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
Teaching about Divorce
1When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2Large crowds followed him, and he cured them there.
3Some Pharisees came to him, and to test him they asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?” 4He answered, “Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5and 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’? 6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” 7They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?” 8He said to them, “It was because you were so hard-hearted that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery.”#19.9 Other ancient authorities read except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; others add at the end of the verse and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery
10His disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” 11But he said to them, “Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. 12For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children
13Then little children were being brought to him in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples spoke sternly to those who brought them; 14but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.” 15And he laid his hands on them and went on his way.
The Rich Young Man
16Then someone came to him and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; 19Honor your father and mother; also, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20The young man said to him, “I have kept all these;#19.20 Other ancient authorities add from my youth what do I still lack?” 21Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money#19.21 Gk lacks the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” 22When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
23Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, “Then who can be saved?” 26But Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
27Then Peter said in reply, “Look, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?” 28Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold,#19.29 Other ancient authorities read manifold and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
