Mateus 19
O Livro
O divórcio
(Mc 10.1-12)
19 Após ter dado estes ensinos, Jesus saiu da Galileia e dirigiu-se à região da Judeia, na outra margem do Jordão. 2 Grandes multidões o seguiam e curou os doentes.
3 Alguns fariseus foram ter com Jesus, para o pôr à prova, e perguntaram-lhe se era lícito um marido divorciar-se da mulher por todo e qualquer motivo.
4 “Não leem as Escrituras? Nelas está escrito que, desde o princípio, o Criador criou o homem e a mulher.[a] 5 Assim, ‘o homem deve deixar o pai e a mãe, para se unir com a sua mulher, e serão os dois como um só’.[b] 6 Por conseguinte, não mais serão dois, mas como um só. E nenhum homem separe o que Deus juntou.”
7 “Então”, perguntaram os fariseus, “porque é que Moisés mandou dar uma declaração de divórcio à mulher e mandá-la embora?”
8 Jesus respondeu-lhes: “Moisés permitiu-vos que mandem embora as vossas mulheres por causa da dureza do vosso coração, mas no início não era assim que sucedia. 9 E digo-vos que quem se divorciar da sua mulher, salvo em caso de imoralidade sexual, e se casar com outra, comete adultério.”
10 Os discípulos disseram-lhe: “Sendo assim o melhor é não casar!”
11 “Nem todos podem aceitar isso; só aqueles a quem Deus ajuda. 12 Alguns nascem já incapazes para o casamento e outros são incapacitados pelos homens; alguns outros, ainda, não querem casar-se por causa do reino dos céus. Quem puder aceitar que aceite.”
Jesus e as crianças
(Mc 10.13-16; Lc 18.15-17)
13 Traziam crianças a Jesus para que colocasse sobre elas as mãos e orasse, mas os discípulos diziam-lhes que fossem embora. 14 Jesus disse-lhes: “Deixem as crianças vir a mim! Não as devem impedir, porque o reino dos céus pertence aos que são como estas crianças.” 15 E, colocando as mãos sobre elas, abençoou-as e foi-se embora.
O homem rico
(Mc 10.17-31; Lc 18.18-30)
16 Um jovem aproximou-se e fez esta pergunta: “Mestre, que farei de bom para alcançar a vida eterna?”
17 “Porque me perguntas acerca do que é bom?”, perguntou-lhe Jesus. “Bom só há um. Se queres entrar na vida, guarda os mandamentos.”
18 “Quais?”, perguntou o jovem.
E Jesus respondeu: “Não mates, não adulteres, não roubes, não profiras uma falsa acusação contra outra pessoa, 19 honra o teu pai e a tua mãe e ama o teu próximo como a ti mesmo[c].”
20 “Tenho obedecido a todos estes mandamentos”, respondeu o jovem. “Que mais preciso de fazer?”
21 “Se queres ser perfeito, vai, vende os teus bens, dá o dinheiro aos pobres e terás um tesouro nos céus. Vem e segue-me!” 22 Ao ouvir isto, o rapaz foi-se embora triste, porque era muito rico.
23 Jesus disse aos discípulos: “É realmente como vos digo: é quase impossível um rico entrar no reino dos céus! 24 É mesmo mais fácil um camelo passar pelo fundo duma agulha do que um rico entrar no reino de Deus!”
25 Os discípulos, porém, ao ouvirem isto, ficaram grandemente admirados, dizendo: “Então quem é que neste mundo poderá salvar-se?”
26 Jesus olhou para eles e respondeu: “Humanamente falando, ninguém. Mas a Deus tudo é possível.”
27 Então, em resposta, Pedro retorquiu-lhe: “Nós deixámos tudo para te seguir. Que proveito tiramos disso?”
28 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: “É realmente como vos digo: aqueles de vocês que me seguirem, quando o Filho do Homem se sentar no seu glorioso trono no reino, sentar-se-ão em doze tronos, para julgar as doze tribos de Israel. 29 Todo aquele que abandonar a sua casa, irmãos, irmãs, pai, mãe, filhos e terras por minha causa, receberá em recompensa cem vezes tanto, e terá a vida eterna. 30 Porém, muitos primeiros virão a ser últimos, e os últimos virão a ser primeiros.”
Mateus 19
Nova Traduҫão na Linguagem de Hoje 2000
Jesus fala sobre o divórcio(A)
19 Depois de dizer isso, Jesus saiu da Galileia e foi para a região da Judeia que fica no lado leste do rio Jordão. 2 Uma grande multidão o seguiu, e ali ele curou os doentes.
3 Alguns fariseus chegaram perto dele e, querendo conseguir alguma prova contra ele, perguntaram:
— Será que pela nossa Lei um homem pode, por qualquer motivo, mandar a sua esposa embora?
4 Jesus respondeu:
— Por acaso vocês não leram o trecho das Escrituras que diz: “No começo o Criador os fez homem e mulher”? 5 E Deus disse: “Por isso o homem deixa o seu pai e a sua mãe para se unir com a sua mulher, e os dois se tornam uma só pessoa.” 6 Assim já não são duas pessoas, mas uma só. Portanto, que ninguém separe o que Deus uniu.
7 Os fariseus perguntaram:
— Nesse caso, por que é que Moisés permitiu ao homem mandar a sua esposa embora se der a ela um documento de divórcio?
8 Jesus respondeu:
— Moisés deu essa permissão por causa da dureza do coração de vocês; mas no princípio da criação não era assim. 9 Portanto, eu afirmo a vocês o seguinte: o homem que mandar a sua esposa embora, a não ser em caso de adultério, se tornará adúltero se casar com outra mulher.
10 Os discípulos de Jesus disseram:
— Se é esta a situação entre o homem e a sua esposa, então é melhor não casar.
11 Jesus respondeu:
— Este ensinamento não é para todos, mas somente para aqueles a quem Deus o tem dado. 12 Pois há razões diferentes que tornam alguns homens incapazes para o casamento: uns, porque nasceram assim; outros, porque foram castrados; e outros ainda não casam por causa do Reino do Céu. Quem puder, que aceite este ensinamento.
Jesus e as crianças(B)
13 Depois disso, algumas pessoas levaram as suas crianças para Jesus pôr as mãos sobre elas e orar, mas os discípulos repreenderam as pessoas que fizeram isso. 14 Aí ele disse:
— Deixem que as crianças venham a mim e não proíbam que elas façam isso, pois o Reino do Céu é das pessoas que são como estas crianças.
15 Então Jesus pôs as mãos sobre elas e foi embora.
O moço rico(C)
16 Certa vez um homem chegou perto de Jesus e perguntou:
— Mestre, o que devo fazer de bom para conseguir a vida eterna?
17 Jesus respondeu:
— Por que é que você está me perguntando a respeito do que é bom? Bom só existe um. Se você quer entrar na vida eterna, guarde os mandamentos.
18 — Que mandamentos? — perguntou ele.
Jesus respondeu:
— “Não mate, não cometa adultério, não roube, não dê falso testemunho contra ninguém, 19 respeite o seu pai e a sua mãe e ame os outros como você ama a você mesmo.”
20 — Eu tenho obedecido a todos esses mandamentos! — respondeu o moço. — O que mais me falta fazer?
21 Jesus respondeu:
— Se você quer ser perfeito, vá, venda tudo o que tem, e dê o dinheiro aos pobres, e assim você terá riquezas no céu. Depois venha e me siga.
22 Quando o moço ouviu isso, foi embora triste, pois era muito rico. 23 Jesus então disse aos discípulos:
— Eu afirmo a vocês que isto é verdade: é muito difícil um rico entrar no Reino do Céu. 24 E digo ainda que é mais difícil um rico entrar no Reino de Deus do que um camelo passar pelo fundo de uma agulha.
25 Quando ouviram isso, os discípulos ficaram muito admirados e perguntavam:
— Então, quem é que pode se salvar?
26 Jesus olhou para eles e respondeu:
— Para os seres humanos isso não é possível; mas, para Deus, tudo é possível.
27 Aí Pedro disse:
— Veja! Nós deixamos tudo e seguimos o senhor. O que é que nós vamos ganhar?
28 Jesus respondeu:
— Eu afirmo a vocês que isto é verdade: quando chegar o tempo em que Deus vai renovar tudo e o Filho do Homem se sentar no seu trono glorioso, vocês, os meus discípulos, também vão sentar-se em doze tronos para julgar as doze tribos do povo de Israel. 29 E todos os que, por minha causa, deixarem casas, irmãos, irmãs, pai, mãe, filhos ou terras receberão cem vezes mais e também a vida eterna. 30 Muitos que agora são os primeiros serão os últimos, e muitos que agora são os últimos serão os primeiros.

