ery; and whoever marries her that is put away, commits
adultery.
3 [19:10]The disciples said to him, If the case of a man is thus with
his wife, it is not expedient to marry. [19:11]And he said to them, All
do not receive this word, but those to whom it is given. [19:12]For
there are eunuchs from birth, who were born so from their mother; and
there are eunuchs who are made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs
who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.
He that is able to receive [this doctrine] let him receive it.
4 [19:13]Then little children were brought to him that he should put
his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. [19:14]But
Jesus said, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. [19:15]And he put his hands
on them and departed thence.
5 [19:16]And behold one came and said to him, Teacher, what good [work]
shall I do that I may have eternal life? [19:17]And he said to him, Why
do you ask me of the good? one is the good. But if you wish to enter
into life, keep the commandments. [19:18]He said to him, What? And
Jesus said, this; You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery;
You shall not steal; You shall not testify falsely; [19:19]Honor your
father and mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
[19:20]The young man said to him, All these have I kept; what do I lack
yet? [19:21]Jesus said to him, If you will be perfect, go and sell your
property, and give to the poor, and you shall have a treasure in
heaven; and come and follow me. [19:22]And when the young man heard
[this] he went away sad, for he had great possessions.
6 [19:23]And Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you truly, that a rich
man will enter into the kingdom of heaven with difficulty. [19:24]And
again I tell 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.
[19:25]And the disciples hearing this, were greatly astonished, and
said, Who then can be saved? [19:26]But Jesus looking on them, said,
With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
7 [19:27]Then Peter answered and said, Behold we have left all and
followed you; what shall we have therefore? [19:28]And Jesus said to
them, I tell you truly, that you who have followed me, in the
regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory,
shall yourselves also sit on
