Matthew 19
1 And when Jesus had ended these discourses, he removed from Galilee, and came to the confines of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, he removed from Galilee and came into the bounds of Judaea beyond the Jordan.
2 And great multitudes followed after him, and he healed them there.
And there followed him large multitudes, and he cured them there.
3 And Pharisees came to him, and tempted him and said: Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?
And there came unto him Pharisees, testing him, and saying, —Whether is it allowed a man to divorce his wife, for every cause?
4 And he answered and said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made them at the beginning, made them a male and a female?
And, he, answering, said—Did ye never read—He who created at the beginning, Male and female, made them, —
5 And he said: For this reason, a man shall leave his father and his mother, and adhere to his wife; and they two shall be one flesh.
and said—For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and be united to his wife, —and, the two, will become, one flesh;
6 Wherefore they were not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath united, let not man sunder.
So that, the longer, are they, two, but, one flesh, What, therefore, God, hath yoked together, Let not, a man, put asunder.
7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put her away?
They say unto him—Why then did, Moses, command, to give a writing of repudiation and to divorce?
8 He said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to divorce your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
He saith unto them—Moses, in view of your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives; From the beginning however, hath it not been done, thus.
9 And I say to you, That whoever leaveth his wife not being an adulteress, and taketh another, committeth adultery. And whoever taketh her that is divorced, committeth adultery.
And I say unto you—Whosoever shall divorce his wife, saving for unfaithfulness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery.
10 His disciples say to him: If such is the case between man and wife, it is not expedient to take a wife.
The disciples say unto him—If, so, is the cause of the husband with the wife, it is not expedient to marry.
11 But he said to them: Not every one is capable of that thing, but he only to whom it is given.
But, he, said unto them—Not all, find room for he word, save they to whom it hath been given;
12 For there are some eunuchs, born so from their mother's womb; and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are some eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can be contented let him be contented.
For there, are, eunuchs, who, from their mother’s womb, were born so, and there, are, eunuchs, who were made eunuchs, by men, —and there, are, eunuchs, who have made, themselves, eunuchs, for the sake the kingdom of the heavens: He that is able to find room, let him find room.
13 Then they brought children to him, that he might lay his hand upon them and pray. And his disciples rebuked them.
Then, were brought unto him children, —that he might lay his hands upon them, and pray. And, the disciples, rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said to them: Allow children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those that are like them is the kingdom of heaven.
But, Jesus, said—Suffer the children—and do not hinder them—to come unto me, —for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens.
15 And he laid his hand upon them, and departed from there.
And, laying his hands upon them, he went his way from thence.
16 And one came, drew near, and said to him: Good Teacher, what good thing must I do, that eternal life may be mine? (aiōnios g166)
And lo! one coming near unto him, said, Teacher! what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
17 And he said to him: Why callest thou me good? There is none good, except one, namely, God. But if thou wouldst enter into life, keep the commandments.
And, he, said unto him—Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments.
18 He said to him, Which? And Jesus said to him: Thou shalt not kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not bear false testimony;
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said—These: Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, —Thou shalt not bear false witness;
19 and honor thy father and thy mother; and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Honour thy father and thy mother, —and—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself.
20 The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my childhood. What do I lack?
The young man saith unto him—These all, have I kept, —What, further, do I lack?
21 Jesus saith to him: If thou desirest to be perfect, go, sell thy property, and give to the poor; and there shall be for thee a treasure in heaven; and come thou after me.
Jesus said unto him—If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me.
22 And the young man heard that speech, and he went away in sadness; for he had much property.
And the young man, hearing, this word, went away sorrowing, —for he was holding large possessions.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, it is difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
And, Jesus, said unto his disciples—Verily, I say unto you, A rich man, with difficulty, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
24 And again, I say to you: It is easier for a camel to enter the aperture of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God
Again I say unto you—Easier, is it for, a camel, through the eye of a needle, to enter, than a rich man—into the kingdom of God.
25 And when the disciples heard it, they wondered greatly, and said: Who then can attain to life!
And, hearing it, the disciples were being struck with the greatest astonishment, saying—Who then can be saved?
26 Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men this is not practicable, but with God every thing is practicable.
And, looking intently, Jesus said unto them—With men, this is, impossible, but, with God, all things are possible.
27 Then answered Cephas, and said to him: Lo, we have forsaken every thing, and come after thee: What therefore shall we receive?
Then, making answer, Peter said unto him—Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee, —What then shall there be, for us?
28 Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that, as for you who have followed me, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory in the new world, ye also shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
And, Jesus, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you, As for you who followed me in the regeneration, When the Son of Man shall take his seat on his throne of glory, ye also, shall be seated upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every man that relinquisheth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
And, whosoever left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for sake of my name, manifold, shall receive, and life, age-abiding, shall inherit. (aiōnios g166)
30 But there are many first who shall be last, and last who shall be first.
But many shall be—first-last, and last-first.
