Marcos 10: Jesús enseña sobre el divorcio.
1 Y PARTIENDOSE de allí, vino á los términos de Judea y tras el Jordán: y volvió el pueblo á juntarse á él; y de nuevo les enseñaba como solía.
2 Y llegándose los Fariseos, le preguntaron, para tentarle, si era lícito al marido repudiar á su mujer.
3 Mas él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿Qué os mandó Moisés?
4 Y ellos dijeron: Moisés permitió escribir carta de divorcio, y repudiar.
5 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón os escribió este mandamiento;
6 Pero al principio de la creación, varón y hembra los hizo Dios.
7 Por esto dejará el hombre á su padre y á su madre, y se juntará á su mujer.
8 Y los que eran dos, serán hechos una carne: así que no son más dos, sino una carne.
9 Pues lo que Dios juntó, no lo aparte el hombre.
10 Y en casa volvieron los discípulos á preguntarle de lo mismo.
11 Y les dice: Cualquiera que repudiare á su mujer, y se casare con otra, comete adulterio contra ella:
12 Y si la mujer repudiare á su marido y se casare con otro, comete adulterio.
13 Y le presentaban niños para que los tocase; y los discípulos reñían á los que los presentaban.
14 Y viéndolo Jesús, se enojó, y les dijo: Dejad los niños venir, y no se lo estorbéis; porque de los tales es el reino de Dios.
15 De cierto os digo, que el que no recibiere el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él.
16 Y tomándolos en los brazos, poniendo las manos sobre ellos, los bendecía.
17 Y saliendo él para ir su camino, vino uno corriendo, é hincando la rodilla delante de él, le preguntó: Maestro bueno, ¿qué haré para poseer la vida eterna?
18 Y Jesús le dijo: ¿Por qué me dices bueno? Ninguno hay bueno, sino sólo uno, Dios.
19 Los mandamientos sabes: No adulteres: No mates: No hurtes: No digas falso testimonio: No defraudes: Honra á tu padre y á tu madre.
20 El entonces respondiendo, le dijo: Maestro, todo esto he guardado desde mi mocedad.
21 Entonces Jesús mirándole, amóle, y díjole: Una cosa te falta: ve, vende todo lo que tienes, y da á los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; y ven, sígueme, tomando tu cruz.
22 Mas él, entristecido por esta palabra, se fué triste, porque tenía muchas posesiones.
23 Entonces Jesús, mirando alrededor, dice á sus discípulos: Cuán dificilmente entrarán en el reino de Dios los que tienen riquezas!
24 Y los discípulos se espantaron de sus palabras; mas Jesús respondiendo, les volvió á decir: Hijos, cuán dificil es entrar en el reino de Dios, los que confían en las riquezas!
25 Más fácil es pasar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que el rico entrar en el reino de Dios.
26 Y ellos se espantaban más, diciendo dentro de sí: ¿Y quién podrá salvarse?
27 Entonces Jesús mirándolos, dice: Para los hombres es imposible; mas para Dios, no; porque todas las cosas son posibles para Dios.
28 Entonces Pedro comenzó á decirle: He aquí, nosotros hemos dejado todas las cosas, y te hemos seguido.
29 Y respondiendo Jesús, dijo: De cierto os digo, que no hay ninguno que haya dejado casa, ó hermanos, ó hermanas, ó padre, ó madre, ó mujer, ó hijos, ó heredades, por causa de mí y del evangelio,
30 Que no reciba cien tantos ahora en este tiempo, casas, y hermanos, y hermanas, y madres, é hijos, y heredades, con persecuciones; y en el siglo venidero la vida eterna.
31 Empero muchos primeros serán postreros, y postreros primeros.
32 Y estaban en el camino subiendo á Jerusalem; y Jesús iba delante de ellos, y se espantaban, y le seguían con miedo: entonces volviendo á tomar á los doce aparte, les comenzó á decir las cosas que le habían de acontecer:
33 He aquí subimos á Jerusalem, y el Hijo del hombre será entregado á los principes de los sacerdotes, y á los escribas, y le condenarán á muerte, y le entregarán á los Gentiles:
34 Y le escarnecerán, y le azotarán, y escupirán en él, y le matarán; mas al tercer día resucitará.
35 Entonces Jacobo y Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, se llegaron á él, diciendo: Maestro, querríamos que nos hagas lo que pidiéremos.
36 Y él les dijo: ¿Qué queréis que os haga?
37 Y ellos le dijeron: Danos que en tu gloria nos sentemos el uno á tu diestra, y el otro á tu siniestra.
38 Entonces Jesús les dijo: No sabéis lo que pedís. ¿Podéis beber del vaso que yo bebo, ó ser bautizados del bautismo de que yo soy bautizado?
39 Y ellos dijeron: Podemos. Y Jesús les dijo: A la verdad, del vaso que yo bebo, beberéis; y del bautismo de que soy bautizado, seréis bautizados.
40 Mas que os sentéis á mi diestra y á mi siniestra, no es mío darlo, sino á quienes está aparejado.
41 Y como lo oyeron los diez, comenzaron á enojarse de Jacobo y de Juan.
42 Mas Jesús, llamándolos, les dice: Sabéis que los que se ven ser príncipes entre las gentes, se enseñorean de ellas, y los que entre ellas son grandes, tienen sobre ellas potestad.
43 Mas no será así entre vosotros: antes cualquiera que quisiere hacerse grande entre vosotros, será vuestro servidor;
44 Y cualquiera de vosotros que quisiere hacerse el primero, será siervo de todos.
45 Porque el Hijo del hombre tampoco vino para ser servido, mas para servir, y dar su vida en rescate por muchos.
46 Entonces vienen á Jericó: y saliendo él de Jericó y sus discípulos y una gran compañía, Bartimeo el ciego, hijo de Timeo, estaba sentado junto al camino mendigando.
47 Y oyendo que era Jesús el Nazareno, comenzó á dar voces y decir: Jesús, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí.
48 Y muchos le reñían, que callase: mas él daba mayores voces: Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí.
49 Entonces Jesús parándose, mandó llamarle: y llaman al ciego, diciéndole: Ten confianza: levántate, te llama.
50 El entonces, echando su capa, se levantó, y vino á Jesús.
51 Y respondiendo Jesús, le dice: ¿Qué quieres que te haga? Y el ciego le dice: Maestro, que cobre la vista.
52 Y Jesús le dijo: Ve, tu fe te ha salvado. Y luego cobró la vista, y seguía á Jesús en el camino.
Reflexión por Noemi Dominguez:
“Lo único peor que ser ciego es tener vista pero no visión”. [Helen Keller]. La cultura de hoy, como quienes rodeaban a Bartimeo, no nos anima a ir a Jesús. El capítulo de hoy termina con el obstinado clamor de un hombre cuyos ojos no ven pero sus oídos oyeron de Jesús y sabía que era el momento que había esperado toda su vida. Quizás luchó con su propia timidez, con las voces internas que como las externas le decían que callara. Ninguna de esas voces lo acallaron, al contrario, él clamaba mucho mas. “Muchos lo reprendían para que se callara, pero él se puso a gritar aún más: —¡Hijo de David, ten compasión de mí! Jesús se detuvo y dijo: —Llámenlo. Así que llamaron al ciego. —¡Ánimo! —le dijeron—. ¡Levántate! Te llama. El ciego no lo pensó dos veces, “… arrojando la capa, dio un salto y se acercó a Jesús” [versículo 50, Nueva Version Internacional]. Con nuevos ojos ahora que ve puede seguir a Jesus; y siguiéndole, sin duda ve las necesidades de otros, de los que sufren de otras enfermedades, de los que lloran, de quienes sufren de soledad y de quienes tienen hambre. Aumenta mi visión y líbrame de estar ciega y no ver a quienes necesitan de Ti. “. “Visión no es solo tener una imagen de lo que podría ser; es una motivación a mejorar; un llamado a convertirnos en algo más [y en alguien mejor].” [Rosabeth Moss Kanter].
Mark 10: Marriage and Divorce.
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.
2 And the 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 said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
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 disciples asked him again of the same 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 shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
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.
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.
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?
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, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
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.
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 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, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches 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 man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
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,
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.
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; 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, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
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.
36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
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.
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?
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:
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.
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
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.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 And whosoever of 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 Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, 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. 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, 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 in the way.
Reflexion by Noemi Dominguez:
“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but not vision.” [Helen Keller]. Today’s culture, like those around Bartimaeus, does not encourage us to go to Jesus. Today’s chapter ends with the stubborn cry of a man whose eyes do not see but his ears heard of Jesus and knew that it was the moment he had waited for all his life. Perhaps he struggled with his own shyness, with the inner voices that just like the external ones told him to shut up. None of those voices could silenced him, on the contrary, he cried out all the more. Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.””Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni (my Master), let me regain my sight.” 52 Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith [and confident trust in My power] has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Jesus on the road.s” [verse 50, New International Version]. With sight now that he realizes that he can follow Jesus; and by following him, he certainly sees the needs of others, of those who suffer from other diseases, of those who mourn, of those who suffer from loneliness and of those who are hungry. Increase my vision and keep me from being blind and not seeing those who need You. “. “A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more. ” [Rosabeth Moss Kanter].
