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
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.
