Matthew 19
1 It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
And when Jesus had finished these discourses, He departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond Jordan:
2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
and great multitudes followed Him, and there He healed them.
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 to ensnare Him, and asked Him, whether it was 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 answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He, who made them at first, made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
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 be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh:
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no one separate."
so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. And therefore what God hath 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 unto Him, Why then did Moses order a bill of divorce to be given, and so to 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 answered them, Moses because of your hardheartedness, permitted you to put away your wives; but it was not so from the beginning:
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 tell you, that whosoever putteth away his wife, except for whoredom, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and he that marrieth her so put away committeth adultery.
10 The disciples said to him, "If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is not expedient to marry."
His disciples say unto Him, if the case of a man with his wife be thus, it is not adviseable to marry:
11 But he said to them, "Not everyone can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
but He said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying of yours, but those only who have the gift of continence:
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 some eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb; and there be some, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can receive this saying, let him receive it.
13 Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
Then were brought to Him little children, that He might put his hands upon them, and bless them: and the disciples rebuked them;
14 But Jesus 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, Suffer the children to come to me, and do not hinder them: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 He placed his hands on them, and departed from there.
And when He had laid his hands on them, he 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 behold, there came one to Him, and said, Good master, what good shall I do, that I may have eternal 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 unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou desirest to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "'Do not murder.' 'Do not commit adultery.' 'Do not steal.' 'Do not offer false testimony.'
He saith unto Him, Which? And Jesus answered, Thou shalt do no murther, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and mother;
19 'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self.
20 The young man said to him, "All these things I have kept. What do I still lack?"
The young man saith unto Him, All these have I kept from my youth: wherein am I yet deficient?
21 Jesus 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 replied, If thou wouldst be perfect, go, sell thy estate, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
But when the young man heard that, he went away sorrowful; for he had large possessions.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I tell you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into 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 tell you, It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
His disciples, when they heard this, were exceedingly struck, and said, Who then can be saved?
26 Looking at them, Jesus said, "With humans this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
But Jesus looking upon them said unto them, 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 replied and said unto Him, Behold we have quitted all and have followed thee; what then shall we have?
28 Jesus 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 unto them, Verily I tell you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon the 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)
yea and every one who hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, shall receive an hundred-fold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.
