50 and they two shall be in one flesh. Therfore now they are not two, but one flesh. That therfore which God hath joyned togeather, let ″ not man separate. ✠ They say to him: why then * did Moyses command to give a bil of divorce, and to dimisse her? He saith to them: Because Moyses for the hardnes of your hart permitted you to dimisse your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, that * whosoever shall dimisse his wife, ″ but for fornication, and shal mary an other, does commit advoutrie: and he that shal mary her that is dimissed, committheth advoutrie. His Disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to mary. Who said to them, ″ Not al take this word, but they to whom it is given. For there are Eunuches which were borne so from their mothers wombe: and there are Eunuches which were made by men: and there are Eunuches, which have ″ gelded themselves for the Kingdom of Heaven. ″ He that can take, let him take. ✠

Then * were litle children presented to him, that he should ″ impose hands upon them and pray. And the Disciples rebuked them. But said to them: Suffer the litle children, and stay them not from comming unto me: for the Kingdom of Heaven is for such. And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.

And * behold one came and said to him: Good Maister, what good shal I doe that I may have life everlasting? Who said to him: what askest thou me of good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life keep the commandements. He saith to him, which? And said: Thou shalt not murder, Thou shalt not commit aduoutrie, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnes, Honour thy father & thy mother, * Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thyself. The yongman saith to him: Al these have I kept from my youth; what is yet wanting unto me? said to him: ″ If thou wilt be perfect, goe, sel the things that thou hast, & give to the poore, and you shall have treasure in Heaven: and come, ″ folow me. And when the yongman had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had many possessions. And said to his Disciples: Amen I say to you, that a rich man shal hardly enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. And againe I say to you, it is easier for a camel to passe through the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. And when they had heard this, the Disciples marveled very much, saying: who then can be saved? And beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God ″ al things are possible. Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have ″ left al things, and have folowed thee: ″ what therfore shal we have? And said to them: Amen I say to you, that you which have folowed me, in the regeneration, when the Sonne of man shal sit in the seat of his majestie, you ″ also shal sit upon twelve seats, judging the twelve Tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or Father, or mother, or wife, or children, or landes for my names sake: shal receave an hundred-fold, & shal possesse life everlasting. ✠ And * many shal be first, that are last; and last, that are first.
