1 On|strong="G1519" leaving|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3588" place, Jesus|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2064" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" district|strong="G3725" of|strong="G2532" Judea|strong="G2449" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" other|strong="G4008" side|strong="G4008" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Jordan|strong="G2446". Crowds|strong="G3793" gathered|strong="G4848" about|strong="G5613" him|strong="G3588" again|strong="G3825"; and|strong="G2532" again|strong="G3825", as|strong="G5613" usual, he|strong="G2532" began teaching|strong="G1321" them|strong="G3588".
2 Presently some|strong="G3588" Pharisees|strong="G5330" came|strong="G4334" up|strong="G4334" and|strong="G2532", to|strong="G2532" test|strong="G3985" him|strong="G3588", asked|strong="G1905", ‘Has|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" husband the|strong="G2532" right to|strong="G2532" divorce his|strong="G2532" wife|strong="G1135"?’
3 ‘\+w What|strong="G5101"\+w* direction \+w did|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w Moses|strong="G3475"\+w* \+w give|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*?’ replied|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G3004".
4 ‘Moses|strong="G3475",’ they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘permitted|strong="G2010" a|strong="G2532" man to|strong="G2532" draw up|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" writing|strong="G1125" a|strong="G2532" notice of|strong="G2532" separation and|strong="G2532" divorce his|strong="G2532" wife.’

10 When|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" indoors, the|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101" asked|strong="G1905" him|strong="G3588" again|strong="G3825" about|strong="G4012" this|strong="G3778",
11 and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w Anyone|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3739"\+w* divorces \+w his|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w wife|strong="G1135"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w marries|strong="G1060"\+w* \+w another|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w woman|strong="G1135"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* guilty \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w adultery|strong="G3429"\+w* \+w against|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w his|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w wife|strong="G1135"\+w*;

13 Some|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G4374" were|strong="G3588" bringing|strong="G4374" little children|strong="G3813" to|strong="G2443" Jesus|strong="G2532", for|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2443" touch them|strong="G3588"; but|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101" rebuked|strong="G2008" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" brought|strong="G4374" them|strong="G3588".
14 When|strong="G1161", however|strong="G1161", Jesus|strong="G2424" saw|strong="G3708" this|strong="G3588", he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" indignant. ‘\+w Let|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* little \+w children|strong="G3813"\+w* \+w come|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w to|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*,’ he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w hinder|strong="G2967"\+w* \+w them|strong="G3588"\+w*; \+w for|strong="G1063"\+w* \+w it|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w to|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* childlike \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* kingdom \+w of|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w God|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w belongs|strong="G1510"\+w*.

16 Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" embraced the|strong="G2532" children, and|strong="G2532", placing|strong="G5087" his|strong="G1909" hands|strong="G5495" on|strong="G1909" them|strong="G3588", gave|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" his|strong="G1909" blessing|strong="G2127".
17 As|strong="G1519" Jesus|strong="G2532" was|strong="G2532" resuming his|strong="G1519" journey|strong="G3598", a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G1520" came|strong="G2532" running|strong="G4370" up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G1905", and|strong="G2532" threw himself|strong="G1519" on|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" knees|strong="G1120" before|strong="G1519" him|strong="G1905". ‘Good|strong="G5101" teacher|strong="G1320",’ he|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G1905", ‘what|strong="G5101" must|strong="G4160" I|strong="G2532" do|strong="G4160" to|strong="G1519" gain eternal life|strong="G2222"?’

20 ‘Teacher|strong="G1320",’ he|strong="G1161" replied|strong="G5346", ‘I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G1473" observed|strong="G5442" all|strong="G3956" these|strong="G3778" from|strong="G1537" my|strong="G3956" childhood.’
21 Jesus|strong="G2424" looked|strong="G1689" at|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" man|strong="G4434", and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" heart went|strong="G2424" out|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w There|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* still \+w one|strong="G1520"\+w* \+w thing|strong="G1520"\+w* wanting \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w*; \+w go|strong="G5217"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w sell|strong="G4453"\+w* \+w all|strong="G3745"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w give|strong="G1325"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w poor|strong="G4434"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* wealth \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w heaven|strong="G3772"\+w*; \+w then|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w come|strong="G1204"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w follow|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1325"\+w*.’
22 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1161" man’s|strong="G2192" face clouded at|strong="G1909" these|strong="G3588" words|strong="G3056", and|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" went|strong="G3588" away distressed|strong="G3076", for|strong="G1063" he|strong="G1161" had|strong="G2192" great|strong="G4183" possessions|strong="G2933".
23 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" looked|strong="G4017" round|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101", ‘\+w How|strong="G4459"\+w* \+w hard|strong="G1423"\+w* \+w it|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w be|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w people|strong="G1525"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2316"\+w* wealth \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w enter|strong="G1525"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* kingdom \+w of|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w God|strong="G2316"\+w*!’
