VI. L'AVVENTO PROSSIMO DEL REGNO DEI CIELI

1. SEZIONE NARRATIVA

Questione sul divorzio

19 Terminati questi discorsi, Gesù partì dalla Galilea e andò nel territorio della Giudea, al di là del Giordano. 2 E lo seguì molta folla e colà egli guarì i malati.

3 Allora gli si avvicinarono alcuni farisei per metterlo alla prova e gli chiesero: «E' lecito ad un uomo ripudiare la propria moglie per qualsiasi motivo?». 4 Ed egli rispose: «Non avete letto che il Creatore da principio li creò maschio e femmina e disse: 5 Per questo l'uomo lascerà suo padre e sua madre e si unirà a sua moglie e i due saranno una carne sola? 6 Così che non sono più due, ma una carne sola. Quello dunque che Dio ha congiunto, l'uomo non lo separi». 7 Gli obiettarono: «Perché allora Mosè ha ordinato di darle l'atto di ripudio e mandarla via?». 8 Rispose loro Gesù: «Per la durezza del vostro cuore Mosè vi ha permesso di ripudiare le vostre mogli, ma da principio non fu così. 9 Perciò io vi dico: Chiunque ripudia la propria moglie, se non in caso di concubinato, e ne sposa un'altra commette adulterio».

La continenza volontaria

10 Gli dissero i discepoli: «Se questa è la condizione dell'uomo rispetto alla donna, non conviene sposarsi». 11 Egli rispose loro: «Non tutti possono capirlo, ma solo coloro ai quali è stato concesso. 12 Vi sono infatti eunuchi che sono nati così dal ventre della madre; ve ne sono alcuni che sono stati resi eunuchi dagli uomini, e vi sono altri che si sono fatti eunuchi per il regno dei cieli. Chi può capire, capisca».

Gesù e i bambini

13 Allora gli furono portati dei bambini perché imponesse loro le mani e pregasse; ma i discepoli li sgridavano. 14 Gesù però disse loro: «Lasciate che i bambini vengano a me, perché di questi è il regno dei cieli». 15 E dopo avere imposto loro le mani, se ne partì.

Il giovane ricco

16 Ed ecco un tale gli si avvicinò e gli disse: «Maestro, che cosa devo fare di buono per ottenere la vita eterna?». 17 Egli rispose: «Perché mi interroghi su ciò che è buono? Uno solo è buono. Se vuoi entrare nella vita, osserva i comandamenti». 18 Ed egli chiese: «Quali?». Gesù rispose: «Non uccidere, non commettere adulterio, non rubare, non testimoniare il falso, 19 onora il padre e la madre, ama il prossimo tuo come te stesso». 20 Il giovane gli disse: «Ho sempre osservato tutte queste cose; che mi manca ancora?». 21 Gli disse Gesù: «Se vuoi essere perfetto, và, vendi quello che possiedi, dallo ai poveri e avrai un tesoro nel cielo; poi vieni e seguimi». 22 Udito questo, il giovane se ne andò triste; poiché aveva molte ricchezze.

Il pericolo delle ricchezze

23 Gesù allora disse ai suoi discepoli: «In verità vi dico: difficilmente un ricco entrerà nel regno dei cieli. 24 Ve lo ripeto: è più facile che un cammello passi per la cruna di un ago, che un ricco entri nel regno dei cieli». 25 A queste parole i discepoli rimasero costernati e chiesero: «Chi si potrà dunque salvare?». 26 E Gesù, fissando su di loro lo sguardo, disse: «Questo è impossibile agli uomini, ma a Dio tutto è possibile».

Ricompensa promessa alla rinuncia

27 Allora Pietro prendendo la parola disse: «Ecco, noi abbiamo lasciato tutto e ti abbiamo seguito; che cosa dunque ne otterremo?». 28 E Gesù disse loro: «In verità vi dico: voi che mi avete seguito, nella nuova creazione, quando il Figlio dell'uomo sarà seduto sul trono della sua gloria, siederete anche voi su dodici troni a giudicare le dodici tribù di Israele. 29 Chiunque avrà lasciato case, o fratelli, o sorelle, o padre, o madre, o figli, o campi per il mio nome, riceverà cento volte tanto e avrà in eredità la vita eterna.

30 Molti dei primi saranno ultimi e gli ultimi i primi».

On Divorce

19 And it happened that when Jesus had finished these statements, he went away from Galilee and came into the region of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. 2 And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. 3 And Pharisees came up to him in order to[a] test him, and asked[b] if it was permitted for a man to divorce his wife for any cause. 4 And he answered and[c] said, “Have you not read that the one who created them[d] from the beginning made them male and female 5 and said, ‘On account of this a man will leave his[e] father and his[f] mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?[g] 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.” 7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us[h] to give a document—a certificate of divorce—and to divorce her?” 8 He said to them, “Moses, with reference to your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not like this. 9 Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on the basis of sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”[i]

10 The disciples[j] said to him, “If this is the case of a man with his[k] wife, it would be better not to marry!” 11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can accept this saying but those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born as such from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by people, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs[l] for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this,[m] let him accept it.”[n]

Little Children Brought to Jesus

13 Then children were brought to him so that he could lay his[o] hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for to such belongs[p] the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And he laid his[q] hands on them and[r] traveled on from there.

