Berean Standard Bible
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 ;
When Jesus had finished saying
these things
, He left
Galilee and went
into the region
of Judea
beyond the
Jordan .
And
great
multitudes
followed him ;
and he healed them there.
Large
crowds
followed Him ,
and He healed them there.
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
?
Then
some
Pharisees came and tested
Him by
asking
, “
Is it lawful for a man to divorce
his wife for any
reason
? ”
And
he
answered and
said
unto
them
, Have ye
not read ,
that he
which
made
them
at
the beginning made them male and female,
Jesus
answered, “
Have you
not read that from
the beginning the
Creator
‘
made them male and female, ’
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?
and said, ‘
For this reason
a man will
leave his
father and mother and be
united
to his wife ,
and the
two
will
become
one flesh ’
?
Wherefore
they are no more
twain
, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath
joined together, let not
man put
asunder
.
So
they are no longer
two
, but one flesh. Therefore what
God has
joined together, let man not
separate
. ”
They say
unto
him
, Why
did Moses then
command
to give a writing
of divorcement,
and to
put
her away?
“Why
then,”
they asked
, “
did Moses order
a
man
to give his
wife
a certificate
of divorce
and send
her away? ”
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
.
Jesus
replied
, “
Moses permitted
you to divorce
your wives because
of
your
hardness
of
heart;
but it was not this
way
from
the
beginning
.
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.
Now
I tell
you that
whoever
divorces
his wife, except for sexual
immorality
, and marries
another woman
, commits
adultery. ”
His disciples say
unto
him, If the case of
the
man be
so
with
his wife, it is not good
to marry.
His disciples said
to
Him, “
If this
is
the case between
a
man and
his wife, it is better
not to marry. ”
But
he
said
unto
them,
All
men
cannot
receive
this saying
, save
they
to whom it is
given.
“Not
everyone
can
accept
this word
, ”
He
replied,
“but
only
those
to whom it has
been
given.
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.
For there are eunuchs who
were born that
way;
others
were made that
way
by
men ;
and still
others
live
like
eunuchs for the sake
of
the
kingdom of heaven
. The
one
who
can
accept
this
should
accept
it. ”
Then were there
brought unto
him little
children,
that
he
should
put
his hands on them ,
and pray :
and the disciples rebuked them.
Then the
little
children
were brought to
Jesus
for
Him to
place
His hands on them and pray for
them.
And the disciples rebuked those
who
brought
them.
But Jesus said, Suffer
little children, and forbid
them
not ,
to
come
unto
me:
for of
such
is
the kingdom of heaven.
But Jesus said, “Let
the
little children come
to
Me
, and do
not hinder
them!
For the kingdom of heaven belongs
to
such
as
these
. ”
And he laid
his hands on them, and
departed
thence
.
And after
He had
placed
His hands on them, He
went
on
from
there
.
And,
behold,
one
came and said
unto
him
, Good
Master
, what good thing shall
I do ,
that
I
may
have
eternal life?
Just
then
a
man
came up
to
Jesus
and inquired
, “Teacher
, what good thing must
I do to
obtain
eternal life? ”
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.
“
Why do
you
ask
Me about
what
is
good? ”
Jesus
replied.
“
There is only
One who
is good.
If you
want
to
enter life, keep the commandments. ”
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,
“
Which ones
? ”
the
man
asked.
Jesus answered
, “‘
Do not
murder, do
not commit adultery, do
not steal, do
not bear false witness,
Honour
thy
father and thy
mother :
and
, Thou
shalt
love thy
neighbour
as thyself
.
honor
your
father and mother, and
love your
neighbor
as yourself
. ’”
The
young
man
saith
unto
him,
All these things
have
I kept from
my
youth
up:
what lack
I yet
?
“
All these I have
kept ,”
said
the
young
man.
“
What do
I still
lack
? ”
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.
Jesus told
him, “
If you
want
to
be perfect, go, sell
your
possessions
and give to the poor, and you
will
have treasure in heaven .
Then
come ,
follow Me. ”
But
when the young man heard that
saying
, he went away sorrowful:
for
he had great possessions
.
When the young man heard this
, he went away in
sorrow,
because
he had great wealth
.
Then said
Jesus unto
his disciples, Verily
I say
unto
you, That
a rich man shall
hardly
enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
Then Jesus said
to
His disciples, “Truly
I tell
you, it
is
hard
for
a rich man to
enter the kingdom of heaven.
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.
Again I tell
you, it is easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. ”
When his
disciples heard it
, they were exceedingly
amazed,
saying
, Who then can be saved?
When the
disciples heard this
, they were greatly
astonished
and
asked
, “
Who then can be saved? ”
But
Jesus beheld
them ,
and said unto
them
, With men
this is impossible ;
but with God all things are possible.
Jesus looked
at
them and said, “
With man
this is impossible ,
but with God all things are possible. ”
Then
answered
Peter
and
said
unto
him
, Behold
, we have forsaken
all,
and
followed
thee;
what shall
we
have
therefore
?
“Look
, ”
Peter
replied
, “
we have left
everything
to
follow
You.
What then
will
there
be
for
us
? ”
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.
Jesus said to
them, “Truly
I tell
you, in the renewal
of
all
things,
when the Son of Man sits
on
His glorious
throne
, you
who
have
followed
Me
will
also sit on
twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
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.
And everyone
who
has
left
houses or brothers
or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields
for the
sake of
My
name
will
receive a
hundredfold and will
inherit eternal
life.
But many that
are first shall
be last ;
and the last shall
be first.
But many who
are first will
be last ,
and the last will
be first.
