¹ When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan; ² and^a Lit manylarge crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.	1 Mat 7:28 Mat 19:1-9 2 Mat 4:23
³ Some Pharisees came to^b Lit HimJesus, testing Him and asking, “Is it lawful for a man to^c Or send awaydivorce his wife for any reason at all?” ⁴ And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, ⁵ and said, ‘FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH’? ⁶ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” ⁷ They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?” ⁸ He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to^d Or send awaydivorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. ⁹ And I say to you, whoever^e Or sends awaydivorces his wife, except for^f Lit fornicationimmorality, and marries another woman^gcommits adultery^h.”	3 Mat 5:31 4 Gen 1:27 Gen 5:2 5 Gen 2:24 Eph 5:31 Co1 6:16 7 Deu 24:1-4 Mat 5:31 9 Mat 5:32
¹⁰ The disciples *said to Him, “If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.” ¹¹ But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. ¹² For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”	11 Co1 7:7 Mat 13:11
¹³ Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Jesus said, “ⁱ Or Permit the childrenLet the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” ¹⁵ After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.	13 Mat 19:13-15 Luk 18:15-17 14 Mat 18:3 Mar 10:15 Luk 18:17 Co1 14:20 Pe1 2:2 Mat 5:3
¹⁶ And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” ¹⁷ And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” ¹⁸ Then he said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS; ¹⁹ HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER; and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” ²⁰ The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?” ²¹ Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be^j Or perfectcomplete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” ²² But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.	16 Mat 19:16-29 Luk 18:18-30 Luk 10:25-28 Mat 25:46 17 Lev 18:5 Neh 9:29 Eze 20:21 18 Exo 20:13-16 Deu 5:17-20 19 Exo 20:12 Deu 5:16 Lev 19:18 21 Luk 12:33 Luk 16:9 Act 2:45 Act 4:34 Mat 6:20
²³ And Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. ²⁴ Again I say to 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.” ²⁵ When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can be saved?” ²⁶ And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”	23 Mat 13:22 Mar 10:23 Luk 18:24 24 Mar 10:25 Luk 18:25 26 Gen 18:14 Job 42:2 Jer 32:17 Zec 8:6 Mar 10:27 Luk 1:37 Luk 18:27
²⁷ Then Peter said to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?” ²⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on^k Lit the throne of His gloryHis glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother^l One early ms adds or wifeor children or farms for My name’s sake, will receive^m One early ms reads a hundred timesmany times as much, and will inherit eternal life. ³⁰ But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.	28 Mat 25:31 Luk 22:30 Rev 3:21 Rev 4:4 Rev 11:16 Rev 20:4 29 Mat 6:33 Mar 10:29 Luk 18:29 30 Mat 20:16 Mar 10:31 Luk 13:30
