Mattithyahu (Matthew) 19
19
1And it came to be, when יהושע had ended these words, that He left Galil and came to the borders of Yehuḏah beyond the Yardĕn.
2And large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3And the Pharisees came to Him, trying Him, and saying to Him, “Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every reason?”
4And He answering, said to them, “Did you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female,# Gen. 1:27; Gen. 5:2
5and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?# Gen. 2:24
6So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what Elohim has joined together, let man not separate.
7They said to Him, “Why then did Mosheh command to give a certificate of divorce,# Deu. 24:1; Deu. 24:3 and to put her away?”
8He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts, Mosheh allowed you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9“And I say to you, whoever puts away his wife, except on the ground of whoring, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries her who has been put away commits adultery.”#See footnote at Mat. 5:32.
10His taught ones said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is good not to marry.”
11And He said to them, “Not all receive this word, but only those to whom it has been given,
12for there are eunuchs who were so born from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the reign of the heavens. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13Then young children were brought to Him to lay His hands on them and pray, and the taught ones rebuked them.
14But יהושע said, “Allow the young children and do not stop them from coming to Me, for of such is the reign of the heavens.”
15And having laid hands on them He went from there.
16And see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good shall I do to have everlasting life?”
17And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the commands.”#See also Luke 10:28; John 12:50; Rev. 22:14
18He said to Him, “Which?” And יהושע said, " ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’# Exo. 20:13-16; Deu. 5:17-20
19‘Respect your father and your mother,’# Exo. 20:12; Deu. 5:16 and ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ ”# Lev. 19:18
20The young man said to Him, “All these I have watched over from my youth, what do I still lack?”
21יהושע said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go,#See Luke 12:33; Luke 16:9; Acts 2:45; Acts 4:34 sell what you have and give to the poor, and you shall have# Mat. 6:20 treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.”
22And when the young man heard the word, he went away sad, because he had many possessions.
23And יהושע said to His taught ones, “Truly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter into the reign of the heavens.
24And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel#Aramaic “gamla”, which is camel or rope. to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the reign of Elohim.”
25And when His taught ones heard it, they were very astonished, saying, “Who then is able to be saved?”
26And looking intently יהושע said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with Elohim all is possible.”
27Then Kĕpha answering, said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. What then shall we have?”
28And יהושע said to them, “Truly I say to you, when the Son of Aḏam sits on the throne of His esteem, you who have followed Me in the rebirth, shall also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Yisra’ĕl.
29“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My Name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30“But many who are first shall be last, and the last first.

Matthew 19
19
1And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judæa beyond the Jordan; 2and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, 5and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? 6So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away? 8He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so. 9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery. 10The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry. 11But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given. 12For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 14But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven. 15And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. 18He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet? 21Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 22But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions.
23And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved? 26And Jesus looking upon them said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 27Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have? 28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. 30But many shall be last that are first; and first that are last.
