< Matthew 19 >
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοὺς λόγους τούτους, μετῆρεν ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια τῆς Ἰουδαίας πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.
2 and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.
3 And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ (οἱ *k*) Φαρισαῖοι πειράζοντες αὐτὸν καὶ λέγοντες (αὐτῷ· *k*) εἰ ἔξεστιν ἀνθρώπῳ ἀπολῦσαι τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ κατὰ πᾶσαν αἰτίαν;
4 But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν (αὐτοῖς· *k*) οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε ὅτι ὁ (κτίσας *N(K)O*) ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς;
5 and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
καὶ εἶπεν· ἕνεκα τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ (κολληθήσεται *N(k)O*) τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν
6 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
ὥστε οὐκέτι οὐκέτι εἰσὶν δύο ἀλλὰ σὰρξ μία. ὃ οὖν ὁ θεὸς συνέζευξεν, ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω.
7 They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?
Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· τί οὖν Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο δοῦναι βιβλίον ἀποστασίου καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν;
8 He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.
Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὅτι Μωϋσῆς πρὸς τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν ἐπέτρεψεν ὑμῖν ἀπολῦσαι τὰς γυναῖκας ὑμῶν· ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς δὲ οὐ γέγονεν οὕτως.
9 But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.
Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν· ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ (εἰ *k*) μὴ ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην, μοιχᾶται. (καὶ ὁ ἀπολελυμένην γαμήσας μοιχᾶται. *KO*)
10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ· εἰ οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ αἰτία τοῦ ἀνθρώπου μετὰ τῆς γυναικός, οὐ συμφέρει γαμῆσαι.
11 And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὐ πάντες χωροῦσιν τὸν λόγον τοῦτον ἀλλ᾽ οἷς δέδοται.
12 for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
εἰσὶν γὰρ εὐνοῦχοι οἵτινες ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς ἐγεννήθησαν οὕτως, καὶ εἰσὶν εὐνοῦχοι οἵτινες εὐνουχίσθησαν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ εἰσὶν εὐνοῦχοι οἵτινες εὐνούχισαν ἑαυτοὺς διὰ τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. ὁ δυνάμενος χωρεῖν χωρείτω.
13 Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
Τότε (προσηνέχθησαν *N(k)O*) αὐτῷ παιδία ἵνα τὰς χεῖρας ἐπιθῇ αὐτοῖς καὶ προσεύξηται· οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμησαν αὐτοῖς.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· ἄφετε τὰ παιδία καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτὰ ἐλθεῖν πρός με· τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.
15 and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
καὶ ἐπιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῖς ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν.
16 And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal? (aiōnios )
Καὶ ἰδοὺ εἷς προσελθὼν αὐτῷ εἶπεν· διδάσκαλε (ἀγαθέ, *K*) τί ἀγαθὸν ποιήσω ἵνα (σχῶ *N(k)O*) ζωὴν αἰώνιον; (aiōnios )
17 And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τί με (ἐρωτᾷς *N(k)O*) (περὶ τοῦ *no*) (ἀγαθοῦ; *N(k)O*) (εἷς *N(K)O*) (ἐστιν ὁ *no*) ἀγαθός (εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεός. *K*) εἰ δὲ θέλεις εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν, (τήρησον *NK(o)*) τὰς ἐντολάς.
18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Λέγει αὐτῷ· ποίας; ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς (εἶπεν· *NK(o)*) τὸ οὐ φονεύσεις, οὐ μοιχεύσεις, οὐ κλέψεις, οὐ ψευδομαρτυρήσεις,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
τίμα τὸν πατέρα (σου *k*) καὶ τὴν μητέρα, καὶ ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.
20 The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ νεανίσκος· πάντα ταῦτα (ἐφύλαξα *N(k)O*) (ἐκ νεότητός μου, *K*) τί ἔτι ὑστερῶ;
21 Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ θέλεις τέλειος εἶναι, ὕπαγε πώλησόν σου τὰ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ δὸς (τοῖς *no*) πτωχοῖς· καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν (οὐρανοῖς, *N(k)O*) καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.
22 But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
Ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ νεανίσκος τὸν (τοῦτον *ko*) λόγον ἀπῆλθεν λυπούμενος· ἦν γὰρ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πλούσιος δυσκόλως εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν.
24 and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.
Πάλιν δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν· εὐκοπώτερόν ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ (τρυπήματος *NK(o)*) ῥαφίδος (διελθεῖν *NK(o)*) ἢ πλούσιον εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν (τοῦ *NK(o)*) (θεοῦ. *NK(O)*)
25 And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?
Ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ (αὐτοῦ *k*) ἐξεπλήσσοντο σφόδρα λέγοντες· τίς ἄρα δύναται σωθῆναι;
26 But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
ἐμβλέψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· παρὰ ἀνθρώποις τοῦτο ἀδύνατόν ἐστιν, παρὰ δὲ θεῷ πάντα δυνατά (ἐστίν. *k*)
27 Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?
Τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι· τί ἄρα ἔσται ἡμῖν;
28 And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὑμεῖς οἱ ἀκολουθήσαντές μοι ἐν τῇ παλιγγενεσίᾳ, ὅταν καθίσῃ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης αὐτοῦ, (καθήσεσθε *N(k)O*) καὶ (ὑμεῖς *NK(O)*) ἐπὶ δώδεκα θρόνους κρίνοντες τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
29 And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal. (aiōnios )
Καὶ πᾶς (ὅστις *N(k)O*) ἀφῆκεν οἰκίας ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ ἀδελφὰς ἢ πατέρα ἢ μητέρα ἢ (γυναῖκα ἢ *KO*) τέκνα ἢ ἀγροὺς ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός (μου, *NK(o)*) (ἑκατονταπλασίονα *NK(O)*) λήμψεται καὶ ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσει. (aiōnios )
30 But many first shall be last, and last first.
Πολλοὶ δὲ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι, καὶ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι.
