660) them <846> saith <3004> (5719), With <3844> men <444> it is impossible <102>, but <235> not <3756> with <3844> God <2316>: for <1063> with <3844> God <2316> all things <3956> are <2076> (5748) possible <1415>.
 - PROVISION - FINANCIAL
28 Then <2532> Peter <4074> began <756> (5662) to say <3004> (5721) unto him <846>, Lo <2400> (5628), we <2249> have left <863> (5656) all <3956>, and <2532> have followed <190> (5656) thee <4671>.
29 And <1161> Jesus <2424> answered <611> (5679) and said <2036> (5627), Verily <281> I say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>, There is <2076> (5748) no man <3762> that <3739> hath left <863> (5656) house <3614>, or <2228> brethren <80>, or <2228> sisters <79>, or <2228> father <3962>, or <2228> mother <3384>, or <2228> wife <1135>, or <2228> children <5043>, or <2228> lands <68>, for my <1700> sake <1752>, and <2532> the gospel's <2098>,
30 But <3362> he shall receive <2983> (5632) an hundredfold <1542> now <3568> in <1722> this <5129> time <2540>, houses <3614>, and <2532> brethren <80>, and <2532> sisters <79>, and <2532> mothers <3384>, and <2532> children <5043>, and <2532> lands <68>, with <3326> persecutions <1375>; and <2532> in <1722> the world <165> to come <2064> (5740) eternal <166> life <2222>.
We are promised a hundred times back what we sow into the Kingdom of God.
- KAIROS - TIME

31 But <1161> many <4183> that are first <4413> shall be <2071> (5704) last <2078>; and <2532> the last <2078> first <4413>.
32 # And <1161> they were <2258> (5713) in <1722> the way <3598> going up <305> (5723) to <1519> Jerusalem <2414>; and <2532> Jesus <2424> went <2258> (5713) before <4254> (5723) them <846>: and <2532> they were amazed <2284> (5712); and <2532> as they followed <190> (5723), they were afraid <5399> (5711). And <2532> he took <3880> (5631) again <3825> the twelve <1427>, and began <756> (5662) to tell <3004> (5721) them <846> what things should <3195> (5723) happen <4819> (5721) unto him <846> ,
They were afraid because of the danger, but He did not hold back - He was ready to pay the price.

33 Saying, <3754> Behold <2400> (5628), we go up <305> (5719) to <1519> Jerusalem <2414> ; and <2532> the Son <5207> of man <444> shall be delivered <3860> (5701) unto the chief priests <749>, and <2532> unto the scribes <1122>; and <2532> they shall condemn <2632> (5692) him <846> to death <2288>, and <2532> shall deliver <3860> (5692) him <846> to the Gentiles <1484>:
34 And <2532> they shall mock <1702> (5692) him <846>, and <2532> shall scourge <3146> (5692) him <846>, and <2532> shall spit upon <1716> (5692) him <846>, and <2532> shall kill <615> (5692) him <846>: and <2532> the third <5154> day <2250> he shall rise again <450> (5698).
35 And <2532> James <2385> and <2532> John <2491>, the sons <5207> of Zebedee <2199>, come <4365> (5736) unto him <846>, saying <3004> (5723), Master <1320>, we would <2309> (5719) that <2443> thou shouldest do <4160> (5661) for us <2254> whatsoever <3739> <1437> we shall desire <154> (5661).
36 And <1161> he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, What <5101> would <2309> (5719) ye that I <3165> should do <4160> (5658) for you <5213>?
37 <1161> They said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, Grant <1325> (5628) unto us <2254> that <2443> we may sit <2523> (5661), one <1520> on <1537> thy <4675> right hand <1188>, and <2532> the other <1520> on <1537> thy <4675> left hand <2176>, in <1722> thy <4675> glory <1391>.
38 But <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Ye know <1492> (5758) not <3756> what <5101> ye ask <154> (5731): can ye <1410> (5736) drink <4095> (5629) of the cup <4221> that <3739> I <1473> drink of <4095> (5719)? and <2532> be baptized <907> (5743) with the baptism <908> that <3739> I <1473> am baptized with <907> (5683)?
 - BAPTISM OF SUFFERING
39 And <1161> they said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, We can <1410> (5736). And <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>, Ye shall <4095> <0> indeed <3303> drink <4095> (5719) of the cup <4221> that <3739> I <1473> drink of <4095> (5695); and <2532> with the baptism <908> that <3739> I <1473> am baptized withal <907> (5743) shall ye be baptized <907> (5701):
The baptism Jesus referred to is known as the Baptism of Suffering, which every believer faces as a result of their commitment.

