Chapter 19
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from
Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan; and great
multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
And there came unto him ^2 Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it
lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and
said, Have ye not read, ^3 that he who ^4 made them from the beginning made
them male and female, and said, ^5 For this cause shall a man leave his father
and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined
together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, ^6 Why then did Moses
command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto
them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives:
but from the beginning it hath not been so. And I say unto you, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, ^7 except for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: ^8 and he that marrieth her when she is put away
committeth adultery. The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so
with his wife, it is not expedient to marry. But he said unto them, Not all
men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given. For there are
eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs,
that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves
eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let
him receive it.

[Footnote 4: Some ancient authorities read created.]
[Footnote 5: Gen. ii. 24.]
[Footnote 6: Dt. xxiv. 1-4.]
[Footnote 7: Some ancient authorities read saving for the cause of
fornication, maketh her an adulteress: as in ch. 5. 32.]
[Footnote 8: The following words, to the end of the verse, are omitted by some
ancient authorities.]
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his
hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said,
Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for ^9 to
such belongeth the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and
departed thence.
[Footnote 9: Or, of such is]
And behold, one came to him and said, ^10 Teacher, what good thing shall
I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, ^11 Why askest thou
me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou
wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which?
And Jesus said, ^12 Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy
mother; and, ^13 Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man saith
unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto
him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to
the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. But
when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one
that had great possessions.
[Footnote 10: Some ancient authorities read Good Teacher. See Mk. 10. 17; Lk.
18. 18.]
[Footnote 11: Some ancient authorities read Why callest thou me good? None is
good save one, even God. See Mk. 10. 18; Lk. 18. 19.]
[Footnote 12: Ex. xx. 12-16; Dt. v. 16-20.]
[Footnote 13: Lev. xix. 18.]
And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for
a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It
is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to
enter into the kingdom of God. And when the disciples heard it, they were
astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon
them said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are
possible. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and
followed thee; what then shall we have? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I
say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son
of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left
houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, ^1 or children, or
lands, for my name's sake, shall receive ^2 a hundredfold, and shall inherit
eternal life. But many shall be last that are first; and first that are last.
