Jesús enseña sobre el divorcio(A)

19 Después de decir estas cosas, Jesús se fue de Galilea y llegó a la región de Judea que está al oriente del Jordán. Mucha gente lo siguió, y allí sanó a los enfermos.

Algunos fariseos se acercaron a Jesús y, para tenderle una trampa, le preguntaron:

—¿Le está permitido a uno divorciarse de su esposa por un motivo cualquiera?

Jesús les contestó:

—¿No han leído ustedes en la Escritura que el que los creó en el principio, “hombre y mujer los creó”? Y dijo: “Por eso, el hombre dejará a su padre y a su madre para unirse a su esposa, y los dos serán como una sola persona.” Así que ya no son dos, sino uno solo. De modo que el hombre no debe separar lo que Dios ha unido.

Ellos le preguntaron:

—¿Por qué, pues, mandó Moisés darle a la esposa un certificado de divorcio, y despedirla así?

Jesús les dijo:

—Precisamente por lo tercos que son ustedes, Moisés les permitió divorciarse de su esposa; pero al principio no fue de esa manera. Yo les digo que el que se divorcia de su esposa, a no ser en el caso de una unión ilegal, y se casa con otra, comete adulterio.

10 Le dijeron sus discípulos:

—Si éste es el caso del hombre en relación con su esposa, no conviene casarse.

11 Jesús les contestó:

—No todos pueden comprender esto, sino únicamente aquellos a quienes Dios les ha dado que lo comprendan. 12 Hay diferentes razones que impiden a los hombres casarse: unos ya nacen incapacitados para el matrimonio, a otros los incapacitan los hombres, y otros viven como incapacitados por causa del reino de los cielos. El que pueda entender esto, que lo entienda.

Jesús bendice a los niños(B)

13 Llevaron unos niños a Jesús, para que pusiera sobre ellos las manos y orara por ellos; pero los discípulos comenzaron a reprender a quienes los llevaban. 14 Entonces Jesús dijo:

—Dejen que los niños vengan a mí, y no se lo impidan, porque el reino de los cielos es de quienes son como ellos.

15 Puso las manos sobre los niños, y se fue de aquel lugar.

Un joven rico habla con Jesús(C)

16 Un joven fue a ver a Jesús, y le preguntó:

—Maestro, ¿qué cosa buena debo hacer para tener vida eterna?

17 Jesús le contestó:

—¿Por qué me preguntas acerca de lo que es bueno? Bueno solamente hay uno. Pero si quieres entrar en la vida, obedece los mandamientos.

18 —¿Cuáles? —preguntó el joven.

Y Jesús le dijo:

—“No mates, no cometas adulterio, no robes, no digas mentiras en perjuicio de nadie, 19 honra a tu padre y a tu madre, y ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.”

20 —Todo eso ya lo he cumplido —dijo el joven—. ¿Qué más me falta?

21 Jesús le contestó:

—Si quieres ser perfecto, anda, vende lo que tienes y dáselo a los pobres. Así tendrás riqueza en el cielo. Luego ven y sígueme.

22 Cuando el joven oyó esto, se fue triste, porque era muy rico.

23 Jesús dijo entonces a sus discípulos:

—Les aseguro que difícilmente entrará un rico en el reino de los cielos. 24 Les repito que es más fácil para un camello pasar por el ojo de una aguja, que para un rico entrar en el reino de Dios.

25 Al oírlo, sus discípulos se asombraron más aún, y decían:

—Entonces, ¿quién podrá salvarse?

26 Jesús los miró y les contestó:

—Para los hombres esto es imposible, pero para Dios todo es posible.

27 Pedro le dijo entonces:

—Nosotros hemos dejado todo lo que teníamos y te hemos seguido. ¿Qué vamos a recibir?

28 Jesús les respondió:

—Les aseguro que cuando llegue el tiempo en que todo sea renovado, cuando el Hijo del hombre se siente en su trono glorioso, ustedes que me han seguido se sentarán también en doce tronos para juzgar a las doce tribus de Israel. 29 Y todos los que por causa mía hayan dejado casa, o hermanos, o hermanas, o padre, o madre, o hijos, o terrenos, recibirán cien veces más, y también recibirán la vida eterna. 30 Pero muchos que ahora son los primeros, serán los últimos; y muchos que ahora son los últimos, serán los primeros.

Jesús enseña sobre el divorcio

(Mr. 10.1-12; Lc. 16.18)

19 Aconteció que cuando Jesús terminó estas palabras, se alejó de Galilea, y fue a las regiones de Judea al otro lado del Jordán. Y le siguieron grandes multitudes, y los sanó allí.

