two feet to be cast into hell. [9:47]And if your eye
offends you, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the
kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell,
[9:48]where the worm dies not and the fire is not extinguished. [9:49]
For every man shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be
salted with salt. [9:50]Salt is good; but if the salt has become
insipid, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be
at peace one with another.
CHAPTER X.
CHRIST'S DOCTRINE OF MARRIAGE, CHILDREN AND THE WAY OF SALVATION, HIS
DEATH PREDICTED, AND SIGHT RESTORED TO BARTIMEUS.
1 [10:1]AND he arose and went thence into the bounds of Judea, and
beyond the Jordan; and again multitudes came together to him, and again
he taught them as he was accustomed. [10:2]And the Pharisees came and
asked him, to try him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
[10:3]And he answered and said to them, What did Moses command you?
[10:4]And they said, Moses permitted us to write a bill of divorcement

this. [10:11]And he said to them, Whoever puts away his wife and
marries another, commits adultery with her; [10:12]and if a woman puts
away her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.
3 [10:13]And they brought him little children that he should touch
them; and the disciples rebuked those who brought them. [10:14]But
Jesus seeing it, was displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little
children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom
