< Matthew 19 >

1 And it came to pass when finished Jesus words these, He withdrew from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the 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 followed Him crowds great, and He healed them there.
καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.
3 And came to Him (*k*) Pharisees testing Him and saying (to him: *k*) If is it lawful for a man to divorce the a wife of him for every cause?
Καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ Φαρισαῖοι πειράζοντες αὐτὸν καὶ λέγοντες Εἰ ἔξεστιν ἀπολῦσαι τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ κατὰ πᾶσαν αἰτίαν;
4 Which now answering He said (to them: *k*) Surely you have read that the [One] (created *N(K)O*) from [the] beginning male and female made them?
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν Οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε ὅτι ὁ κτίσας ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτοὺς
5 and said; On account of this will leave a man the father and the mother and (will be joined with *N(k)O*) the wife of him, and will become the two into flesh one’
καὶ εἶπεν Ἕνεκα τούτου καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα καὶ κολληθήσεται τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν;
6 so that no longer no longer are they two but flesh one. What therefore God united together, man not should separate.
ὥστε οὐκέτι εἰσὶν δύο ἀλλὰ σὰρξ μία. ὃ οὖν ὁ Θεὸς συνέζευξεν, ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω.
7 They say to Him; Why then Moses did command to give a roll of divorce and to send away her?
λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Τί οὖν Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο δοῦναι βιβλίον ἀποστασίου καὶ ἀπολῦσαι;
8 He says to them that Moses in view of the hardness of heart of you allowed you to divorce the wives of you; from [the] beginning however not was [it] this way.
λέγει αὐτοῖς Ὅτι Μωϋσῆς πρὸς τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν ἐπέτρεψεν ὑμῖν ἀπολῦσαι τὰς γυναῖκας ὑμῶν· ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς δὲ οὐ γέγονεν οὕτως.
9 I say now to you: that who[ever] maybe may divorce the wife of him (only *k*) except for sexual immorality and shall marry another, commits adultery. (and which divorced having married commits adultery. *KO*)
λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην, μοιχᾶται.
10 Say to Him the disciples of Him: If this is the case of the man with the wife, not it is better to marry.
λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί Εἰ οὕτως ἐστὶν ἡ αἰτία τοῦ ἀνθρώπου μετὰ τῆς γυναικός, οὐ συμφέρει γαμῆσαι.
11 And He said to them; Not all receive word this but only [those] to whom it has been given.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Οὐ πάντες χωροῦσιν τὸν λόγον τοῦτον ἀλλ’ οἷς δέδοται.
12 There are for eunuchs who from [the] womb of [their] mother were born thus, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. The [one] being able to receive [it] he should 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 brought *N(k)O*) to Him little children that the hands He may lay on them and He may pray; however the disciples rebuked them.
Τότε προσηνέχθησαν αὐτῷ παιδία, ἵνα τὰς χεῖρας ἐπιθῇ αὐτοῖς καὶ προσεύξηται· οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμησαν αὐτοῖς.
14 And Jesus said; do permit the little children and not do forbid them to come to Me; of the for of such kind is the kingdom of the heavens.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Ἄφετε τὰ παιδία καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτὰ ἐλθεῖν πρός με· τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.
15 And having laid the hands upon them He departed from there.
καὶ ἐπιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῖς ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖθεν.
16 And behold one having come to Him said: Teacher (good *K*) what good [thing] shall I do that (I may have *N(k)O*) life eternal? (aiōnios g166)
Καὶ ἰδοὺ εἷς προσελθὼν αὐτῷ εἶπεν Διδάσκαλε, τί ἀγαθὸν ποιήσω ἵνα σχῶ ζωὴν αἰώνιον; (aiōnios g166)
17 And He said to him; Why Me (you ask *N(k)O*) (about what is *no*) (good? *N(k)O*) (One *N(K)O*) (is *no*) good (only except one God. *K*) If however you desire into life to enter, (do keep *NK(o)*) the commandments.