Entonces vinieron a él los fariseos, tentándole y diciéndole: ¿Es lícito al hombre repudiar a su mujer por cualquier causa? Él, respondiendo, les dijo: ¿No habéis leído que el que los hizo al principio, varón y hembra los hizo,(A) y dijo: Por esto el hombre dejará padre y madre, y se unirá a su mujer, y los dos serán una sola carne?(B) Así que no son ya más dos, sino una sola carne; por tanto, lo que Dios juntó, no lo separe el hombre. Le dijeron: ¿Por qué, pues, mandó Moisés dar carta de divorcio, y repudiarla?(C) Él les dijo: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón Moisés os permitió repudiar a vuestras mujeres; mas al principio no fue así. Y yo os digo que cualquiera que repudia a su mujer, salvo por causa de fornicación, y se casa con otra, adultera; y el que se casa con la repudiada, adultera.(D)

10 Le dijeron sus discípulos: Si así es la condición del hombre con su mujer, no conviene casarse. 11 Entonces él les dijo: No todos son capaces de recibir esto, sino aquellos a quienes es dado. 12 Pues hay eunucos que nacieron así del vientre de su madre, y hay eunucos que son hechos eunucos por los hombres, y hay eunucos que a sí mismos se hicieron eunucos por causa del reino de los cielos. El que sea capaz de recibir esto, que lo reciba.

Jesús bendice a los niños

(Mr. 10.13-16; Lc. 18.15-17)

13 Entonces le fueron presentados unos niños, para que pusiese las manos sobre ellos, y orase; y los discípulos les reprendieron. 14 Pero Jesús dijo: Dejad a los niños venir a mí, y no se lo impidáis; porque de los tales es el reino de los cielos. 15 Y habiendo puesto sobre ellos las manos, se fue de allí.

El joven rico

(Mr. 10.17-31; Lc. 18.18-30)

16 Entonces vino uno y le dijo: Maestro bueno, ¿qué bien haré para tener la vida eterna? 17 Él le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Ninguno hay bueno sino uno: Dios. Mas si quieres entrar en la vida, guarda los mandamientos. 18 Le dijo: ¿Cuáles? Y Jesús dijo: No matarás.(E) No adulterarás.(F) No hurtarás.(G) No dirás falso testimonio.(H) 19 Honra a tu padre y a tu madre;(I) y, Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.(J) 20 El joven le dijo: Todo esto lo he guardado desde mi juventud. ¿Qué más me falta? 21 Jesús le dijo: Si quieres ser perfecto, anda, vende lo que tienes, y dalo a los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; y ven y sígueme. 22 Oyendo el joven esta palabra, se fue triste, porque tenía muchas posesiones.

23 Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: De cierto os digo, que difícilmente entrará un rico en el reino de los cielos. 24 Otra vez os digo, que es más fácil pasar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que entrar un rico en el reino de Dios. 25 Sus discípulos, oyendo esto, se asombraron en gran manera, diciendo: ¿Quién, pues, podrá ser salvo? 26 Y mirándolos Jesús, les dijo: Para los hombres esto es imposible; mas para Dios todo es posible. 27 Entonces respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: He aquí, nosotros lo hemos dejado todo, y te hemos seguido; ¿qué, pues, tendremos? 28 Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto os digo que en la regeneración, cuando el Hijo del Hombre se siente en el trono de su gloria,(K) vosotros que me habéis seguido también os sentaréis sobre doce tronos, para juzgar a las doce tribus de Israel.(L) 29 Y cualquiera que haya dejado casas, o hermanos, o hermanas, o padre, o madre, o mujer, o hijos, o tierras, por mi nombre, recibirá cien veces más, y heredará la vida eterna. 30 Pero muchos primeros serán postreros, y postreros, primeros.(M)

Questions About Divorce

19 Now when[a] Jesus finished these sayings, he left Galilee and went to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan River.[b] Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

Then some Pharisees[c] came to him in order to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful[d] to divorce a wife for any cause?”[e] He answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,[f] and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?[g] So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?”[h] Jesus[i] said to them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts,[j] but from the beginning it was not this way. Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.” 10 The[k] disciples said to him, “If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is better not to marry!” 11 He[l] said to them, “Not everyone can accept this statement, except those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are some eunuchs who were that way from birth,[m] and some who were made eunuchs[n] by others,[o] and some who became eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this should accept it.”