Teaching about divorce
19 When Jesus finished saying these things, he left Galilee and came to the area of Judea on the east side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them. 3 Some Pharisees came to him. In order to test him, they said, “Does the Law allow a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”
4 Jesus answered, “Haven’t you read that at the beginning the creator made them male and female?[a] 5 And God said, ‘Because of this a man should leave his father and mother and be joined together with his wife, and the two will be one flesh.’[b] 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, humans must not pull apart what God has put together.”
7 The Pharisees said to him, “Then why did Moses command us to give a divorce certificate and divorce her?”[c]
8 Jesus replied, “Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because your hearts are unyielding. But it wasn’t that way from the beginning. 9 I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10 His disciples said to him, “If that’s the way things are between a man and his wife, then it’s better not to marry.”
11 He replied, “Not everybody can accept this teaching, but only those who have received the ability to accept it. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been eunuchs from birth. And there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by other people. And there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of heaven. Those who can accept it should accept it.”
Jesus blesses children
13 Some people brought children to Jesus so that he would place his hands on them and pray. But the disciples scolded them. 14 “Allow the children to come to me,” Jesus said. “Don’t forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children.” 15 Then he blessed the children and went away from there.
A rich man’s question
16 A man approached him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?”
17 Jesus said, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There’s only one who is good. If you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments.”
18 The man said, “Which ones?”
Then Jesus said, “Don’t commit murder. Don’t commit adultery. Don’t steal. Don’t give false testimony. 19 Honor your father and mother,[d] and love your neighbor as you love yourself.”[e]
20 The young man replied, “I’ve kept all these. What am I still missing?”
21 Jesus said, “If you want to be complete, go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come follow me.”
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away saddened, because he had many possessions.
Teaching about giving up things
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I assure you that it will be very hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 In fact, it’s easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.”
25 When his disciples heard this, they were stunned. “Then who can be saved?” they asked.
26 Jesus looked at them carefully and said, “It’s impossible for human beings. But all things are possible for God.”
27 Then Peter replied, “Look, we’ve left everything and followed you. What will we have?”
28 Jesus said to them, “I assure you who have followed me that, when everything is made new, when the Human One[f] sits on his magnificent throne, you also will sit on twelve thrones overseeing the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And all who have left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or farms because of my name will receive one hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last. And many who are last will be first.

New International Version
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. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them(C) there.
3 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?”
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a](E) 5 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) 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”(G)
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 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)

Matthew 19
King James Version
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;
2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 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?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 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?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 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.
9 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.
