Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Matthew, chapter nineteen. And it came to pass that when
Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee and
came into the coast of Judea, beyond Jordan, and great
multitudes followed him, and he healed them. There. The Pharisees
also came unto him, tempting him and saying, unto him,

(00:22):
is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
For every cause? And he answered and said, unto them,
have he not read that he which made them at
the beginning made them male and female? 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. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.

(00:47):
But therefore God hath joined together. Let not man put asunder.
They say unto him. Why did Moses then command to
give a writing of divorcement and to put her away?
He saith unto them, Moses, because of the hardness of
your hearts suffered you to put away your wives. But

(01:07):
from the beginning it was not so. 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.
His disapples say unto him, if the case of the

(01:28):
man be so with his wife, it is not good
to marry. But he said unto them, all men cannot
receive the saying, save they to whom it is given.
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

(01:49):
made themselves eunuchs. For the Kingdom of Heaven's sake, he
that us able to receive it, let him receive it.
Then were there brought on to him little children, that
he should put his hands on them and pray. And
the dissapples rebuked them. But Jesus said, suffer little children,

(02:10):
and forbid them not to come unto me, for of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven. And he laid his
hands on them and departed. Thence and behold one came
and said, unto him, good Master, what good thing shall
I do that I may have eternal life? And he
said unto him, why callest thou me good. There is

(02:32):
none good but one that is God. But if thou
wilt enter into life, keep the commandments, 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. Honor thy father and thy mother. And

(02:54):
thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man
saith unto him, All these things have I kept from
my youth up haught like I. Yet 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. But when the

(03:19):
young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for
he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples. Verily,
I say unto you that a rich man shall hardly
enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. And again I say
unto you, it is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a rich

(03:41):
man to enter into the Kingdom of God. When his
disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, who then
can be saved? But Jesus beheld them and said, unto them.
With men, this is impossible. But with God all things
are possible. Then answered Peter and said unto him, behold,

(04:07):
we have forsaken all and followed thee. What shall we
have therefore? 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. And every one that

(04:30):
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. But
many that are first shall be last, and the last
shall be first.
