* And it came to pass (5633 ), that when Jesus had finished (5656 ) these sayings , he departed (5656 ) from Galilee , and came (5627 ) into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan ; * And great multitudes followed (5656 ) him ; and he healed (5656 ) them there . * The Pharisees also came (5656 ) unto him , tempting (5723 ) him , and saying (5723 ) unto him , Is it lawful (5748 ) for a man to put away (5658 ) his wife for every cause ? * And he answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ) unto them , Have ye not read (5627 ), that he which made (5660 ) them at the beginning made (5656 ) them male and female , * And said (5627 ), For this cause shall a man leave (5692 ) father and mother , and shall cleave (5701 ) to his wife : and they twain shall be (5704 ) one flesh ? * Wherefore they are (5748 ) no more twain , but one flesh . What therefore God hath joined together (5656 ), let not man put asunder (5720 ). * They say (5719 ) unto him , Why did Moses then command (5662 ) to give (5629 ) a writing of divorcement , and to put her away (5658 )? * He saith (5719 ) unto them , Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered (5656 ) you to put away (5658 ) your wives : but from the beginning it was (5754 ) not so . * And I say (5719 ) unto you , Whosoever shall put away (5661 ) his wife , except it be for fornication , and shall marry (5661 ) another , committeth adultery (5736 ): and whoso marrieth (5660 ) her which is put away (5772 ) doth commit adultery (5736 ). * His disciples say (5719 ) unto him , If the case of the man be (5748 ) so with his wife , it is not good (5719 ) to marry (5658 ). * But he said (5627 ) unto them , All men cannot receive (5719 ) this saying , save they to whom it is given (5769 ). * For there are (5748 ) some eunuchs , which were so born (5681 ) from their mothers womb : and there are (5748 ) some eunuchs , which were made eunuchs (5656 ) of men : and there be (5748 ) eunuchs , which have made themselves eunuchs (5656 ) for the kingdom of heavens sake . He that is able (5740 ) to receive (5721 ) it , let him receive (5720 ) it . * Then were there brought (5681 ) unto him little children , that he should put his hands on (5632 ) them , and pray (5667 ): and the disciples rebuked (5656 ) them . * But Jesus said (5627 ), Suffer (5628 ) little children , and forbid (5720 ) them not , to come (5629 ) unto me : for of such is (5748 ) the kingdom of heaven . * And he laid his hands on (5631 ) them , and departed (5675 ) thence . * And , behold (5628 ), one came (5631 ) and said (5627 ) unto him , Good Master , what good thing shall I do (5661 ), that I may have (5725 ) eternal life ? * And he said (5627 ) unto him , Why callest thou (5719 ) me good ? there is none good but one , that is , God : but if thou wilt (5719 ) enter (5629 ) into life , keep (5657 ) the commandments . * He saith (5719 ) unto him , Which ? Jesus said (5627 ), Thou shalt do no murder (5692 ), Thou shalt not commit adultery (5692 ), Thou shalt not steal (5692 ), Thou shalt not bear false witness (5692 ), * Honour (5720 ) thy father and thy mother : and , Thou shalt love (5692 ) thy neighbour as thyself . * The young man saith (5719 ) unto him , All these things have I kept (5668 ) from my youth up : what lack (5719 ) I yet ? * Jesus said (5713 ) unto him , If thou wilt (5719 ) be (5750 ) perfect , go (5720 ) and sell (5657 ) that thou hast (5723 ), and give (5628 ) to the poor , and thou shalt have (5692 ) treasure in heaven : and come (5773 ) and follow (5720 ) me . * But when the young man heard (5660 ) that saying , he went away (5627 ) sorrowful (5746 ): for he had (5723 ) (5713 ) great possessions . * Then said (5627 ) Jesus unto his disciples , Verily I say (5719 ) unto you , That a rich man shall hardly enter (5695 ) into the kingdom of heaven . * And again I say (5719 ) unto you , It is (5748 ) easier for a camel to go (5629 ) through the eye of a needle , than for a rich man to enter (5629 ) into the kingdom of God . * When his disciples heard (5660 ) it , they were exceedingly amazed (5712 ), saying (5723 ), Who then can (5736 ) be saved (5683 )? * But Jesus beheld (5660 ) them , and said (5627 ) unto them , With men this is (5748 ) impossible ; but with God all things are (5748 ) possible . * Then answered (5679 ) Peter and said (5627 ) unto him , Behold (5628 ), we have forsaken (5656 ) all , and followed (5656 ) thee ; what shall we have (5704 ) therefore ? * And Jesus said (5627 ) unto them , Verily I say (5719 ) unto you , That ye which have followed (5660 ) me , in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit (5661 ) in the throne of his glory , ye also shall sit (5695 ) upon twelve thrones , judging (5723 ) the twelve tribes of Israel . * And every one that hath forsaken (5656 ) houses , or brethren , or sisters , or father , or mother , or wife , or children , or lands , for my names sake , shall receive (5695 ) an hundredfold , and shall inherit (5692 ) everlasting life . * But many that are first shall be (5704 ) last ; and the last shall be first .
