1. When Jesus finished these words, he left Galilee and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan.
|
1. And G2532 it came to pass G1096 , that when G3753 Jesus G2424 had finished G5055 these G5128 sayings G3056 , he departed G3332 from G575 Galilee G1056 , and G2532 came G2064 into G1519 the G3588 coasts G3725 of Judea G2449 beyond G4008 Jordan G2446 ;
|
|
2. Great crowds followed him, and he cured them there.
|
2. And G2532 great G4183 multitudes G3793 followed G190 him G846 ; and G2532 he healed G2323 them G846 there G1563 .
|
|
3. Some Pharisees approached him, and tested him, saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?"
|
3. The G3588 Pharisees G5330 also G2532 came G4334 unto him G846 , tempting G3985 him G846 , and G2532 saying G3004 unto him G846 G1487 , Is it lawful G1832 for a man G444 to put away G630 his G848 wife G1135 for G2596 every G3956 cause G156 ?
|
|
4. He said in reply, "Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female'
|
4. And G1161 he G3588 answered G611 and said G2036 unto them G846 , Have ye not G3756 read G314 , that G3754 he which made G4160 them at G575 the beginning G746 made G4160 them G846 male G730 and G2532 female G2338 ,
|
|
5. and 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'?
|
5. And G2532 said G2036 , For this cause G1752 G5127 shall a man G444 leave G2641 father G3962 and G2532 mother G3384 , and G2532 shall cleave G4347 to his G848 wife G1135 : and G2532 they twain G1417 shall be G2071 one G3391 G1519 flesh G4561
|
|
6. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no human being must separate."
|
6. Wherefore G5620 they are G1526 no more G3765 twain G1417 , but G235 one G3391 flesh G4561 . What G3739 therefore G3767 God G2316 hath joined together G4801 , let not G3361 man G444 put asunder G5563 .
|
|
7. They said to him, "Then why did Moses command that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss (her)?"
|
7. They say G3004 unto him G846 , Why G5101 did Moses G3475 then G3767 command G1781 to give G1325 a writing G975 of divorcement G647 , and G2532 to put her away G630 G846
|
|
8. He said to them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
|
8. He saith G3004 unto them G846 , Moses G3475 because G4314 of the G3588 hardness of your hearts G4641 G5216 suffered G2010 you G5213 to put away G630 your G5216 wives G1135 : but G1161 from G575 the beginning G746 it was G1096 not G3756 so G3779 .
|
|
9. I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery."
|
9. And G1161 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Whosoever G3739 G302 shall put away G630 his G848 wife G1135 , except G1508 it be for G1909 fornication G4202 , and G2532 shall marry G1060 another G243 , committeth adultery G3429 : and G2532 whoso marrieth G1060 her which is put away G630 doth commit adultery G3429 .
|
|
10. (His) disciples said to him, "If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry."
|
10. His G846 disciples G3101 say G3004 unto him G846 , If G1487 the G3588 case G156 of the G3588 man G444 be G2076 so G3779 with G3326 his wife G1135 , it is not good G4851 G3756 to marry G1060 .
|
|
11. He answered, "Not all can accept (this) word, but only those to whom that is granted.
|
11. But G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto them G846 , All G3956 men cannot receive G5562 G3756 this G5126 saying G3056 , save G235 they to whom G3739 it is given G1325 .
|
|
12. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it."
|
12. For G1063 there are G1526 some eunuchs G2135 , which G3748 were so G3779 born G1080 from G1537 their mother G3384 's womb G2836 : and G2532 there are G1526 some eunuchs G2135 , which G3748 were made eunuchs G2134 of G5259 men G444 : and G2532 there be G1526 eunuchs G2135 , which G3748 have made themselves eunuchs G2134 G1438 for the kingdom of heaven's sake G1223 G3588 G932 G3772 . He that is able G1410 to receive G5562 it, let him receive G5562 it.
|
|
13. Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them,
|
13. Then G5119 were there brought G4336 unto him G846 little children G3813 , that G2443 he should put G2007 his hands G5495 on them G846 , and G2532 pray G4374 : and G1161 the G3588 disciples G3101 rebuked G2008 them G846 .
|
|
14. but Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
|
14. But G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 , Suffer G863 little children G3813 , and G2532 forbid G2967 them G846 not G3361 , to come G2064 unto G4314 me G3165 : for G1063 of such G5108 is G2076 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 .
