*
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 ?
