CHAP. XIX. / 2 Christ healeth the sicke: 3 answereth the Pharisees concerning diuorcement: 10 sheweth when mariage is necessary: 13 receiueth litle children: 16 instructeth the yong man how to attaine

1And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coastes of Iudea, beyond Iordane:Select Matthew 19:1

2And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.Select Matthew 19:2

3The Pharisees also came vnto him, tempting him, and saying vnto him, Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife for euery cause?Select Matthew 19:3

4And hee answered, and said vnto them, Haue ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning, made them male and female?Select Matthew 19:4

5And said, For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shall cleaue to his wife: and they twaine shalbe one flesh.Select Matthew 19:5

6Wherefore they are no more twaine, but one flesh. What therefore God hath ioyned together, let not man put asunder.Select Matthew 19:6

7They say vnto him, Why did Moses then command to giue a writing of diuorcement, and to put her away?Select Matthew 19:7

8Hee saith vnto them, Moses, because of the hardnesse of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wiues: but from the beginning it was not so.Select Matthew 19:8

9And I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away, doth commit adultery.Select Matthew 19:9

10His disciples say vnto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marrie.Select Matthew 19:10

11But hee said vnto them, All men cannot receiue this saying, saue they to whom it is giuen.Select Matthew 19:11

12For there are some Eunuches, which were so borne from their mothers wombe: and there are some Eunuches, which were made Eunuches of men: and there be Eunuches, which haue made themselues Eunuches for the kingdome of heauens sake. He that is able to receiue it, let him receiue it.Select Matthew 19:12

13Then were there brought vnto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.Select Matthew 19:13

14But Iesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come vnto me: for of such is þe kingdome of heauen.Select Matthew 19:14

15And he laide his hands on them, and departed thence.Select Matthew 19:15

16And behold, one came and said vnto him, Good master, what good thing shall I do, that I may haue eternall life?Select Matthew 19:16

17And he said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandements.Select Matthew 19:17

18He saith vnto him, Which? Iesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnesse,Select Matthew 19:18

19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.Select Matthew 19:19

20The young man saith vnto him, All these things haue I kept from my youth vp: what lacke I yet?Select Matthew 19:20

21Iesus said vnto him, If thou wilt be perfect, goe and sell that thou hast, and giue to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen: and come and follow me.Select Matthew 19:21

22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowfull: for he had great possessions.Select Matthew 19:22

23Then said Iesus vnto his disciples, Uerely I say vnto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdome of heauen.Select Matthew 19:23

24And againe I say vnto you, It is easier for a camel to goe thorow the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the kingdome of God.Select Matthew 19:24

25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saued?Select Matthew 19:25

26But Iesus beheld them, and said vnto them, With men this is vnpossible, but with God al things are possible.Select Matthew 19:26

27Then answered Peter, and said vnto him, Behold, we haue forsaken all, and followed thee, what shall we haue therefore?Select Matthew 19:27

28And Iesus said vnto them, Uerily I say vnto you, that ye which haue followed me, in the regeneration when the Sonne of man shal sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shal sit vpon twelue thrones, iudging the twelue tribes of Israel.Select Matthew 19:28

29And euery one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my Names sake, shall receiue an hundred fold, and shall inherite euerlasting life.Select Matthew 19:29

30But many that are first, shall be last, and the last shall be first.Select Matthew 19:30
