Matthew 19

Teaching About Divorce
Mk 10:1–12
1#Jn 10:40Now when Jesus finished these sayings, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2#Mt 12:15Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3#Jn 8:6The Pharisees also came to Him, tempting Him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4#Ge 1:27; 5:2He answered, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’#Ge 1:27; 5:2. 5#1Co 6:16; Eph 5:31and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’#Ge 2:24.? 6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man put asunder.”
7#Dt 24:1–4; Mt 5:31They said to Him, “Then why did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to send her away?”#Dt 24:1–4.
8#Ge 2:24He said to them, “Moses, for the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9#Mt 5:32; 1Co 7:39; Lk 16:18But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
10His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
11#1Co 7:17; Mt 13:11But He said to them, “Not all men can receive this precept, but only those to whom it is given. 12For there are some eunuchs who have been so from birth, there are some eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are some eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it.”
Little Children Blessed
Mk 10:13–16; Lk 18:15–17
13Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.
14#Mt 18:3; Lk 18:16–17But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them. For to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” 15He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
The Rich Young Man
Mk 10:17–31; Lk 18:18–30
16#Mt 25:46; Jn 3:15Now one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good deed shall I do to have eternal life?”
17#Lev 18:5; Ro 10:5He replied to him, “Why do you call Me good? There is One who is good. But if you would enter life, keep the commandments.”
18He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,#Ex 20:13–16; Dt 5:17–20. 19#Lev 19:18; Mt 22:39; Ex 20:12Honor your father and your mother,#Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16. and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.#Lev 19:18.”
20#Php 3:6The young man said to Him, “All these I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21#Lk 12:33; Ac 2:45Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.”
22#Eze 33:31But when the young man heard this, he went away sorrowful. For he had great possessions.
23#Mt 13:22; Mk 10:23Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly, I say to you that it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24#Mk 10:24–25; Lk 18:25And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25When His disciples heard this, they were greatly amazed, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26#Job 42:2; Lk 1:37; Ge 18:14But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27Then Peter answered Him, “See, we have left everything and followed You. What then shall we have?”
28#Rev 3:21; Mt 25:31Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29#Lk 14:26; Mt 19:16And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for My name’s sake shall receive a hundred times as much and inherit eternal life. 30#Mt 20:16; Mk 10:31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Matthew 19
19
1 When Yeshua had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,#Genesis 1:27 5and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?#Genesis 2:24 6So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
7 They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so. 9I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given. 12For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. 14But Yeshua said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.” 15He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 Behold, one came to him and said, “Good Rabbi, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
17 He said to him, “Why do you call me good?#19:17 So MT and TR. NU reads “Why do you ask me about what is good?” No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 He said to him, “Which ones?”
Yeshua said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’ 19‘Honor your father and your mother.’#Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20 And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”#Leviticus 19:18
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21Yeshua said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23Yeshua said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Looking at them, Yeshua said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
28Yeshua said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. 30But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
