19 At nangyari na nang matapos ni Jesus ang mga salitang ito, ay umalis siya sa Galilea at napasa mga hangganan ng Judea sa dako pa roon ng Jordan;

At nagsisunod sa kaniya ang lubhang maraming tao, at sila'y pinagaling niya doon.

At nagsilapit sa kaniya ang mga Fariseo, na siya'y tinutukso nila, at kanilang sinasabi, Naaayon baga sa kautusan na ihiwalay ng isang lalake ang kaniyang asawa sa bawa't kadahilanan?

At siya'y sumagot at sinabi, Hindi baga ninyo nabasa, na ang lumalang sa kanila buhat sa pasimula, ay sila'y nilalang niya na lalake at babae,

At sinabi, Dahil dito'y iiwan ng lalake ang kaniyang ama at ina, at makikisama sa kaniyang asawa; at ang dalawa ay magiging isang laman?

Kaya nga hindi na sila dalawa, kundi isang laman. Ang pinapagsama nga ng Dios, ay huwag papaghiwalayin ng tao.

Sinabi nila sa kaniya, Bakit nga ipinagutos ni Moises na magbigay ng kasulatan sa paghihiwalay, at ihiwalay ang babae?

Sinabi niya sa kanila, Dahil sa katigasan ng inyong puso ay ipinaubaya sa inyo ni Moises na inyong hiwalayan ang inyong mga asawa: datapuwa't buhat sa pasimula ay hindi gayon.

At sinasabi ko sa inyo, Sinomang ihiwalay ang kaniyang asawang babae, liban na kung sa pakikiapid, at magasawa sa iba, ay nagkakasala ng pangangalunya: at ang magasawa sa babaing yaon na hiniwalayan ay nagkakasala ng pangangalunya.

10 Ang mga alagad ay nangagsasabi sa kaniya, Kung ganyan ang kalagayan ng lalake sa kaniyang asawa, ay hindi nararapat magasawa.

11 Datapuwa't sinabi niya sa kanila, Hindi matatanggap ng lahat ng mga tao ang pananalitang ito, kundi niyaong mga pinagkalooban.

12 Sapagka't may mga bating, na ipinanganak na gayon mula sa tiyan ng kanilang mga ina: at may mga bating, na ginagawang bating ng mga tao: at may mga bating, na nangagpapakabating sa kanilang sarili dahil sa kaharian ng langit. Ang makakatanggap nito, ay pabayaang tumanggap.

13 Nang magkagayon ay dinala sa kaniya ang maliliit na bata, upang ipatong niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kanila, at ipanalangin: at sinaway sila ng mga alagad.

14 Datapuwa't sinabi ni Jesus, Pabayaan ninyo ang maliliit na bata, at huwag ninyong pagbawalan silang magsilapit sa akin: sapagka't sa mga ganito ang kaharian ng langit.

15 At ipinatong niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kanila, at umalis doon.

16 At narito, lumapit sa kaniya ang isa, at nagsabi, Guro, ano ang mabuting bagay na gagawin ko upang ako'y magkaroon ng buhay na walang hanggan?

17 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Bakit mo itinatanong sa akin ang tungkol sa mabuti? May isa, na siyang mabuti: datapuwa't kung ibig mong pumasok sa buhay, ingatan mo ang mga utos.

18 Sinabi niya sa kaniya, Alin-alin? At sinabi ni Jesus, Huwag kang papatay, Huwag kang mangangalunya, Huwag kang magnanakaw, Huwag sasaksi sa di katotohanan,

19 Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ang iyong ina; at, Iibigin mo ang iyong kapuwa na gaya ng iyong sarili.

20 Sinabi sa kaniya ng binata, Ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay ginanap ko: ano pa ang kulang sa akin?

21 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Kung ibig mong maging sakdal, humayo ka, ipagbili mo ang tinatangkilik mo, at ibigay mo sa mga dukha, at magkakaroon ka ng kayamanan sa langit: at pumarito ka, sumunod ka sa akin.

22 Datapuwa't nang marinig ng binata ang ganitong pananalita, ay yumaon siyang namamanglaw; sapagka't siya'y isang may maraming pag-aari.

23 At sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniyang mga alagad, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Mahirap na makapasok ang isang taong mayaman sa kaharian ng langit.

24 At muling sinasabi ko sa inyo, Magaan pa sa isang kamelyo ang dumaan sa butas ng isang karayom, kay sa isang taong mayaman ang pumasok sa kaharian ng Dios.

25 At nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, ay lubhang nangagtaka, na nagsisipagsabi, Sino nga kaya ang makaliligtas?

26 At pagtingin ni Jesus ay sinabi sa kanila, Hindi mangyayari ito sa mga tao; datapuwa't sa Dios ang lahat ng mga bagay ay mangyayari.

27 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Pedro at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, iniwan namin ang lahat, at nagsisunod sa iyo: ano nga baga ang kakamtin namin?

28 At sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na kayong nagsisunod sa akin, sa pagbabagong lahi pagka uupo na ang Anak ng tao sa luklukan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian, kayo nama'y magsisiupo sa labingdalawang luklukan, upang magsihukom sa labingdalawang angkan ng Israel.

29 At ang bawa't magiwan ng mga bahay, o mga kapatid na lalake, o mga kapatid na babae, o ama, o ina, o mga anak, o mga lupa, dahil sa aking pangalan, ay tatanggap ng tigisang daan, at magsisipagmana ng walang hanggang buhay.

30 Datapuwa't maraming mga una na mangahuhuli; at mga huli na mangauuna.

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)

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. And (D)large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

And Pharisees came up to him and (E)tested him by asking, (F)“Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” He answered, (G)“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 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’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. (J)What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” They said to him, (K)“Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” 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. (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.
