Jesus Teaches on Divorce
1   And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished   these   sayings,   he   departed   from Galilee, and came into the region of Judea beyond Jordan;
2   And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3   The Pharisees also came unto him, testing him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4   And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read, that he who made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5   And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?
6   Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
7   They said unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8   He said unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts allowed you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9   And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoever  marries  her  who  is  put  away  does commit adultery.
10   His disciples said unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11   But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, only they to whom it is given.
12   For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some  eunuchs,  who  were  made eunuchs of men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves  eunuchs  for  the  kingdom  of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Allow Little Children to Come
13   Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14   But Jesus said, Allow little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15   And he laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

The Rich Young Man
16   And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17   And he said unto him, Why do you call me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments.
18   He said unto him, Which? Jesus said, You shall do no murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
19   Honor your father and your mother: and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
20   The young man said unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21   Jesus said unto him, If you will be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and  you  shall  have  treasure  in  heaven:  and come and follow me.
22   But  when  the  young  man  heard  that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23   Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24   And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25   When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26   But  Jesus  beheld  them,  and  said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27   Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed you; what shall we have therefore?
28   And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve  thrones,  judging  the  twelve  tribes  of Israel.
29   And everyone that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30   But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
