¹ Nah Jesus lef' dat place an' did gone ova ta Judea, an' ta one place jus' eas' uh da Jordon River. One bunch uh people was waitin' on Him. An' He start teachin' dem cuz dis was sometin' He usta doin'.

² Da Pharisee dem did come ta Jesus ta tes' Him an' dey did wan know, "Is it okay fa a man ta leave he wife?" ³ Den Jesus aks dem, "What Moses had ta say bout it?" ⁴ An' da Pharisee dem say, "He say das okay fa a man ta gee he wife legal papers an' tell her ta go." ⁵ "Moses realize dat some man dem head hard, so he let dem do it," Jesus say ta dem.

⁶ "From da beginnin' of time when God made dis earth, 'God made dem man an' woman.' ⁷ 'Cause a dis, a man leave he ma an' pa ta get marrid ta he wife, ⁸ an' dey become one.' Dey een two no more, dey is one. ⁹ So what God put togedda, een no one should try ta break dem up.

¹⁰ While dey was in da house, da disciples aks Jesus bout dis again. ¹¹ He say, "If a man leave he wife an' marry again, it ga be jus' like he sweetheartin' on her. ¹² An' if a women leave her husband an' marry again, it ga be jus' like she sweetheartin', too.

¹³ Den dey bring da lil chirren ta him so He cud lay hands on dem, but da disciples start ta shoo dem away. ¹⁴ An' when Jesus see dis, He get mad an' say, "Let da chirren dem come ta me an' don' stop dem, cuz God kingdom include people like dem. ¹⁵ Ta be truteful, anyone who don' receive da kingdom like a chile een gettin' in it." ¹⁶ Afta sayin' dat, He take da chirren dem in he arm, lay hands on dem an' bless dem.

¹⁷ Wen Jesus gone on one nex' trip, a man run up ta Him, kneeling down, aksin' him, "Good teacher, what I haveta do so I cud live foreva?" ¹⁸ Jesus say, "Why you callin' me good? Da only person who good is God. ¹⁹ You know da commandments: 'Ya shouldn' murda, ya shouldn' t'ief, ya shouldn' be sweetheartin', ya shouldn' be lyin', ya shouldn' be foolin' nobody, an' ya should be givin' respect ta ya mudda an' fadda." ²⁰ But da man say, "Teacha, I been doin' des tings since I was a lil boy." ²¹ Jesus look at him an' love him fa dat. He say, "Only one ting you een do. Ya gatta sell all ya have an' gee it ta da poor, an' you ga have treasure in heaven. Den come follow me." ²² But cuz uh what Jesus say, da man did look sad sad an leave lil down cuz he had plenty tings.

²³ Jesus look at he disciples an' say, "How hard it is fa dem rich people ta get inta da Kingdom uh God!" ²⁴ Da disciple dem was shock at what Jesus say ta dem. But Jesus say ta dem again, "Chirren, how hard it is ta enter da Kingdom of God! ²⁵ It easier fa a camel ta go tru da eye uh a needle dan fa a rich man ta enter da Kingdom uh God."

²⁶ Dey was shock an' say ta one anudda, "Den who cud be save?" ²⁷ Jesus look at dem an say, "Wit people it een possible, but not wit God. All tings possible wit God." ²⁸ Peter begin ta talk ta Him, "Look, we leave erryting behin' an' follow you!" ²⁹ Jesus say, "Listen, I tellin' you, een no one who leave dey house or dey brudda an' sista dem or mudda an' fadda or chirren or dey land fa my sake an' da gospel

³⁰ who een ga get a hundred times more in dis life: houses an' bruddas an' sistas an' muddas an' chirren an' property, along wit da bad treatment, an' in da worl' ta come, eternal life. ³¹ But plenty uh dem who firs' ga be last, an' da last ga be firs'."

³² Dey was on da road goin' up ta Jerusalem, an' Jesus was goin' ahead uh dem. Da disciples was shock, an' dem who was followin' behind dem was scared. Den Jesus take da twelve on da side again an' begin ta tell dem what ga soon happen ta Him. ³³ "See, we goin' up ta Jerusalem, an' da Son uh Man ga be given ta da chief priests an' da scribes. Dey ga sentence him ta death an' gee him ta da Gentiles. ³⁴ Dey ga tease him, spit on him, beat him, an' put him ta deat. But, afta tree days, He ga raise up."

³⁵ Zebedee two sons, James an' John, come up ta him an' say, "Teacha, we wan' you ta do fa us whatever we aks you." ³⁶ He say ta dem, "Watchu wan' me ta do fa ya?" ³⁷ Dey say, "Let us sit wit you wen you rule in ya kingdom, one at da right hand an' da udda at da lef'." ³⁸ But Jesus say ta dem, "You een know what you aksin'. You ga be able ta drink da same cuppa sufferin' dat I drink or be baptized wit da same baptism uh sufferin' I ga be baptized wit'?" ³⁹ Dey say ta him, "We could." Jesus say ta dem, "Da cup dat I ga drink, you ga drink, an' wit da baptism dat I ga be baptize wit, you ga be baptize wit.

⁴⁰ It een me who ga say who ga sit at my right hand or my lef' hand, but who God say it ga be fa." ⁴¹ Wen da udda ten disciples hear bout dis, dey start ta get mad wit James an' John.

⁴² Jesus call dem ta hesef an' say, "Yall know da people who da Gentiles tink is rule dem is dominate dem, an' da high officials is use dey autority on them." ⁴³ But it een dis way wit yall. Whicheva one uh yall wan be great gotta be a servant, ⁴⁴ an' whicheva one uh yall wan be firs' gotta be a slave ta all uh you. ⁴⁵ Fa da Son uh Man een come fa people ta serve him, but ta serve people an' gee he life ta pay fa many."

⁴⁶ Dey come ta Jericho. As he leave Jericho wit he disciples an' a big crowd, da son uh Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind begga was sittin' by da road. ⁴⁷ When he hear dat it was Jesus from Nazareth, he start hollorin' an' say, "Jesus, Son uh David, have mercy on me!" ⁴⁸ Plenty people start rowin' da blind man, tellin' him ta shut up. But, he holla even louda dan before, "Son uh David, have mercy on me!"

⁴⁹ Jesus stop an' tell dem, "Call him ova here". Dey call da blin' man, sayin', "Be brave! Get up! He callin' fa you." ⁵⁰ So Bartimaeus trow his coat on da side, jump up, an' gone ta Jesus. ⁵¹ Jesus ansa him an' say, "Watchu wan me do fa you?" Da blind man say, "Teacha, I wan' see." ⁵² Den Jesus say ta him, "Go. Ya fait done heal you." Right afta, he cudda see again an' da man wasn' blin no more an' follow Jesus on da road.
