Matthew 19
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond 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 multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.
3 And there came unto him Pharisees, tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful [for a man] to put away his wife for every cause?
Καὶ προσῆλθον ⸀αὐτῷΦαρισαῖοι πειράζοντες αὐτὸν καὶ ⸀λέγοντες Εἰ ἔξεστιν ⸀ἀνθρώπῳἀπολῦσαι τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ κατὰ πᾶσαν αἰτίαν;
4 And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] from the beginning made them male and female,
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς ⸀εἶπεν Οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε ὅτι ὁ ⸀κτίσαςἀπʼ ἀρχῆς ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτοὺς
5 and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the twain shall become one flesh?
καὶ εἶπεν· ⸀Ἕνεκατούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ ⸀κολληθήσεταιτῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν;
6 So that they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
ὥστε οὐκέτι εἰσὶν δύο ἀλλὰ σὰρξ μία. ὃ οὖν ὁ θεὸς συνέζευξεν ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω.
7 They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away?
λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Τί οὖν Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο δοῦναι βιβλίον ἀποστασίου καὶ ἀπολῦσαι ⸀αὐτήν
8 He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so.
λέγει αὐτοῖς ὅτι Μωϋσῆς πρὸς τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν ἐπέτρεψεν ὑμῖν ἀπολῦσαι τὰς γυναῖκας ὑμῶν, ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς δὲ οὐ γέγονεν οὕτως.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.
λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ⸀ὅτιὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην μοιχᾶται ⸂καὶ ὁ ἀπολελυμένην γαμήσας μοιχᾶται.
10 The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.
Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ ⸀μαθηταί Εἰ οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ αἰτία τοῦ ἀνθρώπου μετὰ τῆς γυναικός, οὐ συμφέρει γαμῆσαι.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, but they to whom it is given.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐ πάντες χωροῦσι τὸν λόγον ⸀τοῦτονἀλλʼ οἷς δέδοται.
12 For there are eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, which were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, which made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. 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 were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
Τότε ⸀προσηνέχθησαναὐτῷ παιδία ἵνα τὰς χεῖρας ἐπιθῇ αὐτοῖς καὶ προσεύξηται· οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμησαν αὐτοῖς.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν· Ἄφετε τὰ παιδία καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτὰ ἐλθεῖν πρός με, τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
καὶ ἐπιθεὶς ⸂τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῖς ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν.
16 And behold, one came to him and said, Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Καὶ ἰδοὺ εἷς προσελθὼν ⸂αὐτῷ εἶπεν· ⸀Διδάσκαλε τί ἀγαθὸν ποιήσω ἵνα ⸀σχῶζωὴν αἰώνιον; (aiōnios g166)
17 And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Τί με ⸂ἐρωτᾷς περὶ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ; εἷς ἐστιν ὁ ἀγαθός· εἰ δὲ θέλεις ⸂εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν, ⸀τήρησοντὰς ἐντολάς.
18 He saith unto 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 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 καὶ τὴν μητέρα, καὶ Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet?
λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ νεανίσκος· ⸂Πάντα ταῦτα ⸀ἐφύλαξα τί ἔτι ὑστερῶ;
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that 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 ⸀δὸςπτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν ⸀οὐρανοῖς καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.
22 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.
ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ νεανίσκος τὸν ⸀λόγονἀπῆλθεν λυπούμενος, ἦν γὰρ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά.
23 And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
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 go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
πάλιν δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, εὐκοπώτερόν ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ ⸀τρυπήματοςῥαφίδος ⸀εἰσελθεῖνἢ πλούσιον ⸂εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.
25 And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved?
ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ ⸀μαθηταὶἐξεπλήσσοντο σφόδρα λέγοντες· Τίς ἄρα δύναται σωθῆναι;
26 And Jesus looking upon [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.
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?
Τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι· τί ἄρα ἔσται ἡμῖν;
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon 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, ⸀καθήσεσθεκαὶ ⸀ὑμεῖςἐπὶ δώδεκα θρόνους κρίνοντες τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
29 And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
καὶ πᾶς ⸀ὅστιςἀφῆκεν ⸂οἰκίας ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ ἀδελφὰς ἢ πατέρα ἢ μητέρα ἢ ⸂γυναῖκα ἢ τέκνα ἢ ⸀ἀγροὺςἕνεκεν τοῦ ⸂ὀνόματός μου, ⸀ἑκατονταπλασίοναλήμψεται καὶ ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσει. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many shall be last [that are] first; and first [that are] last.
πολλοὶ δὲ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι καὶ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι.
