And{G2532} it came to pass{G1096}{(G5633)}, that when{G3753} Jesus{G2424} had finished{G5055}{(G5656)} these{G5128} sayings{G3056}, he departed{G3332}{(G5656)} from{G575} Galilee{G1056}, and{G2532} came{G2064}{(G5627)} into{G1519} the coasts{G3725} of Judaea{G2449} beyond{G4008} Jordan{G2446};

And{G2532} great{G4183} multitudes{G3793} followed{G190}{(G5656)} him{G846}; and{G2532} he healed{G2323}{(G5656)} them{G846} there{G1563}.

The Pharisees{G5330} also{G2532} came{G4334}{(G5656)} unto him{G846}, tempting{G3985}{(G5723)} him{G846}, and{G2532} saying{G3004}{(G5723)} unto him{G846}, Is it lawful{G1487}{G1832}{(G5748)} for a man{G444} to put away{G630}{(G5658)} his{G846} wife{G1135} for{G2596} every{G3956} cause{G156}?

And{G1161} he answered{G611}{(G5679)} and said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, Have ye{G314} not{G3756} read{G314}{(G5627)}, that{G3754} he which{G3588} made{G4160}{(G5660)} them at{G575} the beginning{G746} made{G4160}{(G5656)} them{G846} male{G730} and{G2532} female{G2338},

And{G2532} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, For this{G5127} cause{G1752} shall a man{G444} leave{G2641}{(G5692)} father{G3962} and{G2532} mother{G3384}, and{G2532} shall cleave{G4347}{(G5701)} to his{G846} wife{G1135}: and{G2532} they twain{G1417} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)}{G1519} one{G3391} flesh{G4561}?

Wherefore{G5620} they are{G1526}{(G5748)} no more{G3765} twain{G1417}, but{G235} one{G3391} flesh{G4561}. What{G3739} therefore{G3767} God{G2316} hath joined together{G4801}{(G5656)}, let{G5563} not{G3361} man{G444} put asunder{G5563}{(G5720)}.

They say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, Why{G5101} did Moses{G3475} then{G3767} command{G1781}{(G5662)} to give{G1325}{(G5629)} a writing{G975} of divorcement{G647}, and{G2532} to put{G630} her{G846} away{G630}{(G5658)}?

He saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto them{G846},{G3754} Moses{G3475} because of{G4314} the hardness{G4641} of your{G5216} hearts{G4641} suffered{G2010}{(G5656)} you{G5213} to put away{G630}{(G5658)} your{G5216} wives{G1135}: but{G1161} from{G575} the beginning{G746} it was{G1096}{(G5754)} not{G3756} so{G3779}.

And{G1161} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213},{G3754} Whosoever{G3739}{G302} shall put away{G630}{(G5661)} his{G846} wife{G1135}, except{G1508} it be for{G1909} fornication{G4202}, and{G2532} shall marry{G1060}{(G5661)} another{G243}, committeth adultery{G3429}{(G5736)}: and{G2532} whoso marrieth{G1060}{(G5660)} her which{G3588} is put away{G630}{(G5772)} doth commit adultery{G3429}{(G5736)}.

His{G846} disciples{G3101} say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, If{G1487} the case{G156} of the man{G444} be{G2076}{(G5748)} so{G3779} with{G3326} his wife{G1135}, it is{G4851} not{G3756} good{G4851}{(G5719)} to marry{G1060}{(G5658)}.

But{G1161} he said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, All{G3956} men cannot{G3756} receive{G5562}{(G5719)} this{G5126} saying{G3056}, save{G235} they to whom{G3739} it is given{G1325}{(G5769)}.

For{G1063} there are{G1526}{(G5748)} some eunuchs{G2135}, which{G3748} were so{G3779} born{G1080}{(G5681)} from{G1537} their mother's{G3384} womb{G2836}: and{G2532} there are{G1526}{(G5748)} some eunuchs{G2135}, which{G3748} were made eunuchs{G2134}{(G5656)} of{G5259} men{G444}: and{G2532} there be{G1526}{(G5748)} eunuchs{G2135}, which{G3748} have made{G2134} themselves{G1438} eunuchs{G2134}{(G5656)} for{G1223} the kingdom{G932} of heaven's sake{G3772}. He that is able{G1410}{(G5740)} to receive{G5562}{(G5721)} it, let him receive{G5562}{(G5720)} it.

Then{G5119} were there brought{G4374}{(G5681)} unto him{G846} little children{G3813}, that{G2443} he should put{G2007} his hands{G5495} on{G2007}{(G5632)} them{G846}, and{G2532} pray{G4336}{(G5667)}: and{G1161} the disciples{G3101} rebuked{G2008}{(G5656)} them{G846}.

But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Suffer{G863}{(G5628)} little children{G3813}, and{G2532} forbid{G2967}{(G5720)} them{G846} not{G3361}, to come{G2064}{(G5629)} unto{G4314} me{G3165}: for{G1063} of such{G5108} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772}.

