Über Ehescheidung und Ehelosigkeit
19 Und es geschah, als Jesus diese Worte beendet hatte, verließ er Galiläa und kam in das Gebiet von Judäa jenseits des Jordan.
2 Und es folgte ihm eine große Volksmenge nach, und er heilte sie dort.
3 Da traten die Pharisäer zu ihm, versuchten ihn und fragten ihn: Ist es einem Mann erlaubt, aus irgendeinem Grund seine Frau zu entlassen?
4 Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Habt ihr nicht gelesen, dass der Schöpfer sie am Anfang als Mann und Frau erschuf
5 und sprach: »Darum wird ein Mann Vater und Mutter verlassen und seiner Frau anhängen; und die zwei werden ein Fleisch sein«?[a]
6 So sind sie nicht mehr zwei, sondern ein Fleisch. Was nun Gott zusammengefügt hat, das soll der Mensch nicht scheiden!
7 Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Warum hat denn Mose befohlen, ihr einen Scheidebrief zu geben und sie so zu entlassen?
8 Er sprach zu ihnen: Mose hat euch wegen der Härtigkeit eures Herzens erlaubt, eure Frauen zu entlassen; von Anfang an aber ist es nicht so gewesen.
9 Ich sage euch aber: Wer seine Frau entlässt, es sei denn wegen Unzucht, und eine andere heiratet, der bricht die Ehe; und wer eine Geschiedene heiratet, der bricht die Ehe.
10 Da sprechen seine Jünger zu ihm: Wenn ein Mann solche Pflichten gegen seine Frau hat, so ist es nicht gut, zu heiraten!
11 Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Nicht alle fassen dieses Wort, sondern nur die, denen es gegeben ist.
12 Denn es gibt Verschnittene[b], die von Mutterleib so geboren sind; und es gibt Verschnittene, die von Menschen verschnitten sind; und es gibt Verschnittene, die sich selbst verschnitten haben um des Reiches der Himmel willen. Wer es fassen kann, der fasse es!
Jesus segnet die Kinder
13 Da wurden Kinder zu ihm gebracht, damit er die Hände auf sie lege und bete. Die Jünger aber tadelten sie.
14 Aber Jesus sprach: Lasst die Kinder und wehrt ihnen nicht, zu mir zu kommen; denn solcher ist das Reich der Himmel![c]
15 Und nachdem er ihnen die Hände aufgelegt hatte, zog er von dort weg.
Der reiche Jüngling
16 Und siehe, einer trat herzu und fragte ihn: Guter Meister, was soll ich Gutes tun, um das ewige Leben zu erlangen?
17 Er aber sprach zu ihm: Was nennst du mich gut? Niemand ist gut als Gott allein! Willst du aber in das Leben eingehen, so halte die Gebote!
18 Er sagt zu ihm: Welche? Jesus aber sprach: Das »Du sollst nicht töten! Du sollst nicht ehebrechen! Du sollst nicht stehlen! Du sollst nicht falsches Zeugnis reden!
19 Ehre deinen Vater und deine Mutter!«[d] und »Du sollst deinen Nächsten lieben wie dich selbst!«[e]
20 Der junge Mann spricht zu ihm: Das habe ich alles gehalten von meiner Jugend an; was fehlt mir noch?
21 Jesus sprach zu ihm: Willst du vollkommen sein, so geh hin, verkaufe, was du hast, und gib es den Armen, so wirst du einen Schatz im Himmel haben; und komm, folge mir nach!
22 Als aber der junge Mann das Wort hörte, ging er betrübt davon; denn er hatte viele Güter.
23 Da sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Ein Reicher hat es schwer, in das Reich der Himmel hineinzukommen!
24 Und wiederum sage ich euch: Es ist leichter, dass ein Kamel durch ein Nadelöhr geht, als dass ein Reicher in das Reich Gottes hineinkommt!
25 Als seine Jünger das hörten, entsetzten sie sich sehr und sprachen: Wer kann dann überhaupt gerettet werden?
26 Jesus aber sah sie an und sprach zu ihnen: Bei den Menschen ist dies unmöglich; aber bei Gott sind alle Dinge möglich.
Vom Lohn der Nachfolge Jesu
27 Da antwortete Petrus und sprach zu ihm: Siehe, wir haben alles verlassen und sind dir nachgefolgt; was wird uns dafür zuteil?
28 Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Ihr, die ihr mir nachgefolgt seid, werdet in der Wiedergeburt, wenn der Sohn des Menschen auf dem Thron seiner Herrlichkeit sitzen wird, auch auf zwölf Thronen sitzen und die zwölf Stämme Israels richten.
29 Und jeder, der Häuser oder Brüder oder Schwestern oder Vater oder Mutter oder Frau oder Kinder oder Äcker verlassen hat um meines Namens willen, der wird es hundertfältig empfangen und das ewige Leben erben.
30 Aber viele von den Ersten werden Letzte, und Letzte werden Erste sein.

A Discussion about Divorce and Celibacy(A)
19 When Jesus finished speaking, he left Galilee and traveled along the other side of the Jordan River to the territory of Judea. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, “Can a man divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 Jesus answered, “Haven’t you read that the Creator made them male and female in the beginning 5 and that he said, ‘That’s why a man will leave his father and mother and will remain united with his wife, and the two will be one’? 6 So they are no longer two but one. Therefore, don’t let anyone separate what God has joined together.”
7 The Pharisees asked him, “Why, then, did Moses order a man to give his wife a written notice to divorce her?”
8 Jesus answered them, “Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you’re heartless. It was never this way in the beginning. 9 I can guarantee that whoever divorces his wife for any reason other than her unfaithfulness is committing adultery if he marries another woman.”
10 The disciples said to him, “If that is the only reason a man can use to divorce his wife, it’s better not to get married.”
11 He answered them, “Not everyone can do what you suggest. Only those who have that gift can. 12 For example, some men are celibate because they were born that way. Others are celibate because they were castrated. Still others have decided to be celibate because of the kingdom of heaven. If anyone can do what you’ve suggested, then he should do it.”
Jesus Blesses Children(B)
13 Then some people brought little children to Jesus to have him bless them and pray for them. But the disciples told the people not to do that.
14 Jesus said, “Don’t stop children from coming to me! Children like these are part of God’s kingdom.” 15 After Jesus blessed them, he went away from there.
Eternal Life in the Kingdom(C)
16 Then a man came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good deed should I do to gain eternal life?”
17 Jesus said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter into life, obey the commandments.”
18 “Which commandments?” the man asked.
Jesus said, “Never murder. Never commit adultery. Never steal. Never give false testimony. 19 Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”
20 The young man replied, “I have obeyed all these commandments. What else do I need to do?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, sell what you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad because he owned a lot of property.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “I can guarantee this truth: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 I can guarantee again that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.”
25 He amazed his disciples more than ever when they heard this. “Then who can be saved?” they asked.
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “It is impossible for people ⌞to save themselves⌟, but everything is possible for God.”
27 Then Peter replied to him, “Look, we’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?”
28 Jesus said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: When the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the world to come, you, my followers, will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who gave up homes, brothers or sisters, father, mother, children, or fields because of my name will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. 30 However, many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

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)

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.
