Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Mark by R F Weymouth
page 30 of 53 (56%)
`Male and female did God make them.
010:007 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother,
and shall cling to his wife,
010:008 and the two shall be one'; so that they are two no longer, but `one.'
010:009 What, therefore, God has joined together let not man separate."
010:010 Indoors the disciples began questioning Jesus again on
the same subject.
010:011 He replied, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman,
commits adultery against the first wife;
010:012 and if a woman puts away her husband and marries another man,
she commits adultery."
010:013 One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him
to touch them, but the disciples interfered.
010:014 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.
010:015 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."
010:016 Then He took them in His arms and blessed them lovingly,
one by one, laying His hands upon them.
010:017 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?"
010:018 "Why do you call me good?" asked Jesus in reply; "there is no
one truly good except One--that is, God.
010:019 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.'"
