Chapter 10

1. Then He arose from there and came to the area of Israel, west of the Jordan River. And people gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again.
2. The High Holies came testing Him, "Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife?"
3. And He answered and said to the, "What rap (1) did Moses focalize to you?"
4. They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a divorce, and to dismiss her (2)."
5. And Jesus answered and said to them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he taught you this rap.
6. "But from the beginning of creation, God 'made you male and female.'
7. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife:
8. "And the two shall become one flesh (3); so then they are no longer two, but one flesh (4).
9. "Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate."
10. And in the lodge His disciples asked Him again about the same matter.
11. So He said to them, "Whosoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12. "And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
13. Then they brought young children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples schwagged those who brought them.
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.
15. "Guaranteed, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, will by no means enter it (5)."
16. And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.
17. Now as He was going out on the trail, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, "High Holy Master, what shall I do that I may gain eternal life?"
18. So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me High Holy? No one is a high holy but God.
19. "You know the raps (6): 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not kill,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not tell lies,' 'Do not scam your bro,' 'Honor your Momma and Poppa.'"
20. And he answered and said to Him, "Master, all things I have observed from my youth."
21. Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell all your gear and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me (7)."
22. But he was sad at this word, and went away, for he had many possessions(8).
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!"
24. And the disciples were blown away 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!
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!"
26. And they were blown away beyond measure, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved."
27. But looking at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
28. Then Rocky began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You."
29. So Jesus answered and said, "Guaranteed, 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 Phat News,
30. "that will 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.
31. "But many who are first will be last, and the last first."
32. Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed. And as the followed they were afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him:
33. Saying, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man (9) will be delivered to the High Holies and to the L.E.O.s and they will deliver Him to death and deliver Him to Babylon:
34. "and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again (10)."
35. Then Jerry and Johnny, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Master, we want You to do for us whatever we ask."
36. And He said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?"
37. They said to Him, "Grant us that we may sit, one on Your right and the other on Your left, in Your glory."
38. But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you ask. Can you drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized (11)?"
39. And they said to Him, We can." And Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized:
40. "But to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared."
41. And when they (the other disciples) heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with Jerry and Johnny.
42. But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers over the Hippies lord it over them, and their high holies exercise authority over them.
43. "Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
44. "And whoever of you desires to be first shall be the servant of all.
45. "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many."
46. Then they came to Moon City (12). And as He went out of Moon city with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bart, the son of Timmy, sat by the road spanging.
47. And when he heard that it was Jesus the Branch (13), he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
48. Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
49. So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you."
50. And throwing aside His garment, he rose and came to Jesus.
51. And Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Master, that I may receive my sight."
52. Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and plugged into Jesus on the road.

1. Rap: Responsibility, communication and consequences. Rap 107 is a mandate for protection of the land. A communication to do what is right and good for the long-term protection of the land and everyone involved. It is what is best for everyone.

2. See Deuteronomy 24:1.
3. One Flesh: Soul ties. Now where God has something really phat, the devil tries to counterfeit it. There is no closer soul tie than a godly marriage. The devil counterfeits this with adultery and fornication. Sex outside of a godly marriage is a gate for spiritual oppression. A person may have an ungodly soul tie with whom they have had sexual relations. We need to break these ungodly soul ties with these people. The spirits that came in when we did these thins must be cast out: "In the name of Jesus, I break every soul tie that is ungodly with persons in my past. I make my soul tie with Jesus and Him alone." Take a deep breath and let it out. "I receive the Holy Spirit in Jesus name." Now take a deep breath.

****For more on deliverance see Frank Marzullo's A Manual for the Deliverance Worker.

4. See Genesis 2:24.
5. Little child. When you come to Jesus you receive the innocence of childhood again. You are white as snow.
6. Raps: This is in reference to the Ten Commandments that Yahweh gave to Moses for the Jewish people to live. Exodus 20.
7. Follow Me: Jesus told the man that if he wanted to be perfect he should break his ties with Babylon, take care of the poor and become a disciples of Jesus. The cross refers to the idea that we must die to self and Babylon and live for God.

8. Many Possessions: This guy was wealthy and he didn't want to give up his Babylonian lifestyle. Jesus made it clear you can not have it both ways. You can not serve two masters. Serve God or serve Babylon.
9. Son of Man: This is a prophetic reference from the Book of Enoch I, Chapter 68:38. "They (angelic hosts) blessed, glorified, and exalted, because the name of the Son of Man was revealed to them." God gave them a sign by which they would know who the Christ would be. He would identify Himself as the Son of Man. The Book of Enoch I is canonized in the Ethiopian Bible and was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It predates the New Testament by over 400 years. It was not canonized in Protestant Bibles. It was quoted by Zechariah, Jesus, Peter and Jude.

****See The Book of Enoch!

10. Jesus had prophesied many times that He would rise from the grave and go to Galilee. See Mark 14:28; Mark 10:34; Isaiah 53:5, 10; Zechariah 13:7; Matthew 26:31; Mark 14:50.
11. Baptism: Jesus is referring to the baptism of crucifixion and death.

12. Moon City is Jericho.
13. Branch is the town of Nazareth: Jesus was a homeboy from this country town 88 miles north of Jerusalem. Nazareth may have been named after the prophecy in Isaiah 11:1 which says, "There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him…"
