Matthew 19
New King James Version
Marriage and Divorce(A)
19 Now it came to pass, (B)when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 (C)And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who [a]made them at the beginning (D)‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, (E)‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and (F)the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
7 They said to Him, (G)“Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the (H)hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your (I)wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 9 (J)And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for [b]sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
10 His disciples said to Him, (K)“If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
Jesus Teaches on Celibacy
11 But He said to them, (L)“All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: 12 For there are [c]eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and (M)there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children(N)
13 (O)Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for (P)of such is the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler(Q)
16 (R)Now behold, one came and said to Him, (S)“Good[d] Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”
17 So He said to him, [e]“Why do you call Me good? [f]No one is (T)good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, (U)keep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said, (V)“‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 (W)‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, (X)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have (Y)kept [g]from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, (Z)go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
With God All Things Are Possible(AA)
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that (AB)it is hard for a rich man to enter 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 for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but (AC)with God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, (AD)we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”
28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, (AE)you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 (AF)And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother [h]or wife or children or [i]lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30 (AG)But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

19 Now kai ginomai when hote Jesus Iēsous had finished teleō · ho · ho these houtos sayings logos, he left metairō · ho Galilee Galilaia and kai went erchomai to eis the ho region horion of ho Judea Ioudaia beyond peran the ho Jordan Iordanēs River. 2 · kai Large polys crowds ochlos followed akoloutheō him autos, and kai he healed therapeuō them autos there ekei.
3 · kai Some Pharisees Pharisaios came proserchomai to him autos and kai tested peirazō him autos by asking legō, “Is it lawful for a man anthrōpos to divorce apolyō · ho his autos wife gynē for kata any pas cause aitia?” 4 He ho · de answered apokrinomai, saying legō, “ Have you not ou read anaginōskō that hoti he ho who created ktizō them from apo the beginning archē ‘ made poieō them autos male arsēn and kai female thēlys?’” 5 And kai he added legō, “For this reason houtos a man anthrōpos will leave kataleipō his ho father patēr and kai · ho mother mētēr and kai be joined kollaō to ho his autos wife gynē, and kai the ho two dyo will become eimi one heis flesh sarx.’ 6 So hōste then they are eimi no ouketi longer two dyo, but alla one heis flesh sarx. Therefore oun what hos · ho God theos has joined syzeugnymi together , no mē one anthrōpos must separate chōrizō.” 7 “ Why tis then oun,” they asked legō, “ did Moses Mōysēs command entellō that a certificate biblion of divorce apostasion be given didōmi before kai she autos be sent apolyō away ?” 8 Jesus replied legō to them autos, “ Moses Mōysēs allowed epitrepō you hymeis to divorce apolyō your hymeis wives gynē because pros of the ho hardness sklērokardia of your hymeis hearts ; · ho but de it was ginomai not ou that way houtōs from apo the beginning archē. 9 But de I say legō to you hymeis, whoever hos an divorces apolyō · ho his autos wife gynē, except mē for epi sexual porneia immorality , and kai marries gameō another allos, commits moichaō adultery .” 10 The ho disciples mathētēs said legō to him autos, “ If ei such houtōs is eimi the ho case aitia of ho a man anthrōpos with meta his ho wife gynē, it is better sympherō not ou to marry gameō.” 11 Jesus ho · de replied legō to them autos, “ Not ou everyone pas can accept chōreō · ho this houtos statement logos, but alla only those hos to whom it is given didōmi. 12 For gar there are eimi eunuchs eunouchos who hostis have been gennaō that way houtōs from ek their mother’ s mētēr womb koilia, and kai there are eimi eunuchs eunouchos who hostis were made eunuchs by hypo · ho others anthrōpos, and kai there are eimi eunuchs eunouchos who hostis made themselves heautou eunuchs for dia the sake of the ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos.

13 Then tote children paidion were brought prospherō to Jesus autos so hina that he might lay epitithēmi his ho hands cheir on epitithēmi them autos and kai pray proseuchomai, but de the ho disciples mathētēs rebuked epitimaō those who brought them autos. 14 · ho But de Jesus Iēsous said legō, “ Let aphiēmi the ho children paidion come erchomai to pros me egō and kai do not mē try to prevent kōlyō them autos, · ho for gar the ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos belongs eimi to such toioutos as these .” 15 And kai he placed epitithēmi his ho hands cheir on them autos and went poreuō on his way ekeithen.
16 · kai A heis young man came proserchomai up to Jesus autos and asked legō, “ Teacher didaskalos, what tis good agathos thing must I do poieō so hina that I may have echō eternal aiōnios life zōē?” 17 And de Jesus ho replied legō to him autos, “ Why tis do you ask erōtaō me egō about peri what ho is good agathos? There is eimi only one heis who ho is good agathos. If ei · de you want thelō to enter eiserchomai · ho life zōē, keep tēreō the ho commandments entolē.” 18 “ Which ones poios?” he inquired legō. · ho And de Jesus Iēsous said legō, · ho “‘ Do not ou murder phoneuō, Do not ou commit moicheuō adultery , Do not ou steal kleptō, Do not ou give pseudomartyreō false testimony , 19 Honor timaō your ho father patēr and kai · ho mother mētēr, and kai, Love agapaō · ho your sy neighbor plēsion as hōs yourself seautou.” 20 The ho young man neaniskos said legō to him autos, “ All pas these houtos I have kept phylassō.
