1And it came about that when Yeshua(Jesus) had finished these logos(words), He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan;
2and large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3Some Pharisees came to Him, testing Him and asking: "Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?"
4And He answered and said: "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
5and said: 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one sarx(flesh)'?
6So they are no longer two but one sarx(flesh) — what therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
7They said to Him: "Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
8He said to them: "Because of your hardness of kardia(heart, soul-domain) Moses permitted you to divorce your wives — but from the beginning it has not been this way.
9And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife except for immorality and marries another woman commits adultery."
10The disciples said to Him: "If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry."
11But He said to them: "Not all men can accept this logos(word), but only those to whom it has been 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 have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens — the one who is able to accept this, let him accept it."
13Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14But Yeshua(Jesus) said: "Let the children alone and do not hinder them from coming to Me, for the kingdom of the heavens belongs to such as these."
15After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.
16And behold, someone came to Him and said: "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal zoe(life)?"
17And He said to him: "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good — but if you wish to enter into zoe(life), keep the commandments."
18Then he said to Him: "Which ones?" And Yeshua(Jesus) said: "'You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
19Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"
20The young man said to Him: "All these things I have kept — what am I still lacking?"
21Yeshua(Jesus) said to him: "If you wish to be perfect, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."
22But when the young man heard this logos(word), he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.
23And Yeshua(Jesus) said to His disciples: "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of the heavens.
24Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
25When the disciples heard this they were very astonished and said: "Then who can be saved?"
26And looking at them Yeshua(Jesus) said to them: "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
27Then Peter answered and said to Him: "Behold, we have left everything and followed You — what then will there be for us?"
28And Yeshua(Jesus) said to them: "Truly I say to you, you who have followed Me — in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of His glory, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, krino(judging) the twelve tribes of Israel.
29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for My name's sake will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal zoe(life).
30But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
