1And[G2532] it came[G2064] to pass[G1096], that when[G3753]Jesus[G2424] had finished[G5055]these[G5128]sayings[G3056], he departed[G3332]from[G575]Galilee[G1056], and[G2532]came[G2064]into[G1519] the coasts[G3725] of Judaea[G2449]beyond[G4008]Jordan[G2446];
2And[G2532]great[G4183]multitudes[G3793]followed[G190]him[G846]; and[G2532] he healed[G2323]them[G846]there[G1563].
3
The Pharisees[G5330]also[G2532]came[G4334] unto him[G846], tempting[G3985]him[G846], and[G2532]saying[G3004] unto him[G846], Is it lawful[G1487]for[G2596] a man[G444] to put away[G630]his[G846]wife[G1135]for[G2596]every[G3956]cause?[G156]
4And[G1161] he answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036] unto them[G846], Have ye[G314]not[G3756]read[G314], that[G3754] he which[G3588]made[G4160]them[G846]at[G575] the beginning[G746]made[G4160]them[G846]male[G730]and[G2532]female[G2338],
5And[G2532]said[G2036], For this[G5127]cause[G1752] shall a man[G444]leave[G2641]father[G3962]and[G2532]mother[G3384], and[G2532] shall cleave[G4347] to his[G846]wife[G1135]: and[G2532] they twain[G1417] shall be[G2071]one[G3391]flesh?[G4561]
6Wherefore[G5620] they are[G1526] no more[G3765]twain[G1417], but[G235]one[G3391]flesh[G4561]. What[G3739]therefore[G3767]God[G2316] hath joined together[G4801], let[G5563]not[G3361]man[G444] put asunder[G5563].
7
They say[G3004] unto him[G846], Why[G5101] did Moses[G3475]then[G3767]command[G1781] to give[G1325] a writing[G975] of divorcement[G647], and[G2532] to put[G630]her[G846]away?[G630]
8
He saith[G3004] unto them[G846], Moses[G3475] because of[G4314] the hardness[G4641]of[G4314]your[G5216]hearts[G4641]suffered[G2010]you[G5213] to put away[G630]your[G5216]wives[G1135]: but[G1161]from[G575] the beginning[G746] it was[G1096]not[G3756]so[G3779].
9And[G1161] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Whosoever[G3739] shall put away[G630]his[G846]wife[G1135], except[G1508] it be for[G1909]fornication[G4202], and[G2532] shall marry[G1060]another[G243], committeth adultery[G3429]: and[G2532] whoso marrieth[G1060] her which[G3588] is put away[G630] doth commit adultery[G3429].
10His[G846]disciples[G3101]say[G3004] unto him[G846], If[G1487] the case[G156] of the man[G444]be[G2076]so[G3779]with[G3326]his[G846]wife[G1135], it is[G4851]not[G3756]good[G4851] to marry[G1060].
11But[G1161] he said[G2036] unto them[G846], All[G3956] men cannot[G3756]receive[G5562]this[G5126]saying[G3056], save[G235] they to whom[G3739] it is given[G1325].
12For[G1063] there are[G1526] some eunuchs[G2135], which[G3748] were so[G3779]born[G1080]from[G1537] their mother's womb[G2836]: and[G2532] there are[G1526] some eunuchs[G2134], which[G3748] were made[G2134]eunuchs[G2134]of[G5259]men[G444]: and[G2532] there be[G1526]eunuchs[G2134], which[G3748] have made[G2134]themselves[G1438]eunuchs[G2134]for[G1223] the kingdom[G932]of[G5259] heaven's sake[G3772]. He that is able[G1410] to receive[G5562] it, let him receive[G5562] it.
13Then[G5119] were there brought[G4374] unto him[G846] little children[G3813], that[G2443] he should put[G2007] his hands[G5495]on[G2007]them[G846], and[G2532]pray[G4336]: and[G1161] the disciples[G3101]rebuked[G2008]them[G846].