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Τί με ἐρωτᾷς περὶ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ; εἷς ἐστιν ὁ ἀγαθός· εἰ δὲ θέλεις εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν, τήρει τὰς ἐντολάς.
18 He says to him; Which [commandments]? And Jesus (was speaking; *NK(o)*) Not will you murder, not will you commit adultery, not will you steal, not will you bear false witness,
λέγει αὐτῷ Ποίας; ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔφη Τὸ Οὐ φονεύσεις, Οὐ μοιχεύσεις, Οὐ κλέψεις, Οὐ ψευδομαρτυρήσεις,
19 do honor the father (of you *k*) and the mother, and you will love the neighbour of you as yourself.’
Τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα, καὶ Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.
20 Says to him the young man; All these (I have kept *N(k)O*) (from youth of me *K*) What yet do I lack?
λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ νεανίσκος Ταῦτα πάντα ἐφύλαξα· τί ἔτι ὑστερῶ;
21 Was saying to him Jesus; If you desire perfect to be, do go do sell of you possessions and do give (to the *no*) poor; and you will have treasure in ([the] heavens, *N(k)O*) and come do follow Me.
ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἰ θέλεις τέλειος εἶναι, ὕπαγε πώλησόν σου τὰ ὑπάρχοντα καὶ δὸς πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν οὐρανοῖς, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.
22 Having heard now the young man (this *ko*) statement he went away grieving; he was [one] for having possessions many.
ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ νεανίσκος τὸν λόγον ἀπῆλθεν λυπούμενος· ἦν γὰρ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά.
23 And Jesus said to the disciples of Him; Amen I say to you that a rich man with difficulty will enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πλούσιος δυσκόλως εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν.
24 Again now I say to you; easier for [it] is a camel through [the] (an eye *NK(o)*) of a needle (to go through *NK(o)*) than a rich man to enter into the kingdom (*NK(o)*) (of God. *NK(O)*)
πάλιν δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, εὐκοπώτερόν ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ τρήματος ῥαφίδος εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
25 Having heard now the disciples (of him *k*) were astonished exceedingly saying; Who then is able to be saved?
ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο σφόδρα λέγοντες Τίς ἄρα δύναται σωθῆναι;
26 Having looked on [them] now Jesus said to them; With men this impossible is, with however God all things [are] possible (is. *k*)
ἐμβλέψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Παρὰ ἀνθρώποις τοῦτο ἀδύνατόν ἐστιν, παρὰ δὲ Θεῷ πάντα δυνατά.
27 Then answering Peter said to Him; Behold we ourselves left all things and we followed You; what then will be to us?
Τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν πάντα καὶ ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι· τί ἄρα ἔσται ἡμῖν;
28 And Jesus said to them; Amen I say to you that you yourselves who having followed Me in the regeneration, when may sit down the Son of Man upon [the] throne of glory of Him, (will sit *N(k)O*) also (you yourselves *NK(O)*) on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὑμεῖς οἱ ἀκολουθήσαντές μοι, ἐν τῇ παλινγενεσίᾳ, ὅταν καθίσῃ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης αὐτοῦ, καθήσεσθε καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐπὶ δώδεκα θρόνους κρίνοντες τὰς δώδεκα φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
29 And everyone (who *N(k)O*) has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or (wife or *KO*) children or lands for the sake of name (of Me *NK(o)*) (a hundredfold *NK(O)*) will receive and life eternal will inherit. (aiōnios g166)
καὶ πᾶς ὅστις ἀφῆκεν οἰκίας ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ ἀδελφὰς ἢ πατέρα ἢ μητέρα ἢ τέκνα ἢ ἀγροὺς ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἐμοῦ ὀνόματός, πολλαπλασίονα λήμψεται καὶ ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσει. (aiōnios g166)
30 Many however will be first last, and last first.
Πολλοὶ δὲ ἔσονται πρῶτοι ἔσχατοι καὶ ἔσχατοι πρῶτοι.
