19:1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these
sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of
Judaea beyond Jordan;
19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them
there.
19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying
unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every
cause?
19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that
he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be
one flesh?
19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so.
19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away
doth commit adultery.
19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so
with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.
19:11 But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this
saying, save [they] to whom it is given.
19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
[their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were
made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is
able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he
should put [his] hands on them, and pray: and the disciples
rebuked them.
19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them
not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
19:15 And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed thence.
19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master,
what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there
is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter
into life, keep the commandments.
19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no
murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19:19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I
kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and]
sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.
19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
19:24 And again I say unto 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 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly
amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men
this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye
which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man
shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon
twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall
inherit everlasting life.
19:30 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last
[shall be] first.
