Matthew 19
Good News Translation
Jesus Teaches about Divorce(A)
19 When Jesus finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went to the territory of Judea on the other side of the Jordan River. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him by asking, “Does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife for whatever reason he wishes?”
4 (B)Jesus answered, “Haven't you read the scripture that says that in the beginning the Creator made people male and female? 5 (C)And God said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two will become one.’ 6 So they are no longer two, but one. No human being must separate, then, what God has joined together.”
7 (D)The Pharisees asked him, “Why, then, did Moses give the law for a man to hand his wife a divorce notice and send her away?”
8 Jesus answered, “Moses gave you permission to divorce your wives because you are so hard to teach. But it was not like that at the time of creation. 9 (E)I tell you, then, that any man who divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, commits adultery if he marries some other woman.”
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is how it is between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Jesus answered, “This teaching does not apply to everyone, but only to those to whom God has given it. 12 For there are different reasons why men cannot marry: some, because they were born that way; others, because men made them that way; and others do not marry for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Let him who can accept this teaching do so.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children(F)
13 Some people brought children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and to pray for them, but the disciples scolded the people. 14 Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 He placed his hands on them and then went away.
The Rich Young Man(G)
16 Once a man came to Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what good thing must I do to receive eternal life?”
17 “Why do you ask me concerning what is good?” answered Jesus. “There is only One who is good. Keep the commandments if you want to enter life.”
18 (H)“What commandments?” he asked.
Jesus answered, “Do not commit murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not accuse anyone falsely; 19 (I)respect your father and your mother; and love your neighbor as you love yourself.”
20 “I have obeyed all these commandments,” the young man replied. “What else do I need to do?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was very rich.
23 Jesus then said to his disciples, “I assure you: it will be very hard for rich people to enter the Kingdom of heaven. 24 I repeat: it is much harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were completely amazed. “Who, then, can be saved?” they asked.
26 Jesus looked straight at them and answered, “This is impossible for human beings, but for God everything is possible.”
27 Then Peter spoke up. “Look,” he said, “we have left everything and followed you. What will we have?”
28 (J)Jesus said to them, “You can be sure that when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the New Age, then you twelve followers of mine will also sit on thrones, to rule the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake, will receive a hundred times more and will be given eternal life. 30 (K)But many who now are first will be last, and many who now are last will be first.
马太福音 19
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
论婚姻
19 当耶稣讲完了这些话，就离开加利利，来到约旦河对岸的犹太地区。 2 有一大群人跟随他，他就在那里使他们痊愈。 3 有些法利赛人前来试探耶稣，说：“无论出于什么缘故，人是否可以休妻呢？”
4 耶稣回答说：“你们难道没有读过吗？造物主从起初就把人造成男的和女的。[a] 5 并且说：
‘为这缘故，人将离开父母，
与妻子结合，
两个人就成为一体。’[b]
6 这样，夫妻不再是两个人，而是一体了。因此，神所配合的，人不可分开。”
7 他们问耶稣：“那么，为什么摩西吩咐说，给一份休书，就可以休妻呢？”
8 耶稣对他们说：“摩西因着你们的心里刚硬，才准许你们休妻，但并不是从起初就这样的。 9 我告诉你们：如果有人不是由于淫乱的缘故而休妻，另娶别人，就是犯通奸罪。[c]”
10 他的门徒们对耶稣说：“如果丈夫与妻子的关系是这样，结婚就没有益处了。”
11 耶稣就对他们说：“这话不是所有人都能接受的，只有谁被赐予了，谁才能接受： 12 就是说，有些独身者[d]是生来[e]如此的；有些独身者是别人使他们成为独身的[f]；还有些独身者是为了天国的缘故自己成为独身的。谁能接受，就接受吧。”
祝福小孩子
13 那时，有一些小孩子被带到耶稣那里，好让耶稣按手在他们身上，给他们祷告。门徒们却责备那些人。 14 耶稣就说：“让小孩子到我这里来，不要阻止他们，因为天国正属于这样的人。” 15 于是，耶稣按手在他们身上，然后离开那地方。
富有的青年官员
16 看哪，有一个人上前来对耶稣说：“老师[g]，我该做什么良善的事，才能得到永恒的生命呢？”
17 耶稣对他说：“你为什么问我有关良善的事呢？只有一位是良善的[h]。如果你想进入永生[i]，就应该遵守诫命。” 18 那个人就问：“哪些诫命呢？”
耶稣回答说：
“不可杀人、
不可通奸、
不可偷窃、
不可做伪证、
19 要孝敬父母、
要爱邻如己。”[j]
20 那年轻人对耶稣说：“这一切[k]我都遵守了，我还缺少什么呢？”
21 耶稣对他说：“如果你想要成为完全的，就当去卖掉你所拥有的，分给穷人，这样你将有财宝在天上；然后你来跟从我。”
22 那年轻人听了这话，就忧忧愁愁地走开了，因为他有很多财产。
财富与天国
23 耶稣对他的门徒们说：“我确实地告诉你们：富有的人进入天国会很困难。 24 我再告诉你们：骆驼穿过针眼，比富有的人进入神的国更容易呢！”
25 门徒们听了这话，极其惊讶，就说：“究竟谁能得救呢？”
26 耶稣注视着他们，说：“在人，这是不可能的；但是在神，凡事都可能。”
27 这时候，彼得对耶稣说：“看，我们舍弃一切跟从了你，我们将来究竟会怎么样呢？”
28 耶稣对他们说：“我确实地告诉你们：在新的世界里，当人子坐在他荣耀宝座上的时候，你们这些跟从我的人也要坐在十二个宝座上，审判以色列的十二个支派。 29 凡是为我名的缘故而舍弃房屋，或兄弟，或姐妹，或父亲，或母亲，[l]或儿女，或田产的人，都将得到百倍，并且继承永恒的生命。 30 不过许多在前的，将要在后；许多在后的，将要在前。
