42. What Therefore God Hath Joined Together, Let Not Man Put Asunder

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, “Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for any cause?”

And he answered and said unto them, “Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female? What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

They say unto him, “Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?”

He saith unto them, “Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away taV gunaikaV umwn: but from the beginning it was not so.”

“And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away thn gunaika autou, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth apolelumenhn doth commit adultery.”

Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

But Jesus said, Afete ta little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Then said he unto the disciples, “It is anendekton but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”

And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, ‘What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?’

Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

43. Were There Not Ten Cleansed? but Where Are the Nine?

And it had come to pass in his journey to Jerusalem (when he had departed Galilee), that he dihrceto through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

So as he now entered into a certain village (between Ephraim and Jericho), there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

And when he saw them, he said unto them, “Go shew yourselves unto the priests.”

And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

And Jesus answering said, “Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.”

And he said unto him, “Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.”

44. The Kingdom of God Is within You

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, ‘Lo here!’ or, ‘lo there!’ for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

And he said unto the disciples, “The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. And they shall say to you, ‘See here;’ or, ‘see there:’ go not after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.”

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.”

“Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: “Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.”

“The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.’”

“And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, ‘God be merciful to me a sinner.’”

“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”

45. Whosoever Shall Not Receive the Kingdom of God As a Little Child Shall in No Wise Enter Therein

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Afete little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

“Verily I say unto you, ‘Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.’”

And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

46. With God All Things Are Possible

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, a certain ruler, and kneeled to him, and asked him, “Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have 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.”

He saith unto him, “Which?”

Jesus said, The commandments thou knowest, ‘Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,’ ‘Defraud not,’ ‘Honour thy father and thy mother:’ and, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.’”

The young man saith unto him, “Master, all these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?”

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, “One thing thou lackest, yet fails thou one thing: If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell thy ta uparconta, sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.”

And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, “How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

And they that heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”

And he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

And the young man went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, “How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!”

And the disciples were astonished at his words.

But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, “Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle dielqein, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?”

And Jesus looking upon them saith, “With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.”

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, “Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into 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.’”

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, “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.”

Then answered Peter and said unto him, “Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?”

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.”

"And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive pollaplasiona, and shall inherit everlasting life."

"Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."

“But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.”

“For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.”

“And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.”

“And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; ‘Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you.’ And they went their way.”

“Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.”

“And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, ‘Why stand ye here all the day idle?’”

“They say unto him, ‘Because no man hath hired us.’”

“He saith unto them, ‘Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.’”

“So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, ‘Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.’”

“And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.”

“But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, ‘These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.’”

“But he answered one of them, and said, ‘Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?’”

“‘Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.’”

“‘Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?’”

“So the last shall be first, and the first last.”

And he said unto them, “Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.”

Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.”

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
