   [7] They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of   
   divorcement, and to put her away?   
   [8] He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts   
   suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.   
   [9] And I say unto you, Whosoever 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.   
   [10] His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife,   
   it is not good to marry.   
   [11] But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to   
   whom it is given.   
   [12] For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's   
   womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there   
   be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's   
   sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.   
      
   Mark 10:13-16   
      
   Little Children Blessed   
   Mt 19:13-18; Lk 18:15-17   
      
   13 (Mt 19:13-15; Mk 10:48) They brought young children to Him,   
   that He might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.   
   14 But when Jesus saw it, He was very displeased and said to them,   
   "Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them,   
   for of such is the kingdom of God.   
   15 (Mt 18:3; Lk 18:17) Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive   
   the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it."   
   16 (Mk 9:36) And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them,   
   and blessed them.   
      
   [13] Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put   
   his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.   
   [14] But Jesus said, Suffer 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 and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing   
   shall I do, that I may have eternal life?   
      
   Matthew 19:13-15   
      
   Little Children Blessed   
   Mk 10:13-16; Lk 18:15-17   
   13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put   
   His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.   
   14 (Mt 18:3; Lk 18:16-17) But Jesus said, "Let the little children come   
   to Me, and do not forbid them. For to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."   
   15 He laid His hands on them and departed from there.   
      
   [13] And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and   
   his disciples rebuked those that brought them.   
   [14] But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them,   
   Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such   
   is the kingdom of God.   
   [15] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God   
   as a little child, he shall not enter therein.   
   [16] And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed   
   them.   
      
   Luke 18:15-17   
      
   Little Children Blessed   
   Mt 19:13-15; Mk 10:13-16   
      
   15 (Mt 19:13-15; Mk 10:13-16) They also brought infants to Him   
   that He might touch them. When the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.   
   16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, "Permit the little children   
   to come to Me, and do not hinder them. For   
   to such belongs the kingdom of God.   
   17 (Mk 10:15) Truly, I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom   
   of God as a little child will in no wise enter it."   
      
   [15] And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but   
   when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.   
   [16] But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to   
   come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.   
   [17] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God   
   as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.   
      
   Mark 10:17-31   
      
   The Rich Man   
   Mt 19:16-30; Lk 18:18-30   
      
   17 (Mk 1:40; Lk 18:18-30) When He set out on His way, a man came running   
   and knelt before Him, and asked Him,   
   "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"   
   18 He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good, except God alone.   
   19 (Ex 20:12-17; Lk 18:20) You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery,   
   Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor   
   your father and mother.(Ex 20:12-16; Dt 5:16-20.)"   
   20 (Mt 19:20; Php 3:6) He answered Him,   
   "Teacher, all these have I observed from my youth."   
   21 (Lk 12:33; Ac 2:45) Then Jesus, looking upon him, loved him   
   and said to him, "You lack one thing: Go your way, sell whatever you have   
   and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.   
   And come, take up the cross and follow Me."   
   22 (Eze 33:31) He was saddened by that word, and he went away grieving.   
   For he had many possessions.   
   23 (Mk 3:5; 1Co 1:26) Jesus looked around and said to His disciples,   
   "How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!"   
   24 (Ps 52:7; Pr 11:28) The disciples were astonished at His words.   
   But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust   
   in riches to enter the kingdom of God!   
   25 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."   
   26 They were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves,   
   "Who then can be saved?"   
   27 (Mt 19:26; Job 42:2) Jesus, looking at them, said,   
   "With men it is impossible, but not with God.   
   For with God all things are possible."   
   28 Peter began to say to Him, "Look, we have left everything   
   and have followed You."   
   29 (Mk 8:35) Jesus answered, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has   
   left a house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children   
   or fields, for My sake and for the gospel's sake,   
   30 (Mt 12:32) who shall not receive a hundred times as much now in this age,   
   houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields,   
   with persecution, and in the age to come, eternal life.   
   31 (Mt 19:30; 20:16) But many who are first will be last, and the last first."   
      
   [17] And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and   
   kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may   
   inherit eternal life?   
   [18] And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good   
   but one, that is, God.   
   [19] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do   
   not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and   
   mother.   
   [20] And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed   
   from my youth.   
   [21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou   
   lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and   
   thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow   
   me.   
   [22] And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great   
   possessions.   
   [23] And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly   
   shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!   
   [24] 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!   
   [25] 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.   
   [26] And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who   
   then can be saved?   
   [27] And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not   
   with God: for with God all things are possible.
