1 And it came to pass, when ended the Jesus the words these, he departed from the Galilee, and came into the confines of the Judea, beyond the Jordan.
2 And followed him crowds great; and he healed them there.
3 And came to him the Pharisees, trying him, and saying to him: If it is lawful to a man to release the wife of him upon every cause?
4 He and answering said to them: Not have you read, that the Creator from a beginning a male and a female he made them?
5 and said: On account of this shall leave a man the father and the mother, and shall be closely united to the wife of him; and shall be the two into flesh one.
6 So that no longer they are two, but flesh one. What then the God has joined together, a man not disunites.
7 They say to him: Why then Moses did enjoin to give a scroll of separation, and to release her?
8 He says to them: That Moses for the hardness of heart of you suffered you to release the wives of you; from a beginning but not it was so.
9 I say but to you, that whoever may release the wife of him, except for fornication, and may marry another, commits adultery; and he her being released marrying, commits adultery.
10 They say to him the disciples of him: If thus is the case of the man with woman, not it is profitable to marry.
11 He but said to them: Not all admit the word this, but to whom it has been given.
12 There are for eunuchs, who from womb of mother were born so; and there are eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by the men; and there are eunuchs, who made eunuchs themselves on account of the kingdom of the heavens. He being able to admit, let him admit.
13 Then were brought to him little children that the hands he might lay on them, and he might pray; the but the disciples rebuked them.
14 The and Jesus said: Suffer the little children and not hinder them to come to me; of the for such like is the kingdom of the heavens.
15 And laying on them the hands, he departed thence.
16 And lo, one coming, said to him: O teacher good, what good must I do, that I may have life agelasting?
17 He and he said to him: Why me askest thou concerning the good? one is the good. If but thou wishest to enter into the life, keep strictly the commandments.
18 He says to him: Which? The and Jesus said: This; Not thou shalt kill; Not thou shalt commit adultery; Not thou shalt steal; Not thou shall testify falsely;
19 Honor the father and the mother; and Thou shalt love the neighbor of thee as thyself.
20 Says to him the young man: All these I kept from childhood of me; what more do I want?
21 Said to him the Jesus: If thou wishest perfect to be, go, sell of thee the possessions, and give to poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and hither, follow me.
22 Having heard and the young man the word, went away sorrowing; he was for having possessions many.
23 The and Jesus said to the disciples of himself: Indeed I say to you, that with difficulty a rich man shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
24 Again and I say to you, easier it is a camel through a hole of needle to pass, than a rich man into the kingdom of the God to enter.
25 Having heard and the disciples, were amazed exceedingly, saying: Who then is able to be saved?
26 Looking but the Jesus said to him: With man this impossible is; with but God all possible.
27 Then answering the Peter said to him: Lo, we left all, and followed thee; what then shall be to us?
28 The and Jesus said to them: Indeed I say to you, that you the having followed me, in the new birth day when may sit the son of the man upon a throne of glory of him, shall sit also you upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of the Israel.
29 And all who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on account of the name of me, a hundred fold shall receive, and life agelasting shall inherit.
30 Many but shall be first, last and last first.
1 When Jesus finished speaking, he departed from Galilee. He went to the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed many of them.
3 Pharisees came to him. They tested him, asking: »Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?«
4 He answered: »Have you not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female?
5 »For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The two shall become one flesh.
6 »So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What God has joined together, let no man pull apart separate!«
7 They asked him: »Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, to send her away?«
8 He answered: »Moses allowed you to send your wives away because of your hardness of heart. It was not allowed from the beginning.
9 »I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery. And he who marries her when she is divorced, commits adultery.«
10 The disciples said to him: »This being the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.«
11 He said: »This does not apply to everyone, only to those God has given it to.
12 »For there are men who, from birth, were without sex. There are some who were made that way by men. There are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this let him accept it.«
13 Then some people brought little children to him. They wanted him to lay his hands on them and bless them. But the disciples tried to stop them.
14 Jesus said: »Let the little ones children come to me. Do not keep them away: for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.«
15 He put his hands on them, and then went on his way.
16 One man said: »Master, what good thing must I do, so that I may have eternal life?«
17 Jesus answered him: »Why are you questioning me about what is good? There is one who is good. If you desire life, obey the Law.«
18 The man replied: »Which law?« And Jesus said: »Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false witness,
19 »Honor your father and your mother, and Love your neighbor as yourself.«
20 The man said to him: »I have done all these things; what more is there?«
21 Jesus then replied: »If you wish to be complete, go sell your possessions and give the money to the poor. You will have wealth in heaven. Then follow me!«
22 But hearing these words, the young man went away grieving, for he was very wealthy.
23 Jesus said to his disciples: »Truly I tell you, it is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.
24 »Again I say, It is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.«
25 The disciples were greatly surprised when they heard this. »Who, then, may have salvation?« they asked.
26 Jesus looked at them and said: »With men this is not possible. All things are possible with God!«
27 Then Peter said: »See, we have given up everything to follow you. What then will we have?«
28 Jesus replied: »Truly I say to you, when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 »Everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will receive many times as much, and have everlasting life.
30 »Many who are first will be last. Some who are last will be first.«
