⁹ And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:

¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

¹¹ The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.

¹² I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.

¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

¹⁴ I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

10 And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coasts of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitudes flock to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again.

² And the Pharisees coming to him asked him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

³ But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you?

⁴ Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.

⁵ To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you that precept.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.

⁷ For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.

⁸ And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.

⁹ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

¹⁰ And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.

¹¹ And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

¹² And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

19 And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan.

² And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there.

³ And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

⁴ Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and female? And he said:

⁵ For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.

⁶ Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.

⁷ They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?

⁸ He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

⁹ And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.

¹⁰ His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.

¹¹ Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.

¹² For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.

¹³ And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them.

¹⁴ Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.

¹⁶ And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

¹³ Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.

¹⁴ But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.

¹⁵ And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.

¹⁵ And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.

¹⁶ But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

¹⁷ Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.

¹⁷ And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?

¹⁸ And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.

¹⁹ Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.

²⁰ But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth.

²¹ And Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

²² Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

²³ And Jesus looking round about, saith to 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 again answering, saith to 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 pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶ Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved?

²⁷ And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

²⁸ And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.

²⁹ Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

³⁰ Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.

³¹ But many that are first, shall be last: and the last, first.

¹⁶ And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?

¹⁷ Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

¹⁸ He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, 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 to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?

²¹ Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.

²² And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.

²³ Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

²⁴ And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

²⁵ And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered very much, saying: Who then can be saved?

²⁶ And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible.

²⁷ Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?

²⁸ And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁹ And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.

³⁰ And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first.

¹⁸ And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life?

¹⁹ And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.

²⁰ Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.

²¹ Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.

²² Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²³ He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.

²⁴ And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁵ For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶ And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?

²⁷ He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.

²⁸ Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.

²⁹ Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

³⁰ Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
