010:012 If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another,
she commits adultery."
010:013 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them,
but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
010:014 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation,
and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me!
Don't forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to
such as these.
010:015 Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom
of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
010:016 He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his
hands on them.
010:017 As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him,
and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may
inherit eternal life?"
010:018 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good
except one--God.
010:019 You know the commandments: 'Do not murder,' 'Do not commit adultery,'
'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Do not defraud,'
'Honor your father and mother.'"{Exodus 20:12-16;
Deuteronomy 5:16-20}
010:020 He said to him, "Teacher, I have observed all these things
from my youth."
010:021 Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, "One thing
you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me,
taking up the cross."
010:022 But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful,
for he was one who had great possessions.
010:023 Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult it
is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!"
010:024 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again,
"Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches
to enter into the Kingdom of God!
010:025 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."
010:026 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who
can be saved?"
010:027 Jesus, looking at them, said, "With men it is impossible,
but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
010:028 Peter began to tell him, "Behold, we have left all,
and have followed you."
010:029 Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has
left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother,
or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake
of the Good News,
010:030 but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time,
houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land,
with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.
