Mark 10:7-27

7 and said, For this thing a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall draw to his wife [and shall cleave to his wife],
8 and they shall be twain in one flesh. And so now they be not twain, but one flesh. [and they shall be two in one flesh. And so now they be not two, but one flesh.]
9 Therefore that thing that God hath joined together, no man separate [no man part].
10 And again in the house his disciples asked him of the same thing.
11 And he said to them to them, Whoever leaveth his wife, and weddeth another, he doeth adultery on her. [And he saith to them, Whoever shall leave his wife, and wed another, he doeth adultery upon her.]
12 And if the wife [shall] leave her husband, and be wedded to another, she doeth lechery [she doeth adultery].
13 And they brought to him little children, that he should touch them; and the disciples threatened the men, that brought them.
14 And when Jesus had seen them, he bare heavy, and said to them, Suffer ye little children to come to me, and forbid ye them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Truly I say to you, whoever receiveth not the kingdom of God as a little child [whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child], he shall not enter into it.
16 And he embraced them, and laid his hands on them, and blessed them. [And he embracing them, and putting hands upon them, blessed them.]
17 And when Jesus was gone out into the way, a man ran before, and kneeled before him, and prayed him, and said [+one man running before, and the knee bowed, prayed him, and said], Good master, what shall I do, that I receive everlasting life?
18 And Jesus said to him, What sayest thou, that I am good? There is no man good, but God himself. [+Forsooth Jesus said to him, What sayest thou me good? None is good, no but one God/no but God alone.]
19 Thou knowest the commandments, do thou none adultery, slay not, steal not, say not false witnessing, do no fraud, honour thy father and thy mother [worship thy father and mother].
20 And he answered, and said to him, Master, I have kept all these things from my youth.
21 And Jesus beheld him, and loved him [Soothly Jesus beholding him loved him], and said to him, One thing faileth to thee; go thou, and sell all things that thou hast [sell whatever things thou hast], and give to poor men, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, [and] follow thou me.
22 And he was full sorry in the word, and went away mourning [The which made sorrowful in the word, went away mourning], for he had many possessions.
23 And Jesus beheld about, and said to his disciples [And Jesus beholding about, saith to his disciples], How hard they that have riches shall enter into the kingdom of God.
24 And the disciples were astonished in his words. And Jesus again answered, and said to them, Ye little children, how hard it is for men that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God [+And Jesus again answering saith to them, Little sons, how hard is it, that men trusting in riches to enter into the kingdom of God].
25 It is lighter a camel to pass through a needle's eye, than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [It is easier that a camel pass through a needle's eye, than that a rich man enter into the realm of God.]
26 And they wondered more, and said among themselves [saying at themselves], And who may be saved?
27 And Jesus beheld them, and said [And Jesus beholding them, saith to them], With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things be possible with God.
