When Yeshua [Salvation] had finished these words, he departed from Galilee [District, Circuit], and came into the borders of Judea [Praise] beyond the Jordan [Descender].
2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Pharisees [Separated] came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
He answered, “Haven’t you read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
They asked him, “Why then did Moses [Drawn out] enjoin us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?”
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.
He said to them, “Moses [Drawn out], because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been 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.
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for porhneia ·sexual immorality·, and marries another, commits moichao ·act of adultery·; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits moichao ·act of adultery·.”
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.
His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
11 But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom it is given.
But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those 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.]
For 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 made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s (God’s) sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put [his] hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay 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.
But Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven (God) belongs to ones like these.”
15 And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed thence.
He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He said to him, “Why do you call me good? There is One who is good, that is God’s Torah ·Teaching·. But if you want to enter into life, observe the mitzvot ·instructions·.”
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
He said to him, “Which ones?” Yeshua [Salvation] said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not moicheuo ·commit adultery·.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall show agapao ·total devoted love· to your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

24 And again I say unto you, 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.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Looking at them, Yeshua [Salvation] said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
Then Peter [Rock] answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?”
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel [God prevails].
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, 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 inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last [shall be] first.
But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
