< Matthew 19 >

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, He removed from Galilee, and came to the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan,
AND it was that when Jeshu had finished these words, he removed from Galila and came into the confines of Jehud beyond Jurdan.
2 and great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.
And great multitudes came after him, and he healed them there.
3 And the Pharisees came near to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?”
And the Pharishee approached him, and, tempting him, propounded to him whether it was lawful for a man to send away his wife for every cause.
4 And He answering said to them, “Did you not read that He who made [them] from the beginning, made them a male and a female,
But he answered and said to them, Have you not read that He who created from the beginning, male and female hath made them?
5 and said, For this cause will a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they will be—the two—for one flesh?
And he said, On this account a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh; what therefore God joined together, let no man separate.”
Wherefore they were not two, but one body. That, therefore, which Aloha hath conjoined, man shall not separate.
7 They say to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a roll of divorce, and to put her away?”
They said to him, Why then did Musha direct that he should give a writing of dismissal and send her away?
8 He says to them, “Moses for your stiffness of heart permitted you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
He said to them, Musha, on account of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to send away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say to you that whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, commits adultery; and he who married her that has been put away, commits adultery.”
And I say to you that whosoever shall forsake his wife who is not adulterous, and take another, committeth adultery; and whosoever taketh the deserted one, committeth adultery.
10 His disciples say to Him, “If the case of the man with the woman is so, it is not good to marry.”
His disciples say to him, If thus be the case between the man and the woman, it is not expedient to take a wife.
11 And He said to them, “All do not receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
But he said to them, Not every man is sufficient for this doctrine, but he to whom it is given.
12 for there are eunuchs who from the mother’s womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens: he who is able to receive [it]—let him receive.”
For there are some eunuchs who from their mother's womb are born so; and there are some eunuchs who by men are made eunuchs; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs on account of the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever is capable of receiving (this), let him receive (it).
13 Then were brought near to Him children that He might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them.
Then they brought to him children, that he should put his hand upon them and pray. And his disciples forbad them.
14 But Jesus said, “Permit the children, and do not forbid them to come to Me, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens”;
But Jeshu himself said, Suffer children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these, is the kingdom of heaven.
15 and having laid [His] hands on them, He departed from there.
And he put his hand upon them, and went thence.
16 And behold, one having come near, said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing will I do that I may have continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
AND one came and approached and said to him, Good teacher, what of good shall I do, that I may have the life of eternity? (aiōnios g166)
17 And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good except one—God; but if you will to enter into life, keep the commands.”
But he said to him, Why dost thou call me good? none is good but one, Aloha. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He says to Him, “What kind?” And Jesus said, “You will not murder, You will not commit adultery, You will not steal, You will not bear false witness,
He said to him, Which? Jeshu answered him, Thou shalt not kill, neither commit adultery, nor steal, neither shalt thou witness false testimony;
19 Honor your father and mother, and, You will love your neighbor as yourself.”
and honour thy father and thy mother, and love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man says to Him, “All these I kept from my youth; what yet do I lack?”
The young man saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood: how am I deficient?
21 Jesus said to him, “If you will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me.”
Jeshu saith to him, If thou wilt become perfect, go, sell thy possession and give to the poor, and there shall be for thee a treasure in heaven: and come after me.
22 And the young man, having heard the word, went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions;
But he, the young man, heard this word, and went away with sadness, for he had great property.
23 and Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you that hardly will a rich man enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
But Jeshu said to his disciples, Amen I say unto you, that it is difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 and again I say to 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.”
Again I say to you, that it is easier for a camel to enter through the aperture of a needle, than the rich to enter into the kingdom of Aloha.
25 And His disciples having heard, were exceedingly amazed, saying, “Who, then, is able to be saved?”
But the disciples when they heard were greatly hurt, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Jeshu, beholding them, said, With the sons of men it is not possible; but with Aloha every thing is possible.
27 Then Peter answering said to Him, “Behold, we left all, and followed You, what then will we have?”
THEN answered Kipha and said to him, Behold, we have abandoned every thing, and have come after thee: what then shall there be for us?
28 And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that you who followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit on a throne of His glory, will sit—you also—on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;
Jeshu saith to them, Amen I say to you, that you who have come after me, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Isroel.
29 and everyone who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for My Name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
And every man who hath relinquished houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, on account of my name, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit the life of eternity, (aiōnios g166)
30 and many first will be last, and last first.”
Many however are first who shall be last, and the last first.
