Matthew 19
1 It happened when Yeshua had finished these words, he departed from Galil, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had ended these sayings, he removed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea, beyond the Jordan.
2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 And Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying to him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife for any reason?"
And the Pharisees came to him, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 He answered, and said, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,
And he answering said, Have ye not read, that he who made them at the beginning, made them male and female?
5 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?'
And He said: “For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.”
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce, and divorce her?"
They say to him, Why then did Moses ordain that a man may give his wife a writing of divorcement, and put her away?
8 He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
He saith to them, Moses, on account of your hardness of heart, allowed you m put away your wives; but in the beginning it was not so.
9 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."
And I say to you, Whoever putteth away his wife, except for fornication, and marrieth another, committeth adultery.
10 The talmidim said to him, "If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is not expedient to marry."
The disciples say to him, If such be the case of a man with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
But he said to them, All cannot receive this saying, but they only to whom it is given.
12 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."
For there are eunuchs, who were so born 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 sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the talmidim rebuked them.
Then there were brought to him children, that be might lay his hands on them, and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 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."
But Jesus said to them, Suffer the children, and forbid them not to come to me; for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.
15 He placed his hands on them, and departed from there.
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 And look, someone came to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing must I do, that I may have everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
And lo! one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
17 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."
And he said to him, Why dost thou ask me concerning what is good? There is but one who is good. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He said to him, "Which ones?" And Yeshua said, "'Do not murder.' 'Do not commit adultery.' 'Do not steal.' 'Do not offer false testimony.'
Which? saith he. And Jesus said, These: “Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;
19 'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Honor thy father and thy mother;” and, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
20 The young man said to him, "All these things I have kept. What do I still lack?"
The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept; in what am I still wanting?
21 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."
Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
But the young man, on hearing this went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 Yeshua said to his talmidim, "Truly I say to you, it is difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, Truly do I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 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."
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 the kingdom of heaven.
25 When the talmidim heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
And the disciples, hearing this, were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Looking at them, Yeshua said, "With humans this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
But Jesus, fixing his eyes on them, said, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Then Peter answered, "Look, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"
Then Peter answering said to him, Lo! we left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?
28 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 Israel.
And Jesus said to them, Truly do I say to you, that, in the renovation when the Son of man sitteth on the throne of his glory, ye who have followed me shall also yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 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)
And every one who hath left brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, or houses, for the sake of my name, will receive many fold more, and will inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
