Mark.10.13

The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them.

Mark.10.13

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

Mark.10.13

Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

Mark.10.13

One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch them and bless them, but the disciples told them not to bother him.

Mark.10.14

The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: "Don't push these children away. Don't ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom.

Mark.10.14

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.

Mark.10.14

But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

Mark.10.14

But when Jesus saw what was happening, he was very displeased with his disciples. He said to them, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Mark.10.15

Mark this: Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in."

Mark.10.15

I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

Mark.10.15

Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."

Mark.10.15

I assure you, anyone who doesn't have their kind of faith will never get into the Kingdom of God."

Mark.10.16

Then, gathering the children up in his arms, he laid his hands of blessing on them.

Mark.10.16

And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

Mark.10.16

And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

Mark.10.16

Then he took the children into his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.

Mark.10.17

As he went out into the street, a man came running up, greeted him with great reverence, and asked, "Good Teacher, what must I do to get eternal life?"

Mark.10.17

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?"

Mark.10.17

Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"

Mark.10.17

As he was starting out on a trip, a man came running up to Jesus, knelt down, and asked, "Good Teacher, what should I do to get eternal life?"

Mark.10.18

Jesus said, "Why are you calling me good? No one is good, only God.

Mark.10.18

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.

Mark.10.18

So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

Mark.10.18

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked. "Only God is truly good.

Mark.10.19

You know the commandments: Don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't lie, don't cheat, honor your father and mother."

Mark.10.19

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.'"

Mark.10.19

You know the commandments: "Do not commit adultery,' "Do not murder,' "Do not steal,' "Do not bear false witness,' "Do not defraud,' "Honor your father and your mother."'

Mark.10.19

But as for your question, you know the commandments: 'Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not testify falsely. Do not cheat. Honor your father and mother.'"

Mark.10.20

He said, "Teacher, I have--from my youth--kept them all!"

Mark.10.20

"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."

Mark.10.20

And he answered and said to Him, "Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth."

Mark.10.20

"Teacher," the man replied, "I've obeyed all these commandments since I was a child."

Mark.10.21

Jesus looked him hard in the eye--and loved him! He said, "There's one thing left: Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow me."

Mark.10.21

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."

Mark.10.21

Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me."

Mark.10.21

Jesus felt genuine love for this man as he looked at him. "You lack only one thing," he told him. "Go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Mark.10.22

The man's face clouded over. This was the last thing he expected to hear, and he walked off with a heavy heart. He was holding on tight to a lot of things, and not about to let go.

Mark.10.22

At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

Mark.10.22

But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Mark.10.22

At this, the man's face fell, and he went sadly away because he had many possessions.

Mark.10.23

Looking at his disciples, Jesus said, "Do you have any idea how difficult it is for people who "have it all' to enter God's kingdom?"

Mark.10.23

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!"

Mark.10.23

Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!"

Mark.10.23

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for rich people to get into the Kingdom of God!"

Mark.10.24

The disciples couldn't believe what they were hearing, but Jesus kept on: "You can't imagine how difficult.

Mark.10.24

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

Mark.10.24

And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

Mark.10.24

This amazed them. But Jesus said again, "Dear children, it is very hard to get into the Kingdom of God.

Mark.10.25

I'd say it's easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for the rich to get into God's kingdom."

Mark.10.25

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."

Mark.10.25

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."

Mark.10.25

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!"

Mark.10.26

That set the disciples back on their heels. "Then who has any chance at all?" they asked.

Mark.10.26

The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?"

Mark.10.26

And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?"

Mark.10.26

The disciples were astounded. "Then who in the world can be saved?" they asked.

Mark.10.27

Jesus was blunt: "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it."

Mark.10.27

Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

Mark.10.27

But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."

Mark.10.27

Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God."

Mark.10.28

Peter tried another angle: "We left everything and followed you."

Mark.10.28

Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!"

Mark.10.28

Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You."

Mark.10.28

Then Peter began to mention all that he and the other disciples had left behind. "We've given up everything to follow you," he said.

Mark.10.29

Jesus said, "Mark my words, no one who sacrifices house, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, land--whatever-because of me and the Message

Mark.10.29

"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

Mark.10.29

So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's,

Mark.10.29

And Jesus replied, "I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News,

Mark.10.30

will lose out. They'll get it all back, but multiplied many times in homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land--but also in troubles. And then the bonus of eternal life!

Mark.10.30

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.

Mark.10.30

who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life.

Mark.10.30

will receive now in return, a hundred times over, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property--with persecutions. And in the world to come they will have eternal life.

Mark.10.31

This is once again the Great Reversal: Many who are first will end up last, and the last first."

Mark.10.31

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

Mark.10.31

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

Mark.10.31

But many who seem to be important now will be the least important then, and those who are considered least here will be the greatest then. "
