Mark 10

1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa by
ℵB ⟨and⟩
 the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
2 And the
BA omit
 Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
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 And Jesus answered and
ℵB omit
 said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God
ℵB ⟨he⟩
 made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother
ℵ ⟨his mother⟩
, and cleave to his wife
ℵB omit
;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house his
ℵB ⟨the⟩
 disciples asked him again of the same matter
ℵBA ⟨this matter⟩
.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman
ℵB ⟨she⟩
 shall put away her husband, and be married to
ℵB ⟨marry⟩
 another, she committeth adultery.
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his
ℵBA ⟨the⟩
 disciples rebuked those that brought them
ℵB ⟨them⟩
.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and
B omit
 forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them
ℵB ⟨and blessed them, and put his hands upon them⟩
.
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one
A ⟨behold, a certain rich man came⟩
 running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill
ℵ* omit ⟨Do not commit adultery⟩; ℵ2 ⟨Do not kill, Do not commit adultery⟩
, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not,
B* omit
 Honour thy father and mother
ℵ* ⟨thy mother⟩
.
20 And he answered and
ℵ omit
 said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21 Then Jesus
A ⟨he⟩
 beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One
ℵ ⟨Yet 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,
ℵB omit
 and follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith
ℵ ⟨said⟩
 unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again
A ⟨he answereth⟩
, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches
ℵB omit
 to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go
ℵBA ⟨enter⟩
 through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves
ℵB ⟨unto him⟩
, Who then can be saved?
27 And
ℵB omit
 Jesus looking upon them saith
ℵ* ⟨said⟩
, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Then
ℵBA omit
 Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
ℵ ⟨followed thee, what shall we have therefore?⟩
29 And Jesus answered and said
ℵ ⟨Jesus said unto him⟩; B ⟨Jesus said⟩
, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother
B ⟨or mother, or father⟩
, or wife,
ℵB omit
 or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's
ℵ* ⟨the gospel⟩
,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions
ℵ* omit; ℵ2A substitute ⟨mother⟩ for ⟨mothers⟩
; 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 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,
33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes
ℵ* omit
; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him
ℵB ⟨and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him⟩
, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
35 And James and John, the sons
B ⟨two sons⟩
 of Zebedee, come unto him, saying
ℵ ⟨saying unto him⟩
, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
ℵ2B substitute ⟨ask of thee⟩ for ⟨desire⟩; ℵ* omit
36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
ℵ* omit
37 They said unto him, Grant unto us
ℵ* omit
 that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and
ℵB ⟨or⟩
 be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed
ℵB omit
 drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40 But to sit on my right hand and
ℵB ⟨or⟩
 on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared
ℵ ⟨prepared of my Father⟩
.
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be
A ⟨were⟩
 much displeased with James and John
A ⟨the two brethren⟩
.
42 But
ℵB ⟨And⟩
 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
ℵ ⟨the kings⟩
 exercise authority upon them.
43 But so shall it not be
ℵ ⟨is it not⟩
 among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 And whosoever of
ℵB ⟨among⟩
 you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
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.
46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus
ℵ ⟨Bartimæus, the Son of Timæus, blind and a beggar⟩; B ⟨Bartimæus, the Son of Timæus, a blind beggar⟩
, sat by the highway side begging.
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.
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.
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called
ℵB ⟨and commanded, Call him⟩
. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose
ℵB ⟨sprang up⟩
, and came to Jesus.
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.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus
ℵBA ⟨him⟩
 in the way.

About the Pointing

The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
