8. He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so.
9. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.
10. The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.
11. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, but they to whom it is given.
12. For there are eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, which were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, which made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13. Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14. But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16. And behold, one came to him and said, Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17. And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
18. He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19. Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet?
21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22. But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.
23. And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
