19 When Jesus finish saying this thing dem, he left from Gal′i·lee and came to Ju·de′a borders, across the Jordan River.
2 Plenty people follow him there and he heal them.
3 Then the Pharisees came to him to test him. They ask: “It good for somebody to divorce his wife for just any kindna reason?
4 He tell them say: “Yor not read this one before that in the beginning God made them man and woman,
5 and say: ‘That the reason why the man will leave his ma and his pa, and he will stick to his wife. And two of them will be one flesh’?
6 So they not two again, but one flesh, so nobody must divide what God na put together.”
7 They ask him: “So why Moses say somebody can give divorce certificate to his wife and divorce her?”
8 He tell them say: “Because yor hard head, that the reason why Moses allow yor to divorce your wife, but that not how it wor looking in the beginning.
9 I tell yor that anybody who divorce his wife, when she not commit sexual immorality,* and he marry different woman, he committing adultery.”
10 The disciple dem tell him say: “If that how marry business looking, it better to not marry at all.”
11 He tell them say: “Not everybody able to do what I say, but only the people who get the gift.*
12 Some people can’t marry because they born them impotent. Other people can’t marry because people made them impotent, and other people choose to not get marry because they want do more for the Kingdom that in heaven. If anybody able to stay single, let him stay single.”
13 Then the people bring small children dem to him for him to bless them.* But the disciples started yelling at them.
14 But Jesus tell them say: “Let the small children dem come to me. Don’t try to stop them because the Kingdom that in heaven for people dem like this.”
15 He bless them and left from there.
16 Then somebody came to him and ask him: “Teacher, what good thing I must do to get everlasting life?”
17 He tell him say: “Why you asking me about the good thing you must do? That only God good. But if you want get life, continue obeying the commandments.”
18 He ask him: “Which one?” Jesus say: “You must not kill, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not bear false witness,
19 respect your ma and your pa, and you must love your neighbor the same way you love yourself.”
20 The young man tell him say: “I na do all this thing dem, wetin I still need to do?”
21 Jesus tell him say: “If you want be perfect, go sell your properties and give the money to the poor people. Then you will get good-good things in heaven, and come be my disciple.”
22 When the young man hear this one, he left from there feeling bad because he wor having plenty properties.
23 Then Jesus tell his disciples: “To tell yor the truth, it will be hard for rich person to enter the Kingdom that in heaven.
24 Let me tell yor again, it more easy for camel to pass through the hole that on the needle, than for rich person to enter the Kingdom that in heaven.”
25 When the disciple dem hear this one, they wor really surprise, and they say: “Who them can really be save?”
26 Jesus look in their face and say: “To human being it not possible, but to God everything possible.”
27 Then Peter tell him say: “We na leave everything behind to follow you, so wetin we will get for ourselves?”
28 Jesus tell them say: “To tell yor the truth, when God make everything new and the Son of man sit down on his wonderful throne, all of yor who follow me will sit down on 12 thrones, and judge the 12 tribes of Israel.
29 And anybody who na leave their houses, or brothers, or sisters or ma, or pa, or children, or land for my business will get hundred times more than what they left behind and also everlasting life.
30 “But plenty people who first will be last, and the last will be first.