14But[G1161]Jesus[G2424]said[G2036], Suffer[G863] little children[G3813], and[G2532]forbid[G2967]them[G846]not[G3361], to come[G2064]unto[G4314]me[G3165]: for[G1063] of such[G5108]is[G2076] the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772].
15And[G2532] he laid[G2007] his hands[G5495]on[G2007]them[G846], and[G2532]departed[G4198]thence[G1564].
16And[G2532], behold[G2400], one[G1520]came[G4334] and said[G2036] unto him[G846], Good[G18]Master[G1320], what[G5101]good[G18]thing[G18] shall I do[G4160], that[G2443] I may have[G2192]eternal[G166]life?[G2222]
17And[G1161] he said[G2036] unto him[G846], Why[G5101] callest thou[G3004]me[G3165]good?[G18] there is none[G3762]good[G18]but[G1508]one[G1520], that is, God[G2316]: but[G1161]if[G1487]thou[G3004]wilt[G2309]enter[G1525]into[G1519]life[G2222], keep[G5083] the commandments[G1785].
20
The young man[G3495]saith[G3004] unto him[G846], All[G3956] these things[G5023] have I kept[G5442]from[G1537]my[G3450] youth up[G3503]: what[G5101]lack[G5302] I yet?[G2089]
21Jesus[G2424]said[G5346] unto him[G846], If[G1487]thou[G4675]wilt[G2309]be[G1511]perfect[G5046], go[G5217]and[G2532]sell[G4453] that thou[G4675]hast[G5224], and[G2532]give[G1325] to the poor[G4434], and[G2532]thou[G4675] shalt have[G2192]treasure[G2344]in[G1722]heaven[G3772]: and[G2532]come[G1204]and[G2532]follow[G190]me[G3427].
22But[G1161] when the young man[G3495]heard[G191] that saying[G3056], he went away[G565]sorrowful[G3076]: for[G1063] he had[G2192]great[G4183]possessions[G2933].
23Then[G1161]said[G2036]Jesus[G2424] unto his[G846]disciples[G3101], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], That[G3754] a rich man[G4145] shall hardly[G1423]enter[G1525]into[G1519] the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772].
24And[G1161]again[G3825] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], It is[G2076]easier[G2123] for a camel[G2574] to go[G1330]through[G1223] the eye[G5169] of a needle[G4476], than[G2228] for a rich man[G4145] to enter[G1525]into[G1519] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316].
25When[G1161]his[G846]disciples[G3101]heard[G191] it, they were exceedingly[G4970]amazed[G1605], saying[G3004], Who[G5101]then[G686]can[G1410] be saved?[G4982]
26But[G1161]Jesus[G2424]beheld[G1689]them[G846], and said[G2036] unto them[G846], With[G3844]men[G444]this[G5124]is[G2076]impossible[G102]; but[G1161]with[G3844]God[G2316] all things[G3956]are[G2076]possible[G1415].
28And[G1161]Jesus[G2424]said[G2036] unto them[G846], Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], That[G3754]ye[G5210]which[G3588] have followed[G190]me[G3427], in[G1722] the regeneration[G3824]when[G3752] the Son[G5207] of man[G444] shall sit[G2523]in[G1909] the throne[G2362] of his[G846]glory[G1391], ye[G5210]also[G2532] shall sit[G2523]upon[G1909]twelve[G1427]thrones[G2362], judging[G2919] the twelve[G1427]tribes[G5443] of Israel[G2474].
29And[G2532]every[G3956]one[G3739] that hath forsaken[G863]houses[G3614], or[G2228]brethren[G80], or[G2228]sisters[G79], or[G2228]father[G3962], or[G2228]mother[G3384], or[G2228]wife[G1135], or[G2228]children[G5043], or[G2228]lands[G68], for my[G3450] name's sake[G1752], shall receive[G2983] an hundredfold[G1542], and[G2532] shall inherit[G2816]everlasting[G166]life[G2222].
30But[G1161]many[G4183] that are first[G4413] shall be[G2071]last[G2078]; and[G2532] the last[G2078] shall be[G2071]first[G4413].
