Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.

Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.

For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.

And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents.

And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.

But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.

Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:

Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?

And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?

And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.

For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.

But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.

And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.
