Comments
The Pharisees were trying to trick Jesus because of two controversies. One is the Potestas of the natural father within the family verses the conscripted fathers of the state as the Patronus or Father of the earth.
But also the general breakdown of the family caused by the Corban of the Pharisees which was making the word of God to none effect.
The same covetous practices of Social Security has been eating away at the natural family since FDR and certainly LBJ's Great Society.
This chapter is about the Family which is the primary institution of God and His Kingdom of God. There is no advocacy of celibacy nor becoming a Eunuch but also there is no stigma attached to it.
Jesus goes on to point out the importance of Children protected by the community but belonging to that Family.
The Doctrines of Jesus concerning eternal life emphasizes our conformity to keeping the commandments
The rich man wanted more than the eternal life and Jesus goes on talking about what he expects from those who were disciples and would be ordained the ministers of the called out of His kingdom.
Jesus had said from the beginning he was going to take the kingdom from the Pharisees for their Corban and lack of fruit and failing to attend to the weightier matters and appoint it to His Little flock, His ekklesia
His ekklesia was to be His Church who would organize the people in free assemblies of tens so that they could provide the people with a daily ministration of Faith, Hope, and Charity through Pure Religion rather than the public religion of the Benefactors who exercise authority.
Of course the governments of the world offered free bread and a system of welfare that operated by force, fear, and fealty but John the Baptist and all the Prophets warned about an appetite for those benefits that were the wages of unrighteousness.
The prophets, Jesus, the Apostles were all warning that if we were slothful in the ways of His righteousness we would return to the bondage of Egypt go under tribute and become merchandise and curse children because of those covetous practices which have always been sin from Cain to Nimrod. To go that way is the way of Babylon, the error of Balaam and the deeds of the Nicolaitan and it is the opposite way of Christ.

[1] And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; [2] And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

[3] The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? [4] And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, [5] And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? [6] Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. [7] They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? [8] He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. [9] And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. [10] His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. [11] But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. [12] For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

[13] Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. [14] But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. [15] And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

[16] And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? [17] And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. [18] He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, [19] Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [20] The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? [21] Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. [22] But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

[23] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. [24] And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [25] When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? [26] But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. [27] Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? [28] And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [29] And every one that hath forsaken houses, 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 inherit everlasting life. [30] But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
