5. But Yeshua said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment!
6. But from the beginning of creation, God ‘made them male and female.
7. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
8. and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate!”
10. In the house, the disciples began questioning Him about this again.
11. And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12. And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she is committing adultery.”
13. Now people were bringing little children to Yeshua so He might touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14. But when Yeshua saw this, He got angry. He told them, “Let the little children come to Me! Do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15. Amen, I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it!”
16. And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.
17. As Yeshua was setting out on His way, a man ran up to Him, fell on his knees before Him, and asked, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
18. “Why do you call Me good?” Yeshua said to him. “No one is good except One—that is God.
19. You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,’ do not cheat, ‘honor your father and mother.’”
20. The man responded, “Teacher, all these I have kept since my youth!”
21. Looking at him, Yeshua loved him and said, “One thing you lack. Go, sell as much as you have, and give to the poor; and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22. But at this statement, the man became sad and went away grieving, for he had much property.
23. Then looking around, Yeshua says to His disciples, “How hard it will be for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
24. The disciples were amazed at His words. But Yeshua answers again and says to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