|
|
15. After he placed his hands on them, he went away.
|
15. And G2532 he laid G2007 his hands G5495 on them G846 , and departed G4198 thence G1564 .
|
|
16. Now someone approached him and said, "Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?"
|
16. And G2532 , behold G2400 , one G1520 came G4334 and said G2036 unto him G846 , Good G18 Master G1320 , what G5101 good thing G18 shall I do G4160 , that G2443 I may have G2192 eternal G166 life G2222 ?
|
|
17. He answered him, "Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."
|
17. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto him G846 , Why G5101 callest G3004 thou me G3165 good G18 ? there is none G3762 good G18 but G1508 one G1520 , that is, God G2316 : but G1161 if G1487 thou wilt G2309 enter G1525 into G1519 life G2222 , keep G5083 the G3588 commandments G1785 .
|
|
18. He asked him, "Which ones?" And Jesus replied, " 'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness;
|
18. He saith G3004 unto him G846 , Which G4169 ? Jesus G2424 said G2036 , Thou shalt G3588 do no murder G5407 G3756 , Thou shalt not G3756 commit adultery G3431 , Thou shalt not G3756 steal G2813 , Thou shalt not bear false witness G5576 ,
|
|
19. honor your father and your mother'; and 'you shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"
|
19. Honor G5091 thy G4675 father G3962 and G2532 thy mother: and G3384 , Thou shalt love G25 thy G4675 neighbor G4139 as G5613 thyself G4572 .
|
|
20. The young man said to him, "All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?"
|
20. The G3588 young man G3495 saith G3004 unto him G846 , All G3956 these things G5023 have I kept G5442 from G1537 my G3450 youth G3503 up: what G5101 lack G5302 I yet G2089 ?
|
|
21. Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to (the) poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
|
21. Jesus G2424 said G5346 unto him G846 , If G1487 thou wilt G2309 be G1511 perfect G5046 , go G5217 and sell G4453 that thou hast G5224 G4675 , and G2532 give G1325 to the poor G4434 , and G2532 thou shalt have G2192 treasure G2344 in G1722 heaven G3772 : and G2532 come G1204 and follow G190 me G3427 .
|
|
22. When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
|
22. But G1161 when the G3588 young man G3495 heard G191 that saying G3056 , he went away G565 sorrowful G3076 : for G1063 he had G2258 G2192 great G4183 possessions G2933 .
|
|
23. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
|
23. Then G1161 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto his G848 disciples G3101 , Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , That G3754 a rich man G4145 shall hardly G1423 enter G1525 into G1519 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 .
|
|
24. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
|
24. And G1161 again G3825 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , It is G2076 easier G2123 for a camel G2574 to go G1330 through G1223 the eye G5169 of a needle G4476 , than G2228 for a rich man G4145 to enter G1525 into G1519 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 .
|
|
25. When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, "Who then can be saved?"
|
25. When G1161 his G846 disciples G3101 heard G191 it, they were exceedingly G4970 amazed G1605 , saying G3004 , Who G5101 then G686 can G1410 be saved G4982 ?
|
|
26. Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible."
|
26. But G1161 Jesus G2424 beheld G1689 them, and said G2036 unto them G846 , With G3844 men G444 this G5124 is G2076 impossible G102 ; but G1161 with G3844 God G2316 all things G3956 are G2076 possible G1415 .
|
|
27. Then Peter said to him in reply, "We have given up everything and followed you. What will there be for us?"
|
27. Then G5119 answered G611 Peter G4074 and said G2036 unto him G846 , Behold G2400 , we G2249 have forsaken G863 all G3956 , and G2532 followed G190 thee G4671 ; what G5101 shall we G2254 have G2071 therefore G686 ?
|
|
28. Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
|
28. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them G846 , Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , That G3754 ye G5210 which have followed G190 me G3427 , in G1722 the G3588 regeneration G3824 when G3752 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 shall sit G2523 in G1909 the throne G2362 of his G848 glory G1391 , ye G5210 also G2532 shall sit G2523 upon G1909 twelve G1427 thrones G2362 , judging G2919 the G3588 twelve G1427 tribes G5443 of Israel G2474 .
|
|
29. And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life.
|
29. And G2532 every one G3956 that G3739 hath forsaken G863 houses G3614 , or G2228 brethren G80 , or G2228 sisters G79 , or G2228 father G3962 , or G2228 mother G3384 , or G2228 wife G1135 , or G2228 children G5043 , or G2228 lands G68 , for my name's sake G1752 G3450 G3686 , shall receive G2983 a hundredfold G1542 , and G2532 shall inherit G2816 everlasting G166 life G2222 .
|
|
30. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
|
30. But G1161 many G4183 that are first G4413 shall be G2071 last G2078 ; and G2532 the last G2078 shall be first G4413 .
