Учение Иисуса о браке и разводе(A)

19 Закончив говорить это, Иисус покинул Галилею и отправился по восточному берегу Иордана в Иудею. За Ним последовало множество людей, и Он исцелил их там.

Некоторые из фарисеев подошли к Иисусу и, искушая Его, спросили:

– По любой ли причине мужчине разрешается разводиться со своей женой?

– Разве вы не читали, – ответил Иисус, – что в начале Создатель сотворил их мужчиной и женщиной[a] и сказал: «Поэтому оставит человек отца и мать и соединится со своей женой, и двое станут одной плотью»?[b] Так что их уже не двое, они – одна плоть. Итак, что Бог соединил, то человек не должен разделять.

Они сказали Ему:

– Почему же тогда Моисей велел давать жене разводное письмо и отпускать ее?[c]

– Моисей разрешил вам разводиться с женами из-за жестокости ваших сердец, – ответил им Иисус. – Но вначале так не было. Говорю вам, что каждый, кто разводится со своей женой, кроме как по причине ее измены, и женится на другой, тот нарушает супружескую верность[d].

10 Ученики сказали Иисусу:

– Если обязательства мужа к жене так строги, то лучше вообще не жениться.

11 Иисус ответил:

– Не все могут принять Мои слова, а лишь те, кому это дано. 12 Некоторые родились скопцами, других такими сделали люди, а третьи отказались от брака ради Небесного Царства[e]. Пусть те, кому это дано, поступают так.

Иисус благословляет детей(B)

13 Тогда к Иисусу принесли детей, чтобы Он возложил на них руки и помолился. А ученики их бранили. 14 Но Иисус сказал:

– Пусть дети приходят ко Мне, не запрещайте им, потому что Царство Небесное принадлежит таким, как они.

15 И, возложив на детей руки, Иисус ушел оттуда.

Богач и Иисус(C)

16 К Нему подошел человек и спросил:

– Учитель, что я должен сделать благого, чтобы получить вечную жизнь?

17 – Зачем ты спрашиваешь Меня о благом? – сказал Иисус. – Благ только один Бог. Но если ты хочешь войти в вечную жизнь, то соблюдай заповеди.

18 – Какие? – спросил тот.

Иисус ответил:

– «Не убивай», «не нарушай супружескую верность», «не кради», «не лжесвидетельствуй»[f], 19 «почитай отца и мать»[g] и «люби ближнего твоего, как самого себя»[h].

20 – Все это я соблюдаю, – ответил молодой человек, – чего еще мне недостает?

21 Иисус ответил:

– Если хочешь быть совершенным, то пойди, продай то, что у тебя есть, и раздай деньги бедным, и тогда у тебя будет сокровище на небесах. Потом приходи и следуй за Мной.

22 Когда молодой человек это услышал, то отошел опечаленный, потому что он владел большим имуществом.

23 Тогда Иисус сказал Своим ученикам:

– Говорю вам истину: трудно будет богатому войти в Небесное Царство. 24 Также говорю вам: легче верблюду пройти сквозь игольное ушко, чем богатому войти в Божье Царство.

25 Когда ученики это услышали, они сильно удивились:

– Кто же тогда вообще может быть спасен?

26 Иисус посмотрел на них и сказал:

– Человеку это невозможно, но Богу все возможно.

27 Петр сказал Ему:

– Вот, мы все оставили и пошли за Тобой. Что же нам будет?

28 На это Иисус ответил им:

– Говорю вам истину: когда весь мир обновится, и Сын Человеческий сядет на престоле Своей славы, тогда и вы, последовавшие за Мной, тоже сядете на двенадцати престолах править[i] двенадцатью родами Израиля. 29 И всякий, кто оставил дома или братьев, или сестер, или отца, или мать, или детей, или земли ради имени Моего, получит во сто крат больше и станет наследником вечной жизни. 30 Однако многие из тех, кто в этом мире был возвышен, будут унижены, а многие униженные будут возвышены.

Divorce(A)

19 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(B) he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. Large crowds followed him, and he healed them(C) there.

Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife(D) for any and every reason?”

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a](E) and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]?(F) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”(G)

Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”(H)

10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.(I) 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

The Little Children and Jesus(J)

13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them(K) and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.

14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs(L) to such as these.”(M) 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(N)

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life(O)?”(P)

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”(Q)

18 “Which ones?” he inquired.

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,(R) you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[c](S) and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d](T)

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,(U) go, sell your possessions and give to the poor,(V) and you will have treasure in heaven.(W) Then come, follow me.”

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich(X) to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again 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.”

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(Y)

27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(Z) What then will there be for us?”

28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,(AA) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(AB) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[e] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(AC) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(AD)

Acerca do divórcio(A)

19 E aconteceu que, concluindo Jesus esses discursos, saiu da Galileia e dirigiu-se aos confins da Judeia, além do Jordão. E seguiram-no muitas gentes e curou-as ali.

