11 So He said to them, a“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children
13 aThen they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for aof such is the kingdom of God.
15 Assuredly, I say to you, awhoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will bby no means enter it.”
16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.
Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler
17 aNow as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I bdo that I may inherit eternal life?”
19 You know the commandments: a‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”
20 And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have akept from my youth.”
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, asell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have btreasure in heaven; and come, ctake up the cross, and follow Me.”
22 But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23 aThen Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”
24 And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is1 for those awho 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 arich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?”
27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not awith God; for with God all things are possible.”
28 aThen Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”
29 So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother1 or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s,
30 awho shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with bpersecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.
Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection
32 aNow they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. bThen He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him:
33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles;
