CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed these words, he moved away from Galilee, and he arrived within the borders of Judea, across the Jordan.	1 And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan.
2 And great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.	2 And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there.
3 And the Pharisees approached him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to separate from his wife, no matter what the cause?”	3 And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he said to them in response, “Have you not read that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female?” And he said:	4 Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and female? And he said:
5 “For this reason, a man shall separate from father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife, and these two shall become one flesh.	5 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.
6 And so, now they are not two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.”	6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
7 They said to him, “Then why did Moses command him to give a bill of divorce, and to separate?”	7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?
8 He said to them: “Although Moses permitted you to separate from your wives, due to the hardness of your heart, it was not that way from the beginning.	8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say to you, that whoever will have separated from his wife, except because of fornication, and who will have married another, commits adultery, and whoever will have married her who has been separated, commits adultery.”	9 And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
10 His disciples said to him, “If such is the case for a man with a wife, then it is not expedient to marry.”	10 His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.
11 And he said to them: “Not everyone is able to grasp this word, but only those to whom it has been given.	11 Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.
12 For there are chaste persons who were born so from their mother’s womb, and there are chaste persons who have been made so by men, and there are chaste persons who have made themselves chaste for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to grasp this, let him grasp it.”	12 For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.
13 Then they brought to him little children, so that he would place his hands upon them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.	13 Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
14 Yet truly, Jesus said to them: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not choose to prohibit them. For the kingdom of heaven is among such as these.”	14 But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
15 And when he had imposed his hands upon them, he went away from there.	15 And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.
16 And behold, someone approached and said to him, “Good Teacher, what good should I do, so that I may have eternal life?”	16 And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?
17 And he said to him: “Why do you question me about what is good? One is good: God. But if you wish to enter into life, observe the commandments.”	17 Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He said to him, “Which?” And Jesus said: “You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony.	18 He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.
19 Honor your father and your mother. And, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”	19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 The young man said to him: “All these I have kept from my childhood. What is still lacking for me?”	20 The young man saith to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?
21 Jesus said to him: “If you are willing to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.”	21 Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.
22 And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.	22 And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, I say to you, that the wealthy shall enter with difficulty into the kingdom of heaven.	23 Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the wealthy to enter into the kingdom of heaven.”	24 And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
25 And upon hearing this, the disciples wondered greatly, saying: “Then who will be able to be saved?”	25 And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered very much, saying: Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus, gazing at them, said to them: “With men, this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible.”	26 And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible.
27 Then Peter responded by saying to him: “Behold, we have left behind all things, and we have followed you. So then, what will be for us?”	27 Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?
28 And Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that at the resurrection, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, those of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.	28 And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And anyone who has left behind home, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for the sake of my name, shall receive one hundred times more, and shall possess eternal life.	29 And every one that hath left house, 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 possess life everlasting.
30 But many of those who are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”	30 And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first.
