Matthew 19

Concerning Divorce

1

 aWheng3753 Jesusg2424 had finishedg5055 theseg3778 wordsg3056, He departedg3332 from Galileeg1056 and  bcameg2064 into the regiong3725 of Judeag2453 beyondg4008 the Jordang2446;

2

and  1largeg4183 crowdsg3793 followedg190 Him, and  aHe healedg2323 them thereg1563.

3

Some Phariseesg5330 cameg4334 to  1Jesus, testingg3985 Him and askingg3004, " aIs it lawfulg1832 for a man to  2divorceg630 his wifeg1135 for anyg3956 reasong156 at allg3956?"

4

And He answeredg611 and saidg3004, "Have you not readg314  athat He who createdg2936 them from the beginningg746 MADEg4160 THEM MALEg733b AND FEMALEg2338,

5

and saidg3004, ` aFOR THISg3778 REASONg1752a A MANg444 SHALL LEAVEg2641 HIS FATHERg3962 AND MOTHERg3384 AND BE JOINEDg2853 TO HIS WIFEg1135, AND  bTHE TWOg1417 SHALL BECOMEg1510g1519 ONEg1520 FLESHg4561'?

6

"Sog5620 they are nog3765 longerg3765 twog1417, but oneg1520 fleshg4561. Whatg3739 thereforeg3767 Godg2316 has joinedg4801 togetherg4801, let nog3361 mang444 separateg5563."

7

They *saidg3004 to Him, " aWhyg5101 theng3767 did Mosesg3475 commandg1781 to GIVEg1325 HER A CERTIFICATEg975 OF DIVORCEg647 AND SENDg630 her AWAYg630?"

8

He *saidg3004 to them, "Becauseg4314 of your hardnessg4641 of heartg4641 Mosesg3475 permittedg2010 you to  1divorceg630 your wivesg1135; but from the beginningg746 it has not beeng1096 thisg3779 wayg3779.

9

"And I sayg3004 to you,  awhoeverg3739g302  1divorcesg630 his wifeg1135, exceptg3361 for  2immoralityg4202, and marriesg1060 anotherg243 womang243  3commitsg3429 adulteryg3429 4."

10

The disciplesg3101 *saidg3004 to Him, "Ifg1487 the relationshipg156 of the mang444 with his wifeg1135 is likeg3779 thisg3779, it is betterg4851a not to marryg1060."

11

But He saidg3004 to them, aNot allg3956 meng3956 can acceptg5562 thisg3778 statementg3056, but  bonly those to whomg3739 it has been giveng1325.

12

"For there are eunuchsg2135 whog3748 were borng1080 that wayg3779 from their mother'sg3384 wombg2836; and there are eunuchsg2135 whog3748 were madeg2134 eunuchsg2134 by meng444; and there are also eunuchsg2135 whog3748 madeg2134 themselvesg1438 eunuchsg2134 for the sakeg1223 of the kingdomg932 of heaveng3772. He who is ableg1410 to acceptg5562 this, let him acceptg5562 it."

Jesus Blesses Little Children

13

 aTheng5119 some childreng3813 were broughtg4374 to Him sog2443 that He might layg2007 His handsg5495 on them and prayg4336; and the disciplesg3101 rebukedg2008 them.

14

But Jesusg2424 saidg3004, 1 aLetg863 the childreng3813 aloneg863, and do not hinderg2967 them from comingg2064 to Me; for  bthe kingdomg932 of heaveng3772 belongsg1510 to suchg5108 as theseg5108."

15

After layingg2007 His handsg5495 on them, He departedg4198 from thereg1564.

The Rich Young Ruler

16

 aAnd someoneg1520 cameg4334 to Him and saidg3004, "Teacherg1320, whatg5101 goodg18 thingg18 shall I dog4160 that I may obtaing2192  beternalg166 lifeg2222?"

17

And He saidg3004 to him, "Whyg5101 are you askingg2065 Me aboutg4012 whatg3588 is goodg18? There is only Oneg1520 who is goodg18; but  aifg1487 you wishg2309 to enterg1525 into lifeg2222, keepg5083 the commandmentsg1785."

18

Then he *saidg3004 to Him, "Whichg4169 onesg4169?" And Jesusg2424 saidg5346, aYOU SHALL NOT COMMITg5407 MURDERg5407; YOU SHALL NOT COMMITg3431 ADULTERYg3431; YOU SHALL NOT STEALg2813; YOU SHALL NOT BEARg5576 FALSEg5576 WITNESSg5576;

19

 aHONORg5091 YOUR FATHERg3962 AND MOTHERg3384; and  bYOU SHALL LOVEg25 YOUR NEIGHBORg4139 AS YOURSELFg4572."

20

The youngg3495 mang3495 *saidg3004 to Him, "Allg3956 theseg3778 thingsg3778 I have keptg5442; whatg5101 amg5302 I stillg2089 lackingg5302?"

21

Jesusg2424 saidg5346 to him, "Ifg1487 you wishg2309 to be  1completeg5046, gog5217 and  asellg4453 your possessionsg5225 and giveg1325 to the poorg4434, and you will haveg2192  btreasureg2344 in heaveng3772; and comeg1204, followg190 Me."

22

But when the youngg3495 mang3495 heardg191 thisg3778 statementg3056, he wentg565 awayg565 grievingg3076; for he was one who ownedg2192 muchg4183 propertyg2933.

23

And Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to His disciplesg3101, "Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you,  ait is hardg1423 for a richg4145 mang4145 to enterg1525 the kingdomg932 of heaveng3772.

24

"Againg3825 I sayg3004 to you,  ait is easierg2123 for a camelg2574 to go throughg1223 the eyeg5144a of a needleg4476, thang2228 for a richg4145 mang4145 to enterg1525 the kingdomg932 of Godg2316."

25

When the disciplesg3101 heardg191 this, they were veryg4970 astonishedg1605 and saidg3004, "Theng686 whog5101 cang1410 be savedg4982?"

26

And lookingg1689 at them Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, aWith peopleg444 thisg3778 is impossibleg102, but with Godg2316 allg3956 thingsg3956 are possibleg1415."

The Disciples' Reward

27

Theng5119 Peterg4074 saidg3004 to Him, "Beholdg2400, we have leftg863 everythingg3956 and followedg190 You; whatg5101 theng686 will there be for us?"

28

And Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, "Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you, that you who have followedg190 Me, in the regenerationg3824 wheng3752  athe Song5207 of Mang444 will sitg2523 on  1His gloriousg1391 throneg2362,  byou alsog2532 shall sitg2521 upon twelveg1427 thronesg2362, judgingg2919 the twelveg1427 tribesg5443 of Israelg2474.

29

"And  aeveryoneg3956 whog3748 has leftg863 housesg3614 org2228 brothersg80 org2228 sistersg79 org2228 fatherg3962 org2228 motherg3384  1org2228 childreng5043 org2228 farmsg68 for My name'sg3686 sakeg1752a, will receiveg2983  2manyg4179 timesg4179 as muchg4179, and will inheritg2816 eternalg166 lifeg2222.

aBut manyg4183 who are firstg4413 will be lastg2078; and the lastg2078, firstg4413.