Jesus and Little Children

13 Then little children were brought to him for him to lay his hands on them and pray.[p] But the disciples scolded those who brought them.[q] 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”[r] 15 And he placed his hands on them and went on his way.[s]

The Rich Young Man

16 Now[t] someone came up to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to gain eternal life?”[u] 17 He said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” he asked. Jesus replied, “Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,[v] and love your neighbor as yourself.”[w] 20 The young man said to him, “I have wholeheartedly obeyed[x] all these laws.[y] What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go sell your possessions and give the money[z] to the poor, and you will have treasure[aa] in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 But when the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he was very rich.[ab]

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth,[ac] it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven! 24 Again I say,[ad] it is easier for a camel[ae] to go through the eye of a needle[af] than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.” 25 The[ag] disciples were greatly astonished when they heard this and said, “Then who can be saved?”[ah] 26 Jesus[ai] looked at them and replied, “This is impossible for mere humans,[aj] but for God all things are possible.” 27 Then Peter said[ak] to him, “Look,[al] we have left everything to follow you![am] What then will there be for us?” 28 Jesus[an] said to them, “I tell you the truth:[ao] In the age when all things are renewed,[ap] when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging[aq] the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And whoever has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much[ar] and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Footnotes

  1. Matthew 19:1 tn Grk “it happened when.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
  2. Matthew 19:1 tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity. The region referred to here is sometimes known as Transjordan (i.e., “across the Jordan”).
  3. Matthew 19:3 tn Grk “And Pharisees.”sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.
  4. Matthew 19:3 tc ‡ Most mss have either ἀνθρώπῳ (anthrōpō, “for a man” [so א3 C D W Δ Θ 087 ƒ1, 13 33 1241 M latt]) τινί (tini, “for someone” 700), ἀνθρώπῳ τινί (anthrōpō tini, “for a man” [565]) or ἀνδρί (andri, “for a husband” [1424c]) before the infinitive ἀπολῦσαι (apolusai, “to divorce”). “For a husband” is an assimilation to the parallel in Mark; the other readings may have been motivated by the clarification needed (especially to give the following αὐτοῦ [autou, “his”] an antecedent). But a few significant mss (א* B L Γ 579 1424*) have neither noun or the pronoun. In light of the variety of additions that clarify the subject of the infinitive, and especially since the shorter reading is the more difficult, it is likely that none of these additions was present in the autograph. As the harder reading, the shorter reading seems to best explain the rise of the others. NA28, however, reads ἀνθρώπῳ here.
  5. Matthew 19:3 sn The question of the Pharisees was anything but sincere; they were asking it to test him. Jesus was now in the jurisdiction of Herod Antipas (i.e., Judea and beyond the Jordan) and it is likely that the Pharisees were hoping he might answer the question of divorce in a way similar to John the Baptist and so suffer the same fate as John, i.e., death at the hands of Herod (cf. 14:1-12). Jesus answered the question not on the basis of rabbinic custom and the debate over Deut 24:1, but rather from the account of creation and God’s original design.
  6. Matthew 19:4 sn A quotation from Gen 1:27; 5:2.
  7. Matthew 19:5 sn A quotation from Gen 2:24.
  8. Matthew 19:7 tc ‡ Although the majority of witnesses (B C N W Γ Δ 078 087 ƒ13 33 565 1241 1424 M syp,h) have αὐτήν (autēn, “her”) after the infinitive ἀπολῦσαι (apolusai, “to divorce”), several authorities lack the αὐτήν. This shorter reading may be due to assimilation to the Markan parallel, but since it is attested in early and diverse witnesses (א D L Z Θ ƒ1 579 700 lat) and since the parallel verse (Mark 10:4) already departs at many points, the shorter reading seems more likely to be initial text’s wording here. The pronoun has been included in the translation, however, for clarity. NA28 includes the word in brackets, indicating reservations about its authenticity.sn A quotation from Deut 24:1. The Pharisees were all in agreement that the OT permitted a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce his wife (not vice-versa) and that remarriage was therefore sanctioned. But the two rabbinic schools of Shammai and Hillel differed on the grounds for divorce. Shammai was much stricter than Hillel and permitted divorce only in the case of sexual immorality. Hillel permitted divorce for almost any reason (cf. the Mishnah, m. Gittin 9.10).
  9. Matthew 19:8 tc A few significant witnesses (א Φ a b c mae) have the name “Jesus” here, but it is almost certainly not original. Nevertheless, for clarity’s sake, “Jesus” is added in the translation.tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  10. Matthew 19:8 tn Grk “heart” (a collective singular).
  11. Matthew 19:10 tc ‡ Some significant witnesses, along with the majority of later mss (P25 C D L N W Z Γ Δ 078 ƒ1, 13 33 565 579 700 1241 1424 M lat sy samss bo), read αὐτοῦ (autou, “his”) after μαθηταί (mathētai, “disciples”), but this looks to be a clarifying reading. Other early and significant witnesses lack the pronoun (P71vid א B Θ e ff1 g1 sams mae; SBL), the reading adopted here. NA28 includes the pronoun in brackets, indicating some doubts as to its authenticity.
