|
1 |
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;
|
|
|
2 |
And great multitudes
followed him; and he healed them there. |
|
3 |
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?
|
|
4 |
And he answered and
said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which
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 twain shall be one flesh?
|
|
6 |
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
|
|
7 |
They say unto him,
Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her
away?
|
|
8 |
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.
|
|
9 |
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.
|
|
10 |
His disciples say
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, save
they to whom it is given.
|
|
12 |
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.
|
|
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,
Suffer 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 thence. |
|
16 |
And, behold, one
came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may
have eternal life?
|
|
17 |
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.
|
|
18 |
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,
|
|
19 |
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
|
|
20 |
The young man saith
unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
|
|
21 |
Jesus said unto him,
If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou
hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt 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 thee; what
shall we have therefore?
|
|
28 |
And Jesus said unto
them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have
followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne
of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.
|
|
29 |
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit
everlasting life.
|
|
30 |
But many that are first shall be last; and the
last shall be first. |