A Rich Young Man

16 And behold, someone came up to him and[s] said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I will have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why are you asking me about what is good? There is one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, 19 honor your[t] father and your[u] mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have observed. What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give the proceeds[v] to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.” 22 But when[w] the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful, because he was one who had many possessions.

23 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you that with difficulty a rich person will enter into 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 a rich person into[x] the kingdom of God.” 25 So when[y] the disciples heard this,[z] they were extremely amazed, saying, “Then who can be saved?” 26 But Jesus looked at them[aa] and[ab] said to them, “With human beings this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 27 Then Peter answered and[ac] said to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will there be for us?” 28 And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that in the renewal of the world,[ad] when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me—you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[ae] or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Matteus 19

Jesus talar om äktenskap och skilsmässa

(Mark 10:1-12)

19 När Jesus hade avslutat detta tal, lämnade han Galileen och gick mot Judeen och till andra sidan Jordan. 2 Stora folkmassor följde honom dit, och han botade dem.

3 Då kom några fariseer för att pröva Jesus. De frågade: ”Har en man[a] rätt att skilja sig från sin hustru av vilken orsak som helst?” 4 ”Har ni inte läst i Skriften?” svarade Jesus, ”att från början skapade Gud dem till man och kvinna,[b] och 5 att en man därför lämnar sin far och mor och håller sig till sin hustru, så att de två blir ett kött.[c] 6 De är alltså inte längre två utan en kropp. Och vad Gud har förenat, får människan inte skilja åt.”

7 Då frågade de: ”Varför bestämde då Mose att en man kan ge ett intyg om skilsmässan och skicka iväg kvinnan?”[d]

8 Jesus svarade: ”Mose tillät er att skiljas för era hårda hjärtans skull, men det var inte så från början. 9 Jag säger er att den som skiljer sig från sin hustru, utan att hon varit otrogen, och sedan gifter sig med en annan, han begår äktenskapsbrott.[e]”

10 Då sa hans lärjungar till honom: ”Om det är på det sättet, är det bättre att inte gifta sig alls.” 11 Men Jesus svarade: ”Alla kan inte ta till sig detta, utan bara de som fått den gåvan. 12 En del föds utan könsidentitet, andra har kastrerats av människor, och andra lever frivilligt i avhållsamhet och avstår från att gifta sig för himmelrikets skull. Den som kan ta till sig detta, ska göra det.”

Jesus ber för barnen

(Mark 10:13-16; Luk 18:15-17)

13 Sedan kom man till Jesus med barn för att han skulle lägga händerna på dem och be. Men hans lärjungar körde bort dem.

14 Då sa Jesus: ”Låt barnen komma till mig och hindra dem inte, för himmelriket tillhör sådana som de.” 15 Så lade han händerna på barnen. Sedan gick han därifrån.

Jesus talar med en rik ung man

(Mark 10:17-31; Luk 18:18-30)

16 En ung man kom nu och frågade Jesus: ”Mästare, vad ska jag göra för gott för att få evigt liv?”

17 ”Varför frågar du mig om vad som är gott?” svarade Jesus. ”Det finns bara en som är god. Men evigt liv kan du få om du håller buden.” 18 ”Vilka av buden?” frågade mannen. Jesus svarade: ” ’Du ska inte mörda, Du ska inte vara otrogen i ditt äktenskap, Du ska inte stjäla, Du ska inte vittna falskt, 19 Visa respekt för din far och mor, och Du ska älska din medmänniska som dig själv.’ ”[f]

20 ”Jag har hållit alla dessa”, svarade den unga mannen. ”Vad mer behöver jag göra?”

21 Jesus sa till honom: ”Om du vill bli fullkomlig, så gå och sälj allt du äger och ge pengarna till de fattiga. Då ska du få en skatt i himlen. Kom sedan och följ mig.”

22 Men när den unga mannen hörde detta gick han bedrövad därifrån, för han ägde mycket.

23 Då sa Jesus till sina lärjungar: ”Sannerligen säger jag er: det är svårt för en rik människa att komma in i himmelriket! 24 Ja, jag säger er att det är lättare för en kamel att komma igenom ett nålsöga än för en rik att komma in i Guds rike.”

25 Detta påstående gjorde hans lärjungar förskräckta, och de sa: ”Vem kan då bli räddad?” 26 Jesus såg på dem och sa: ”För människorna är det inte möjligt, men för Gud är allting möjligt.”

27 Då sa Petrus till honom: ”Vi har ju lämnat allt för att följa dig. Kommer vi att få något för det?”

28 ”Ja”, svarade Jesus. ”Sannerligen säger jag er: vid världens pånyttfödelse, när Människosonen sätter sig på sin härlighets tron, då ska också ni som har följt mig få sitta på tolv troner och döma Israels tolv stammar. 29 Var och en som har lämnat hus eller syskon eller föräldrar eller barn eller åkrar för min skull ska få hundrafalt igen och få evigt liv som arv. 30 Många som är sist ska bli först, och många som är först ska bli sist.

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)
