1When Yeshua Salvation had finished these words, he departed from Galilee District, Circuit, and came into the borders of Judea Praise beyond the Jordan Descender.
2Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3Pharisees Separated came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4He answered, “Haven’t you read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,
5and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’ ?
6So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
7They asked him, “Why then did Moses Drawn out enjoin us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?”
8He said to them, “Moses Drawn out, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for porhneia ·sexual immorality·, and marries another, commits moichao ·act of adultery·; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits moichao ·act of adultery·.”
10His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
11But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12For 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 eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s (God’s) sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14But Yeshua Salvation said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven (God) belongs to ones like these.”
15He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
16Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
17He said to him, “Why do you call me good? There is One who is good, that is God’s Torah ·Teaching·. But if you want to enter into life, observe the mitzvot ·instructions·.”
18He said to him, “Which ones?” Yeshua Salvation said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not moicheuo ·commit adultery·.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’

19‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor as yourself.’”
20The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21Yeshua Salvation said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23Yeshua Salvation said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (God) with difficulty.
24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26Looking at them, Yeshua Salvation said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27Then Peter Rock answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?”
28Yeshua Salvation said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel God prevails.
29Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.
30But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
