And{G2532} it came to pass{G1096} when{G3753} Jesus{G2424} had finished{G5055} these{G5128} words,{G3056} he departed{G3332} from{G575} Galilee,{G1056} and{G2532} came{G2064} into{G1519} the borders{G3725} of Judaea{G2449} beyond{G4008} the Jordan;{G2446}

and{G2532} great{G4183} multitudes{G3793} followed{G190} him;{G846} and{G2532} he healed{G2323} them{G846} there.{G1563}

And{G2532} there came{G4334} unto him{G846} Pharisees,{G5330} trying{G3985} him,{G846} and{G2532} saying,{G3004} Is it{G1487} lawful{G1832} [for a man]{G444} to put away{G630} his{G846} wife{G1135} for{G2596} every{G3956} cause?{G156}

And{G1161} he answered{G611} and said,{G2036} Have ye{G314} not{G3756} read,{G314} that{G3754} he who made{G4160} [them] from{G575} the beginning{G746} made{G4160} them{G846} male{G730} and{G2532} female,{G2338}

and{G2532} said,{G2036} For{G1752} this{G5127} cause{G1752} shall{G2641} a man{G444} leave{G2641} his father{G3962} and{G2532} mother,{G3384} and{G2532} shall cleave{G4347} to{G1135} his{G846} wife;{G1135} and{G2532} the{G2071} two{G1417} shall{G2071} become{G1519} one{G1520} flesh?{G4561}

So{G5620} that they are{G1526} no more{G3765} two,{G1417} but{G235} one{G1520} flesh.{G4561} What{G3739} therefore{G3767} God{G2316} hath joined together,{G4801} let{G5563} not{G3361} man{G444} put asunder.{G5563}

They say{G3004} unto him,{G846} Why{G5101} then{G3767} did{G1781} Moses{G3475} command{G1781} to give{G1325} a bill{G975} of divorcement,{G647} and{G2532} to put{G630} [her]{G846} away?{G630}

He saith{G3004} unto them,{G3754} Moses{G3475} for{G4314} your{G5216} hardness of{G4641} heart{G4641} suffered{G2010} you{G5213} to put away{G630} your{G5216} wives:{G1135} but{G1161} from{G575} the beginning{G746} it hath{G1096} not{G3756} been so.{G3779}

And{G1161} I{G302} say{G3004} unto you,{G3754} Whosoever{G3739} shall put away{G630} his{G846} wife,{G1135} except{G1487} for{G1909} fornication,{G4202} and{G2532} shall marry{G1060} another,{G243} committeth adultery:{G3429} and{G2532} he that marrieth{G1060} her when she is put away{G630} committeth adultery.{G3429}

The{G846} disciples{G3101} say{G3004} unto him,{G846} If{G1487} the case{G156} of the man{G444} is so{G3779} with{G3326} his wife,{G1135} it is{G4851} not{G3756} expedient{G4851} to marry.{G1060}

But{G1161} he said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Not{G3756} all{G3956} men can receive{G5562} this{G5126} saying,{G3056} but{G235} they to whom{G3739} it is given.{G1325}

For{G1063} there{G3748} are{G1526} eunuchs,{G2135} that{G3748} were{G1080} so{G3779} born{G1080} from{G1537} their mother's{G3384} womb:{G2836} and{G2532} there are{G1526} eunuchs,{G2135} that{G3748} were made eunuchs{G2135} by{G5259} men:{G444} and{G2532} there are{G1526} eunuchs,{G2134} that{G3748} made{G2134} themselves{G1438} eunuchs{G2135} for{G1223} the kingdom{G932} of heaven's{G3772} sake.{G1223} He that is able{G1410} to receive{G5562} it, let him receive{G5562} it.

