For there are eunuchs, who were so born 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 sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

18 He sayd to him, Which? And Iesus sayde, These, Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnesse.
Which? saith he. And Jesus said, These: “Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;

20 The yong man sayd vnto him, I haue obserued all these things from my youth: what lacke I yet?
The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept; in what am I still wanting?
21 Iesus sayd vnto him, If thou wilt be perfite, go, sell that thou hast, and giue it to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, and follow me.

And the disciples, hearing this, were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 And Iesus behelde them, and sayde vnto them, With men this is vnpossible, but with God all things are possible.
But Jesus, fixing his eyes on them, said, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Then answered Peter, and said to him, Beholde, we haue forsaken all, and followed thee: what therefore shall we haue?
Then Peter answering said to him, Lo! we left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?
28 And Iesus said vnto them, Verely I say to you, that when the Sonne of man shall sit in the throne of his maiestie, ye which folowed me in the regeneration, shall sit also vpon twelue thrones and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel.

30 But many that are first, shalbe last, and the last shalbe first.
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