40 But <1161> to sit <2523> (5658) on <1537> my <3450> right hand <1188> and <2532> on <1537> my <3450> left hand <2176> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> mine <1699> to give <1325> (5629) ; but <235> it shall be given to them for whom <3739> it is prepared <2090> (5769).
41 And <2532> when the ten <1176> heard <191> (5660) it, they began <756> (5662) to be much displeased <23> (5721) with <4012> James <2385> and <2532> John <2491>.
42 But <1161> Jesus <2424> called <4341> (5666) them <846> to him, and saith <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, Ye know <1492> (5758) that <3754> they which are accounted <1380> (5723) to rule <757> (5721) over the Gentiles <1484> exercise lordship <2634> (5719) over them <846>; and <2532> their <846> great ones <3173> exercise authority <2715> (5719) upon them <846>.
43 But <1161> so <3779> shall it <2071> <0> not <3756> be <2071> (5704) among <1722> you <5213>: but <235> whosoever <3739> <1437> will <2309> (5725) be <1096> (5635) great <3173> among <1722> you <5213>, shall be <2071> (5704) your <5216> minister <1249>:
44 And <2532> whosoever <3739> <302> of you <5216> will <2309> (5725) be <1096> (5635) the chiefest <4413>, shall be <2071> (5704) servant <1401> of all <3956>.
45 For <1063> even <2532> the Son <5207> of man <444> came <2064> (5627) not <3756> to be ministered unto <1247> (5683), but <235> to minister <1247> (5658), and <2532> to give <1325> (5629) his <846> life <5590> a ransom <3083> for <473> many <4183>.

46 # And <2532> they came <2064> (5736) to <1519> Jericho <2410>: and <2532> as he <846> went <1607> (5740) out of <575> Jericho <2410> with <2532> his <846> disciples <3101> and <2532> a great <2425> number of people <3793>, blind <5185> Bartimaeus <924>, the son <5207> of Timaeus <5090>, sat <2521> (5711) by <3844> the highway side <3598> begging <4319> (5723).

47 And <2532> when he heard <191> (5660) that <3754> it was <2076> (5748) Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3480>, he began <756> (5662) to cry out <2896> (5721), and <2532> say <3004> (5721), Jesus <2424>, thou Son <5207> of David <1138>, have mercy <1653> (5657) on me <3165>.
48 And <2532> many <4183> charged <2008> (5707) him <846> that <2443> he should hold his peace <4623> (5661): but <1161> he cried <2896> (5707) the more <3123> a great deal <4183>, Thou Son <5207> of David <1138>, have mercy <1653> (5657) on me <3165>.
49 And <2532> Jesus <2424> stood still <2476> (5631), and commanded <2036> (5627) him <846> to be called <5455> (5683). And <2532> they call <5455> (5719) the blind man <5185>, saying <3004> (5723) unto him <846>, Be of good comfort <2293> (5720), rise <1453> (5669); he calleth <5455> (5719) thee <4571>.
50 And <1161> he, casting away <577> (5631) his <846> garment <2440>, rose <450> (5631) , and came <2064> (5627) to <4314> Jesus <2424>.
We often carry bad mantles that hold us back and identify us wrongly. In this event we see a picture of throwing away the old bad mantle and coming to Jesus for blessing.
- BAD MANTLES

51 And <2532> Jesus <2424> answered <611> (5679) and said <3004> (5719) unto him <846>, What <5101> wilt <2309> (5719) thou that I should do <4160> (5661) unto thee <4671>? <1161> The blind man <5185> said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, Lord <4462>, that <2443> I might receive my sight <308> (5661).
Jesus always asked people what they wanted. He never imposes His will on us or acts on an obvious need. He wants us to ask Him first.

52 And <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036> (5627) unto him <846>, Go thy way <5217> (5720); thy <4675> faith <4102> hath made <4982> <0> thee <4571> whole <4982> (5758). And <2532> immediately <2112> he received his sight <308> (5656), and <2532> followed <190> (5707) Jesus <2424> in <1722> the way <3598>.
He could have asked for money. But he showed he believed Jesus could heal him and this faith brought his healing.
