Evanđelje po Mateju 19
Knijga O Kristu
O braku i rastavi
19 Kad je Isus završio s govorom, ode iz Galileje u Judeju s istočne strane rijeke Jordana.
2 Za njim je pošlo silno mnoštvo te ih je on ondje iscjeljivao.
3 Priđu mu neki farizeji pa ga upitaju pokušavajući ga zaskočiti: 'Smije li se muž razvesti od žene zbog bilo kojeg razloga?'
4 On odgovori: 'Niste li u Pismu čitali da ih je Stvoritelj na početku stvorio muškim i ženskim[a]
5 i da je rekao: "Čovjek će ostaviti oca i majku da bi se sjedinio sa svojom ženom, i njih će dvoje biti jedno tijelo'?[b]
6 Njih dvoje, prema tome, nisu više dva, nego jedno tijelo. Neka dakle nijedan čovjek ne rastavlja one koje je Bog sjedinio.'
7 'Zašto je onda Mojsije rekao da muž treba ženi samo napisati otpusnicu pa se može razvesti?'[c] upitaju.
8 Isus im odgovori: 'Mojsije je učinio taj ustupak da možete otpustiti svoju ženu zbog vaših tvrdih srca, ali u početku nije bilo tako.
9 A ja vam kažem: svatko tko se razvede od žene - osim zbog njezina bluda - pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub.'[d]
10 Nato će Isusovi učenici: 'Ako je između muža i žene tako, onda je bolje ne ženiti se!'
11 'Ne mogu to razumjeti svi, nego samo oni kojima je dano
12 'Ima ljudi koji su od rođenja nesposobni za ženidbu, ima ih koje su ljudi za to onesposobili, a neki se dragovoljno odriču ženidbe zaradi nebeskoga kraljevstva. Tko može shvatiti, neka shvati.'
Isus blagoslivlja djecu
13 Tada mu donesu djecu da na njih stavi ruke i da se pomoli. Učenici su im to priječili.
14 Isus im nato reče: 'Pustite dječicu k meni i ne tjerajte ih jer takvima pripada nebesko kraljevstvo!'
15 Položi na njih ruke, a zatim ode odande.
Bogataš
16 Priđe mu neki čovjek i upita: 'Učitelju, koje dobro moram činiti da bih zadobio vječni život?'
17 Isus mu reče: 'Zašto me pitaš o dobrome? Samo je Bog dobar![e] Ali ako želiš ući u život, ispunjaj zapovijedi!'
18 'Koje?' upita on.Isus odgovori: 'Ne ubij, ne čini preljub, ne kradi, ne laži.
19 Poštuj oca i majku i ljubi bližnjega svoga kao samoga sebe!'[f]
20 'Sve sam to činio
21 'želiš li biti savršenim,' odgovori Isus, 'idi i prodaj sve što imaš, a novac podijeli siromasima pa ćeš imati blago na nebu. Onda dođi i slijedi me.'
22 Kad je mladić to čuo, vrlo se ražalosti i ode jer je bio jako bogat.
23 Isus nato reče učenicima: 'Zaista vam kažem, teško je bogatašu ući u nebesko kraljevstvo.
24 I opet vam kažem: Lakše će se deva provući kroz iglene uši nego što će bogataš ući u Božje kraljevstvo.'
25 Učenici se zaprepaste. 'Pa tko se onda uopće može spasiti?' upitaju.
26 Isus ih pomnjivo pogleda pa reče: 'Ljudima je to nemoguće učiniti. Ali Bog može sve.'
27 Tada mu Petar reče: 'Evo, mi smo sve ostavili da te slijedimo. Što ćemo za to dobiti?'
28 Isus odgovori: 'Zaista vam kažem, kada ja, Sin Čovječji, sjednem o obnovi svijeta na svoje slavno prijestolje, vi ćete sjesti na dvanaest prijestolja i suditi dvanaest Izraelovih plemena.
29 A svatko tko zaradi mene ostavi kuću, ili braću, ili sestre, ili oca, ili majku, ili ženu, ili djecu, ili njive, primit će stostruko i baštiniti vječni život.
30 Ali mnogi koji su sada prvi tada će biti na zadnjemu mjestu, a mnogi koje ovdje smatraju zadnjima ondje će biti najveći.'[g]

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. 2 (C)And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 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?”
4 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,’ 5 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’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
7 They said to Him, (G)“Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
8 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. 9 (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.

Teaching About Divorce
19 Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from (A)Galilee and (B)entered (C)the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 And (D)large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 And Pharisees came up to him and (E)tested him by asking, (F)“Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” 4 He answered, (G)“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, (H)‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and (I)the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. (J)What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” 7 They said to him, (K)“Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” 8 He said to them, “Because of your (L)hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 (M)And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”[a]
10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” 11 But he said to them, (N)“Not everyone can receive this saying, but only (O)those to (P)whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs (Q)for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”
Let the Children Come to Me
13 (R)Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples (S)rebuked the people, 14 but Jesus said, (T)“Let the little children (U)come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.
The Rich Young Man
16 (V)And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to (W)have (X)eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. (Y)If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, (Z)“You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, (AA)You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, (AB)“All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be (AC)perfect, go, (AD)sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have (AE)treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 (AF)When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, (AG)only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 (AH)Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter (AI)the kingdom of God.” 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26 But Jesus (AJ)looked at them and said, (AK)“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 27 Then Peter said in reply, “See, (AL)we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?” 28 Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in the new world,[b] (AM)when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me (AN)will also sit on twelve thrones, (AO)judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 (AP)And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold[c] and will (AQ)inherit eternal life. 30 But (AR)many who are (AS)first will be last, and the last first.
