¹And Jesus rose up from thence, and came into the coasts of Judea over Jordan; and again the people came together to him, and as he was wont, again he taught them.

²And the Pharisees came nigh, and asked him, Whether it be leaveful to a man to leave or to forsake his wife? and they tempted him.

³And he answered, and said to them, What commanded Moses to you?

⁴And they said, Moses suffered to write a libel of forsaking, and to forsake.

⁵And Jesus answered, and said to them, For the hardness of your heart Moses wrote to you this command-ment or this precept.

⁶But from the beginning of creature, God made them male and female;

⁷and said, For this thing a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall draw or cleave to his wife,

⁸and they shall be twain in one flesh. And so now they be not twain, but one flesh.

⁹Therefore that thing that God hath joined together, no man separate or part.

¹⁰And again in the house his disciples asked him of the same thing.

¹¹And he said to them, Whoever leaveth his wife, and weddeth another, he doeth adultery on her.

¹²And if the wife leave her husband, and be wedded to another, she doeth lechery or doeth adultery.

¹³And they brought to him little children, that he should touch them; and the disciples threatened the men, that brought them.

¹⁴And when Jesus had seen them, he bare heavy, and said to them, Suffer ye little children to come to me, and forbid ye them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁵Truly I say to you, whoever receiveth not the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter into it.

¹⁶And he embraced them, and laid his hands on them, and blessed them.

¹⁷And when Jesus was gone out into the way, a man ran before, and kneeled before him, and prayed him, and said, Good master, what shall I do, that I receive everlasting life?

¹⁸And Jesus said to him, What sayest thou that I am good? There is no man good, but God himself, or None is good, no but God alone.

¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments, do thou none adultery, slay not, steal not, say not false witnessing, do no fraud, worship thy father and thy mother.

²⁰And he answered, and said to him, Master, I have kept all these things from my youth.

²¹And Jesus beheld him, and loved him, and said to him, One thing faileth to thee; go thou, and sell all things that thou hast, and give to poor men, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, pursue thou me.

²²And he was full sorry or made sorrowful in the word, and went away mourning, for he had many possessions.

²³And Jesus beheld about, and said to his disciples, How hard they that have riches or money shall enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁴And the disciples were astonied in his words. And Jesus again answered, and said to them, Ye little children or Little sons, how hard it is for men that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁵It is lighter a camel to pass through a needle’s eye or It is easier that a camel pass through a needle’s eye, than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶And they wondered more, and said among themselves, And who may be saved?

²⁷And Jesus beheld them, and said, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things be possible with God.

²⁸And Peter began to say to him, Lo! we have left all things, and have pursued thee.

²⁹Jesus answered, and said, Truly I say to you, there is no man that leaveth house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or fields for me and for the gospel,

³⁰which shall not take an hundredfold so much now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the world to coming or to come everlasting life.

³¹But many shall be, the first the last, and the last the first.

³²And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them, and they wondered, and followed, and dreaded. And again Jesus took the twelve, and began to say to them, what things were to come to him.

³³For lo! we go up to Jerusalem, and man’s Son shall be betrayed to the princes of priests, and to the scribes, and to the elder men; and they shall condemn him by death, and they shall be take him to heathen men.

³⁴And they shall scorn him, and bespit him, and beat him; and they shall slay him, and in the third day he shall rise again.

³⁵And James and John, Zebedee’s sons, came to him, and said, Master, we will, that whatever we ask, thou do to us.

³⁶And he said to them, What will ye that I do to you?

³⁷And they said, Grant to us, that we sit the one at thy right half, and the other at thy left half, in thy glory.

³⁸And Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask; may ye drink the cup, which I shall drink, or be washed with the baptism, in which I am baptized?

³⁹And they said to him, We may. And Jesus said to them, Truly Ye shall drink the cup that I drink, and ye shall be washed with the baptism, in which I am baptized;

⁴⁰but to sit at my right half or left half is not mine to give to you, but to whom it is made ready.

⁴¹And the ten heard, and began to have indignation of James and John.

⁴²But Jesus called them, and said to them, Ye know, that they that seem or be seen to have princehood of folks, be lords of them, and the princes of them have power of them.

⁴³But it is not so among you, but whoever will be made the greater, shall be your minister;

⁴⁴and whoever will be the first among you, shall be servant of all.

⁴⁵For why man’s Son came not, that it should be ministered to him, but that he should minister, and give his life again-buying or as a redemp-tion for many.

⁴⁶And they came to Jericho; and when he went forth from Jericho, and his disciples, and a full much people, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat beside the way, and begged.

⁴⁷And when he heard, that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry, and say, Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁸And many threatened him, that he should be still; and he cried much the more or he cried much more, saying, Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me.

⁴⁹And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be called; and they called the blind man, and said to him, Be thou of better heart, rise up, he calleth thee.

⁵⁰And he cast away his cloth, and skipped, and came to him.

⁵¹And Jesus answered, and said to him, What wilt thou, that I shall do to thee? The blind man said to him, Master, that I see.

⁵²Jesus said to him, Go thou, thy faith hath made thee safe. And anon he saw, and pursued him in the way.