  12. Matthew 19:11 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  13. Matthew 19:12 tn Grk “from the womb of the mother” (an idiom).
  14. Matthew 19:12 tn The verb εὐνουχίζω occurs twice in this verse, translated the first time as “made eunuchs” and the second time as “became eunuchs.” The term literally refers to castration. The second occurrence of the word in this verse is most likely figurative, though, referring to those who willingly maintain a life of celibacy for the furtherance of the kingdom (see W. D. Davies and D. C. Allison, Matthew [ICC], 3:23).
  15. Matthew 19:12 tn Grk “people.”
  16. Matthew 19:13 tn Grk “so that he would lay his hands on them and pray.”
  17. Matthew 19:13 tn Grk “the disciples scolded them.” In the translation the referent has been specified as “those who brought them,” since otherwise the statement could be understood to mean that the disciples scolded the children rather than their parents who brought them.
  18. Matthew 19:14 sn The kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Children are a picture of those whose simple trust illustrates what faith is all about. The remark illustrates how everyone is important to God, even those whom others regard as insignificant.
  19. Matthew 19:15 tn Grk “went from there.”
  20. Matthew 19:16 tn Grk “And behold one came.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1). Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
  21. Matthew 19:16 sn Here the questioner asks how to gain eternal life. In several places Matthew uses “life” or “eternal life” in proximity with “the kingdom of heaven” or merely “the kingdom,” suggesting a close relationship between the two concepts (compare Matt 25:34 with v. 46; Matt 19:16, 17, 29 with vv. 23, 24). Matthew consistently portrays “eternal life” as something a person enters in the world to come, whereas the Gospel of John sees “eternal life” as beginning in the present and continuing into the future (cf. John 5:24).
  22. Matthew 19:19 sn A quotation from Exod 20:12-16; Deut 5:16-20.
  23. Matthew 19:19 sn A quotation from Lev 19:18.
  24. Matthew 19:20 tn Grk “kept.” The implication of this verb is that the man has obeyed the commandments without fail, so the adverb “wholeheartedly” has been added to the translation to bring out this nuance.
  25. Matthew 19:20 tn Grk “these things.” The referent of the pronoun (the laws mentioned by Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.sn While the rich man was probably being sincere when he insisted I have wholeheartedly obeyed all these laws, he had confined his righteousness to external obedience. The rich man’s response to Jesus’ command—to give away all he had—revealed that internally he loved money more than God.
  26. Matthew 19:21 tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
  27. Matthew 19:21 sn The call for sacrifice comes with a promise of eternal reward: You will have treasure in heaven. Jesus’ call is a test to see how responsive the man is to God’s direction through him. Will he walk the path God’s agent calls him to walk? For a rich person who got it right, see Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10.
  28. Matthew 19:22 tn Grk “he had many possessions.” This term (κτῆμα, ktēma) is often used for land as a possession.
  29. Matthew 19:23 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”
  30. Matthew 19:24 tn Grk “I say to you.”
  31. Matthew 19:24 tc A few, mostly late, witnesses (579 1424 al arm Cyr) read κάμιλον (kamilon, “rope”) for κάμηλον (kamēlon, “camel”), either through accidental misreading of the text or intentionally so as to soften Jesus’ words.
  32. Matthew 19:24 sn The eye of a needle refers to a sewing needle. (Although the story of a small gate in Jerusalem known as “The Needle’s Eye” has been widely circulated and may go back as far as the middle ages, there is no evidence that such a gate ever existed.) Jesus was saying rhetorically that it is impossible for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom, unless God (v. 26) intervenes.
  33. Matthew 19:25 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  34. Matthew 19:25 sn The assumption is that the rich are blessed, so if they risk exclusion, who is left to be saved?
  35. Matthew 19:26 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  36. Matthew 19:26 tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποις (anthrōpois) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women (cf. NASB 1995 update, “people”). Because of the contrast here between mere mortals and God (“impossible for men, but for God all things are possible”) the phrase “mere humans” has been used in the translation. There may also be a slight wordplay with “the Son of Man” in v. 28.
  37. Matthew 19:27 tn Grk “Then answering, Peter said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in contemporary English and has been simplified in the translation.
  38. Matthew 19:27 sn Peter wants reassurance that the disciples’ response and sacrifice have been noticed.
  39. Matthew 19:27 tn Grk “We have left everything and followed you.” Koine Greek often used paratactic structure when hypotactic was implied.
  40. Matthew 19:28 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
  41. Matthew 19:28 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”
  42. Matthew 19:28 sn The Greek term translated the age when all things are renewed (παλιγγενεσία, palingenesia) is understood as a reference to the Messianic age, the time when all things are renewed and restored (cf. Rev 21:5).
  43. Matthew 19:28 sn The statement you…will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel looks at the future authority the Twelve will have when Jesus returns. They will share in Israel’s judgment.
  44. Matthew 19:29 sn Jesus reassures his disciples with a promise that (1) much benefit in this life (a hundred times as much) and (2) eternal life will be given.

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)
