Matthew 19
1 It came about after Jesus had finished these teachings, that he removed from Galilee, and went to that part of Judea which lay across the Jordan.
It happened when Yeshua had finished these words, he departed from Galila, and came into the borders of Yehuda beyond the Yurdinan.
2 A great multitude followed him, and he healed them there.
Great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Presently some of the Pharisees came up to him, and made test of him by asking, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?"
And Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying to him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife for any reason?"
4 "Have you not read." he answered, "that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said,
He answered, and said, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
5 "For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall be one flesh?
and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?'
6 "Thus they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
7 They answered, "Why then did Moses command the husband to give her’a written bill of divorce,’ and so to put her away?"
They asked him, "Why then did Mushe command us to give her a certificate of divorce, and divorce her?"
8 "Moses," said Jesus, "permitted you to divorce your wives on account of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning it was not so.
He said to them, "Mushe, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 "And I tell you that any man who divorces his wife for any cause except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery. And he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery."
10 "If that is the position of a man in relation to his wife," answered the disciples, "it is better not to marry."
The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is not expedient to marry."
11 He answered them. "Not all are accepting this teaching, but only those to whom it has been granted.
But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12 "For there are eunuchs who have been such from birth; others who have been made such by men; and others who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of God. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."
13 Then young children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples interfered, but Jesus said to them.
Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 "Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not; for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs."
But Yeshua said, "Allow the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to ones like these."
15 So he laid his hands upon them, and departed from that place.
He placed his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 But look! a certain man came up to him and asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
And look, someone came to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing must I do, that I may have everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?" asked Jesus. "There is but One who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? No one is good but one. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
18 "Which commandments?" asked the man. Jesus replied. "Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;
He said to him, "Which ones?" And Yeshua said, "'Do not murder.' 'Do not commit adultery.' 'Do not steal.' 'Do not offer false testimony.'
19 "Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
20 The young man answered. "I have carefully kept them all. What yet do I lack?"
The young man said to him, "All these things I have kept. What do I still lack?"
21 "If you want to be perfect," said Jesus, "go, sell your property, give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
Yeshua said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 But when the young man heard this teaching, he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had much property.
But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 So Jesus said to his disciples. "In solemn truth I tell you that a rich man will find it difficult to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Yeshua said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 "I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
25 When they heard this the disciples were utterly astounded. "Who then can be saved?" they exclaimed. Jesus looked at them.
When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
26 "With men this is impossible," he said, "but with God all things are possible."
Looking at them, Yeshua said, "With humans this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
27 Whereupon Peter said to Jesus. "Look, Master, we have forsaken everything and followed you. Now what shall be our reward?"
Then Kipha answered, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"
28 "In solemn truth I tell you," Jesus answered, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, to govern the twelve tribes of Israel.
Yeshua said to them, "Truly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israyel.
29 "And every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake, shall many times as much, and fall heir to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
30 "But many who are first shall be last, and many who are last shall be first.
But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
