19 It came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, He departed from Galilee and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan. Great multitudes followed Him and He healed many there. The Pharisees also came to test Him. They questioned Him saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Jesus answered, have ye not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife. The two shall be one? Therefore, they are no longer two but one flesh. What God has joined together, let no man put asunder. They said, Why, then, did Moses allow a writing of divorcement to put a wife away? Jesus said, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives. But, from the beginning, it was not so. I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery. Whoever marries her who is put away also commits adultery. His disciples said, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. Jesus said, All men cannot receive this saying, except those to whom this saying is given. There are some eunuchs who were so born from their mother's womb. There are some eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men. And there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray. When the disciples rebuked them Jesus said, Allow these little children and do not forbid them to come to me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Jesus laid His hands on them, and then departed. Behold, a young man came to Him and asked, Good Master, what shall I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him, Why call me good? There is none good but one, and that is God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. The young man asked, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Honour thy father and thy mother. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man said, All these things I have kept from my youth up. What do I yet lack? Jesus answered, If thou will be perfect, go and sell what you have and give to the poor. Thou shalt have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying he went away sorrowful because he had many possessions. Then said Jesus to His disciples, Hardly a rich man shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. 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 this they were greatly amazed. They asked, Who, then, can be saved? Jesus beheld them and said, With men it is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
