| 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. |
| His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. |
| But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. |
| 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. |
| Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. |
| But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. |
| And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. |
| And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? |
| 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. |
| 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, |
| Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
| The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? |
| 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. |
| But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. |
| Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. |
| 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. |
| When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? |
