Matthew 19
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, he removed from Galilee and came into the bounds of Judaea beyond the Jordan.
And it came to pass, that when Yahushua had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
2 And there followed him large multitudes, and he cured them there.
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 And there came unto him Pharisees, testing him, and saying, —Whether is it allowed a man to divorce his wife, for every cause?
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And, he, answering, said—Did ye never read—He who created at the beginning, Male and female, made them, —
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 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;
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 So that, the longer, are they, two, but, one flesh, What, therefore, God, hath yoked together, Let not, a man, put asunder.
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore Elohim hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him—Why then did, Moses, command, to give a writing of repudiation and to divorce?
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 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.
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you—Whosoever shall divorce his wife, saving for unfaithfulness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery.
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 The disciples say unto him—If, so, is the cause of the husband with the wife, it is not expedient to marry.
His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But, he, said unto them—Not all, find room for he word, save they to whom it hath been given;
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 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.
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Then, were brought unto him children, —that he might lay his hands upon them, and pray. And, the disciples, rebuked them.
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But, Jesus, said—Suffer the children—and do not hinder them—to come unto me, —for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens.
But Yahushua said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 And, laying his hands upon them, he went his way from thence.
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 And lo! one coming near unto him, said, Teacher! what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Rabbi, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 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.
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, Elohim: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 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;
He saith unto him, Which? Yahushua said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother, —and—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself.
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him—These all, have I kept, —What, further, do I lack?
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 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.
Yahushua said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 And the young man, hearing, this word, went away sorrowing, —for he was holding large possessions.
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 And, Jesus, said unto his disciples—Verily, I say unto you, A rich man, with difficulty, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Then said Yahushua unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 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.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of Elohim.
25 And, hearing it, the disciples were being struck with the greatest astonishment, saying—Who then can be saved?
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 And, looking intently, Jesus said unto them—With men, this is, impossible, but, with God, all things are possible.
But Yahushua beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with Elohim all things are possible.
27 Then, making answer, Peter said unto him—Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee, —What then shall there be, for us?
Then answered Kepha and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 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.
And Yahushua said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 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)
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many shall be—first-last, and last-first.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
