019:007 "Why then," said they, "did Moses command the husband to give her `a written notice of divorce,' and so put her away?" 019:008 "Moses," He replied, "in consideration of the hardness of your nature permitted you to put away your wives, but it has not been so from the beginning. 019:009 And I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery." 019:010 "If this is the case with a man in relation to his wife," said the disciples to Him, "it is better not to marry." 019:011 "It is not every man," He replied, "who can receive this teaching, but only those on whom the grace has been bestowed. 019:012 There are men who from their birth have been disabled from marriage, others who have been so disabled by men, and others who have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of the Heavens. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it." 019:013 Then young children were brought to Him for Him to put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples interfered. 019:014 Jesus however said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs." 019:015 So He laid His hands upon them and went away. 019:016 "Teacher," said one man, coming up to Him, "what that is good shall I do in order to win the Life of the Ages?" 019:017 "Why do you ask me," He replied, "about what is good? There is only One who is truly good. But if you desire to enter into Life, keep the Commandments." 019:018 "Which Commandments?" he asked. Jesus answered, "`Thou shalt not kill;' `Thou shalt not commit adultery;' `Thou shalt not steal;' `Thou shalt not lie in giving evidence;' 019:019 `Honour thy father and thy mother'; and `Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'" 019:020 "All of these," said the young man, "I have carefully kept. What do I still lack?" 019:021 "If you desire to be perfect," replied Jesus, "go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and come, follow me." 019:022 On hearing those words the young man went away much cast down; for he had much property. 019:023 So Jesus said to His disciples, "I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens. 019:024 Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." 019:025 These words utterly amazed the disciples, and they asked, "Who then can be saved?" 019:026 Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God everything is possible."