And{G2532} he laid{G2007} his hands{G5495} on{G2007}{(G5631)} them{G846}, and departed{G4198}{(G5675)} thence{G1564}.

And{G2532}, behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, one{G1520} came{G4334}{(G5631)} and said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto him{G846}, Good{G18} Master{G1320}, what{G5101} good thing{G18} shall I do{G4160}{(G5661)}, that{G2443} I may have{G2192}{(G5725)} eternal{G166} life{G2222}?

And{G1161} he said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto him{G846}, Why{G5101} callest thou{G3004}{(G5719)} me{G3165} good{G18}? there is none{G3762} good{G18} but{G1508} one{G1520}, that is, God{G2316}: but{G1161} if{G1487} thou wilt{G2309}{(G5719)} enter{G1525}{(G5629)} into{G1519} life{G2222}, keep{G5083}{(G5657)} the commandments{G1785}.

He saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, Which{G4169}?{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Thou shalt do{G5407} no{G3756} murder{G5407}{(G5692)}, Thou shalt{G3431} not{G3756} commit adultery{G3431}{(G5692)}, Thou shalt{G2813} not{G3756} steal{G2813}{(G5692)}, Thou shalt{G5576} not{G3756} bear false witness{G5576}{(G5692)},

Honour{G5091}{(G5720)} thy{G4675} father{G3962} and{G2532} thy mother{G3384}: and{G2532}, Thou shalt love{G25}{(G5692)} thy{G4675} neighbour{G4139} as{G5613} thyself{G4572}.

The young man{G3495} saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, All{G3956} these things{G5023} have I kept{G5442}{(G5668)} from{G1537} my{G3450} youth up{G3503}: what{G5101} lack{G5302}{(G5719)} I yet{G2089}?

Jesus{G2424} said{G5346}{(G5713)} unto him{G846}, If{G1487} thou wilt{G2309}{(G5719)} be{G1511}{(G5750)} perfect{G5046}, go{G5217}{(G5720)} and sell{G4453}{(G5657)} that thou{G4675} hast{G5224}{(G5723)}, and{G2532} give{G1325}{(G5628)} to the poor{G4434}, and{G2532} thou shalt have{G2192}{(G5692)} treasure{G2344} in{G1722} heaven{G3772}: and{G2532} come{G1204}{(G5773)} and follow{G190}{(G5720)} me{G3427}.

But{G1161} when the young man{G3495} heard{G191}{(G5660)} that saying{G3056}, he went away{G565}{(G5627)} sorrowful{G3076}{(G5746)}: for{G1063} he had{G2192}{(G5723)}{G2258}{(G5713)} great{G4183} possessions{G2933}.

Then{G1161} said{G2036}{(G5627)} Jesus{G2424} unto his{G846} disciples{G3101}, Verily{G281} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, That{G3754} a rich man{G4145} shall hardly{G1423} enter{G1525}{(G5695)} into{G1519} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772}.

And{G1161} again{G3825} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, It is{G2076}{(G5748)} easier{G2123} for a camel{G2574} to go{G1330}{(G5629)} through{G1223} the eye{G5169} of a needle{G4476}, than{G2228} for a rich man{G4145} to enter{G1525}{(G5629)} into{G1519} the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316}.

When{G1161} his{G846} disciples{G3101} heard{G191}{(G5660)} it, they were exceedingly{G4970} amazed{G1605}{(G5712)}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Who{G5101} then{G686} can{G1410}{(G5736)} be saved{G4982}{(G5683)}?

But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} beheld{G1689}{(G5660)} them, and said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, With{G3844} men{G444} this{G5124} is{G2076}{(G5748)} impossible{G102}; but{G1161} with{G3844} God{G2316} all things{G3956} are{G2076}{(G5748)} possible{G1415}.

Then{G5119} answered{G611}{(G5679)} Peter{G4074} and said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto him{G846}, Behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, we{G2249} have forsaken{G863}{(G5656)} all{G3956}, and{G2532} followed{G190}{(G5656)} thee{G4671}; what{G5101} shall we{G2254} have{G2071}{(G5704)} therefore{G686}?

And{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, Verily{G281} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, That{G3754} ye{G5210} which{G3588} have followed{G190}{(G5660)} me{G3427}, in{G1722} the regeneration{G3824} when{G3752} the Son{G5207} of man{G444} shall sit{G2523}{(G5661)} in{G1909} the throne{G2362} of his{G846} glory{G1391}, ye{G5210} also{G2532} shall sit{G2523}{(G5695)} upon{G1909} twelve{G1427} thrones{G2362}, judging{G2919}{(G5723)} the twelve{G1427} tribes{G5443} of Israel{G2474}.

And{G2532} every{G3956} one{G3739} that hath forsaken{G863}{(G5656)} 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{G3686} sake{G1752}, shall receive{G2983}{(G5695)} an hundredfold{G1542}, and{G2532} shall inherit{G2816}{(G5692)} everlasting{G166} life{G2222}.

But{G1161} many{G4183} that are first{G4413} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} last{G2078}; and{G2532} the last{G2078} shall be first{G4413}.
