And it came to pass
, that when
Jesus
had finished
these
sayings
, he departed
from
Galilee
, and
came
into
the coasts
of Judaea
beyond
Jordan
;
And great
multitudes
followed
him
; and
he healed
them
there
.
The Pharisees also
came
unto him
, tempting
him
, and
saying
unto him
, Is it lawful
for a man
to put away
his
wife
for
every
cause
?
And he answered
and said
unto them
, Have ye
not
read
, that
he which
made
them at
the beginning
made
them
male
and
female
,
And said
, For this
cause
shall a man
leave
father
and
mother
, and
shall cleave
to his
wife
: and
they twain
shall be
one
flesh
?
Wherefore they are
no more
twain
, but
one
flesh
. What
therefore
God
hath joined together
, let
not
man
put asunder
.
They say unto him
, Why
did Moses
then
command
to give
a writing
of divorcement
, and
to put
her
away
?
He saith unto them
,
Moses
because of
the hardness
of your
hearts
suffered
you
to put away
your
wives
: but
from
the beginning
it was
not
so
.
And I say
unto you
,
Whosoever
shall put away
his
wife
, except
it be for
fornication
, and
shall marry
another
, committeth adultery
: and
whoso marrieth
her which
is put away
doth commit adultery
.
His disciples
say
unto him
, If
the case
of the man
be
so
with
his wife
, it is
not
good
to marry
.
But he said
unto them
, All
men cannot
receive
this
saying
, save
they to whom
it is given
.
For there are
some eunuchs
, which
were so
born
from
their mother's
womb
: and
there are
some eunuchs
, which
were made eunuchs
of
men
: and
there be
eunuchs
, which
have made
themselves
eunuchs
for
the kingdom
of heaven's sake
. He that is able
to receive
it , let him receive
it .
Then were there brought
unto him
little children
, that
he should put
his hands
on
them
, and
pray
: and
the disciples
rebuked
them
.
But Jesus
said
, Suffer
little children
, and
forbid
them
not
, to come
unto
me
: for
of such
is
the kingdom
of heaven
.
And he laid
his hands
on
them
, and departed
thence
.
And, behold
, one
came
and said
unto him
, Good
Master
, what
good thing
shall I do
, that
I may have
eternal
life
?
And he said
unto him
, Why
callest thou
me
good
? there is none
good
but
one
, that is , God
: but
if
thou wilt
enter
into
life
, keep
the commandments
.
He saith unto him
, Which
?
Jesus
said
, Thou shalt do
no
murder
, Thou shalt
not
commit adultery
, Thou shalt
not
steal
, Thou shalt
not
bear false witness
,
Honour thy
father
and
thy mother
: and
, Thou shalt love
thy
neighbour
as
thyself
.
The young man saith
unto him
, All
these things
have I kept
from
my
youth up
: what
lack
I yet
?
Jesus said
unto him
, If
thou wilt
be
perfect
, go
and sell
that thou
hast
, and
give
to the poor
, and
thou shalt have
treasure
in
heaven
: and
come
and follow
me
.
But when the young man
heard
that saying
, he went away
sorrowful
: for
he had
great
possessions
.
Then said
Jesus
unto his
disciples
, Verily
I say
unto you
, That
a rich man
shall hardly
enter
into
the kingdom
of heaven
.
And again
I say
unto you
, 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
.
When his
disciples
heard
it , they were exceedingly
amazed
, saying
, Who
then
can
be saved
?
But Jesus
beheld
them , and said
unto them
, With
men
this
is
impossible
; but
with
God
all things
are
possible
.
Then answered
Peter
and said
unto him
, Behold
, we
have forsaken
all
, and
followed
thee
; what
shall we
have
therefore
?
And Jesus
said
unto them
, Verily
I say
unto you
, That
ye
which
have followed
me
, in
the regeneration
when
the Son
of man
shall sit
in
the throne
of his
glory
, ye
also
shall sit
upon
twelve
thrones
, judging
the twelve
tribes
of Israel
.
And every
one
that hath forsaken
houses
, or
brethren
, or
sisters
, or
father
, or
mother
, or
wife
, or
children
, or
lands
, for my
name's
sake
, shall receive
an hundredfold
, and
shall inherit
everlasting
life
.
But many
that are first
shall be
last
; and
the last
shall be first
.