Então, chegaram ao pé dele os fariseus, tentando-o e dizendo-lhe: É lícito ao homem repudiar sua mulher por qualquer motivo? Ele, porém, respondendo, disse-lhes: Não tendes lido que, no princípio, o Criador os fez macho e fêmea e disse: Portanto, deixará o homem pai e mãe e se unirá à sua mulher, e serão dois numa só carne? Assim não são mais dois, mas uma só carne. Portanto, o que Deus ajuntou não separe o homem. Disseram-lhe eles: Então, por que mandou Moisés dar-lhe carta de divórcio e repudiá-la? Disse-lhes ele: Moisés, por causa da dureza do vosso coração, vos permitiu repudiar vossa mulher; mas, ao princípio, não foi assim. Eu vos digo, porém, que qualquer que repudiar sua mulher, não sendo por causa de prostituição, e casar com outra, comete adultério; e o que casar com a repudiada também comete adultério. 10 Disseram-lhe seus discípulos: Se assim é a condição do homem relativamente à mulher, não convém casar. 11 Ele, porém, lhes disse: Nem todos podem receber esta palavra, mas só aqueles a quem foi concedido. 12 Porque há eunucos que assim nasceram do ventre da mãe; e há eunucos que foram castrados pelos homens; e há eunucos que se castraram a si mesmos por causa do Reino dos céus. Quem pode receber isso, que o receba.

Jesus abençoa as crianças(B)

13 Trouxeram-lhe, então, algumas crianças, para que lhes impusesse as mãos e orasse; mas os discípulos os repreendiam. 14 Jesus, porém, disse: Deixai os pequeninos e não os estorveis de vir a mim, porque dos tais é o Reino dos céus. 15 E, tendo-lhes imposto as mãos, partiu dali.

O jovem rico(C)

16 E eis que, aproximando-se dele um jovem, disse-lhe: Bom Mestre, que bem farei, para conseguir a vida eterna? 17 E ele disse-lhe: Por que me chamas bom? Não bom, senão um só que é Deus. Se queres, porém, entrar na vida, guarda os mandamentos. 18 Disse-lhe ele: Quais? E Jesus disse: Não matarás, não cometerás adultério, não furtarás, não dirás falso testemunho; 19 honra teu pai e tua mãe, e amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo. 20 Disse-lhe o jovem: Tudo isso tenho guardado desde a minha mocidade; que me falta ainda? 21 Disse-lhe Jesus: Se queres ser perfeito, vai, vende tudo o que tens, dá-o aos pobres e terás um tesouro no céu; e vem e segue-me. 22 E o jovem, ouvindo essa palavra, retirou-se triste, porque possuía muitas propriedades.

23 Disse, então, Jesus aos seus discípulos: Em verdade vos digo que é difícil entrar um rico no Reino dos céus. 24 E outra vez vos digo que é mais fácil passar um camelo pelo fundo de uma agulha do que entrar um rico no Reino de Deus. 25 Os seus discípulos, ouvindo isso, admiraram-se muito, dizendo: Quem poderá, pois, salvar-se? 26 E Jesus, olhando para eles, disse-lhes: Aos homens é isso impossível, mas a Deus tudo é possível. 27 Então, Pedro, tomando a palavra, disse-lhe: Eis que nós deixamos tudo e te seguimos; que receberemos? 28 E Jesus disse-lhes: Em verdade vos digo que vós, que me seguistes, quando, na regeneração, o Filho do Homem se assentar no trono da sua glória, também vos assentareis sobre doze tronos, para julgar as doze tribos de Israel. 29 E todo aquele que tiver deixado casas, ou irmãos, ou irmãs, ou pai, ou mãe, ou mulher, ou filhos, ou terras, por amor do meu nome, receberá cem vezes tanto e herdará a vida eterna. 30 Porém muitos primeiros serão derradeiros, e muitos derradeiros serão primeiros.

19 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Marriage and Divorce(A)

19 Now it came to pass, (B)when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. (C)And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who [a]made them at the beginning (D)‘made them male and female,’ and said, (E)‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and (F)the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

They said to Him, (G)“Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”

He said to them, “Moses, because of the (H)hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your (I)wives, but from the beginning it was not so. (J)And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for [b]sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

10 His disciples said to Him, (K)“If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

Jesus Teaches on Celibacy

11 But He said to them, (L)“All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: 12 For there are [c]eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and (M)there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.”

Jesus Blesses Little Children(N)

13 (O)Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for (P)of such is the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler(Q)

16 (R)Now behold, one came and said to Him, (S)“Good[d] Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

17 So He said to him, [e]“Why do you call Me good? [f]No one is (T)good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, (U)keep the commandments.”

18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”

Jesus said, (V)“‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 (W)‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, (X)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have (Y)kept [g]from my youth. What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, (Z)go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

With God All Things Are Possible(AA)

23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that (AB)it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And 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.”

25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but (AC)with God all things are possible.”

27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, (AD)we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”

28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, (AE)you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 (AF)And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother [h]or wife or children or [i]lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30 (AG)But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