Then{G5119} were there brought{G4374} unto him{G846} little children,{G3813} that{G2443} he should lay{G2007} his hands{G5495} on them,{G846} and{G2532} pray:{G4336} and{G1161} the disciples{G3101} rebuked{G2008} them.{G846}

But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said,{G2036} Suffer{G863} the little children,{G3813} and{G2532} forbid{G2967} them{G846} not,{G3361} to come{G2064} unto{G4314} me:{G3165} for{G1063} to such{G5108} belongeth the kingdom{G932} of heaven.{G3772}

And{G2532} he laid{G2007} his hands{G5495} on them,{G846} and departed{G4198} thence.{G1564}

And{G2532} behold,{G2400} one{G1520} came{G4334} to him{G846} and said,{G2036} Teacher,{G1320} what{G5101} good{G18} thing{G18} shall I do,{G4160} that{G2443} I may have{G2192} eternal{G166} life?{G2222}

And{G1161} he said{G2036} unto him,{G846} Why{G5101} askest thou{G3004} me{G3165} concerning that which{G3762} is good?{G18} One{G1520} there{G1487} is{G3361} who is good:{G2316} but{G1161} if{G1487} thou wouldest{G2309} enter{G1525} into{G1519} life,{G2222} keep{G5083} the commandments.{G1785}

He saith{G3004} unto him,{G846} Which?{G1161} And Jesus{G2424} said,{G2036} Thou shalt{G5407} not{G3756} kill,{G5407} Thou shalt{G3431} not{G3756} commit adultery,{G3431} Thou shalt{G2813} not{G3756} steal,{G2813} Thou shalt{G5576} not{G3756} bear false witness,{G5576}

Honor{G5091} thy{G4675} father{G3962} and{G2532} mother;{G3384} and,{G2532} Thou shalt love{G25} thy{G4675} neighbor{G4139} as{G5613} thyself.{G4572}

The young man{G3495} saith{G3004} unto him,{G846} All{G3956} these things{G5023} have I observed:{G5442} what{G5101} lack I{G5302} yet?{G2089}

Jesus{G2424} said{G5346} unto him,{G846} If{G1487} thou wouldest{G2309} be{G1511} perfect,{G5046} go,{G5217} sell{G4453} that{G5224} which thou{G4675} hast,{G5224} and{G2532} give{G1325} to the poor,{G4434} and{G2532} thou shalt have{G2192} treasure{G2344} in{G1722} heaven:{G3772} and{G2532} come,{G1204} follow{G190} me.{G3427}

But{G1161} when{G191} the young man{G3495} heard{G191} the saying,{G3056} he went away{G565} sorrowful;{G3076} for{G1063} he{G2258} was one that had{G2192} great{G4183} possessions.{G2933}

And{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036} unto{G3101} his{G846} disciples,{G3101} Verily{G281} I say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} It{G3754} is{G1525} hard{G1423} for a rich man{G4145} to enter{G1525} into{G1519} the kingdom{G932} of heaven.{G3772}

And{G1161} again{G3825} I say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} It is{G2076} easier{G2123} for{G1330} a camel{G2574} to go{G1330} through{G1223} a needle's{G4476} eye,{G5169} than{G2228} for{G1525} a rich man{G4145} to enter{G1525} into{G1519} the kingdom{G932} of God.{G2316}

And when{G1161} the{G846} disciples{G3101} heard{G191} it, they were{G1605} astonished{G1605} exceedingly,{G4970} saying,{G3004} Who{G5101} then{G687} can{G1410} be saved?{G4982}

And{G1161} Jesus{G2424} looking{G1689} upon [them] said{G2036} to 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}

Then{G5119} answered{G611} Peter{G4074} and said{G2036} unto him,{G846} Lo,{G2400} we{G2249} have left{G863} all,{G3956} and{G2532} followed{G190} thee;{G4671} what{G5101} then{G687} shall{G2071} we{G2254} have?{G2071}

And{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Verily{G281} I say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} that{G3754} ye{G5210} who have followed{G190} me,{G3427} in{G1722} the regeneration{G3824} when{G3752} the Son{G5207} of man{G444} shall sit{G2523} on the throne{G2362} of{G1391} 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}

And{G2532} every{G3956} one{G3739} that hath left{G863} houses,{G3614} or{G2228} brethren,{G80} or{G2228} sisters,{G79} or{G2228} father,{G3962} or{G2228} mother,{G3384} or{G2228} children,{G5043} or{G2228} lands,{G68} for{G1752} my{G3450} name's{G3686} sake,{G1752} shall receive{G2983} a hundredfold,{G1542} and{G2532} shall inherit{G2816} eternal{G166} life.{G2222}

But{G1161} many{G4183} shall be last{G2078} [that are]{G2071} first;{G4413} and{G2532} first{G4413} [that are] last.{G2078}
