Matthew 19
Good News Translation
Jesus Teaches about Divorce(A)
19 When Jesus finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went to the territory of Judea on the other side of the Jordan River. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him by asking, “Does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife for whatever reason he wishes?”
4 (B)Jesus answered, “Haven't you read the scripture that says that in the beginning the Creator made people male and female? 5 (C)And God said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two will become one.’ 6 So they are no longer two, but one. No human being must separate, then, what God has joined together.”
7 (D)The Pharisees asked him, “Why, then, did Moses give the law for a man to hand his wife a divorce notice and send her away?”
8 Jesus answered, “Moses gave you permission to divorce your wives because you are so hard to teach. But it was not like that at the time of creation. 9 (E)I tell you, then, that any man who divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, commits adultery if he marries some other woman.”
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is how it is between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Jesus answered, “This teaching does not apply to everyone, but only to those to whom God has given it. 12 For there are different reasons why men cannot marry: some, because they were born that way; others, because men made them that way; and others do not marry for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Let him who can accept this teaching do so.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children(F)
13 Some people brought children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and to pray for them, but the disciples scolded the people. 14 Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 He placed his hands on them and then went away.
The Rich Young Man(G)
16 Once a man came to Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what good thing must I do to receive eternal life?”
17 “Why do you ask me concerning what is good?” answered Jesus. “There is only One who is good. Keep the commandments if you want to enter life.”
18 (H)“What commandments?” he asked.
Jesus answered, “Do not commit murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not accuse anyone falsely; 19 (I)respect your father and your mother; and love your neighbor as you love yourself.”
20 “I have obeyed all these commandments,” the young man replied. “What else do I need to do?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was very rich.
23 Jesus then said to his disciples, “I assure you: it will be very hard for rich people to enter the Kingdom of heaven. 24 I repeat: it is much harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were completely amazed. “Who, then, can be saved?” they asked.
26 Jesus looked straight at them and answered, “This is impossible for human beings, but for God everything is possible.”
27 Then Peter spoke up. “Look,” he said, “we have left everything and followed you. What will we have?”
28 (J)Jesus said to them, “You can be sure that when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the New Age, then you twelve followers of mine will also sit on thrones, to rule the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake, will receive a hundred times more and will be given eternal life. 30 (K)But many who now are first will be last, and many who now are last will be first.
Mateo 19
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Turo ni Jesus tungkol sa Diborsyo(A)
19 Nang matapos ni Jesus ang mga pananalitang ito, umalis siya sa Galilea at nagtungo sa mga nasasakupan ng Judea sa dakong ibayo ng Jordan.
2 Sumunod sa kanya ang napakaraming tao at sila'y pinagaling niya roon.
3 Lumapit sa kanya ang mga Fariseo at upang siya'y masubok ay kanilang itinanong, “Sang-ayon ba sa batas na hiwalayan ng isang tao ang kanyang asawa sa anumang kadahilanan?”
4 Ngunit(B) siya'y sumagot at sinabi, “Hindi ba ninyo nabasa na ang lumikha sa kanila buhat sa pasimula ay nilikha silang lalaki at babae,
5 at(C) kanyang sinabi, ‘Dahil dito, iiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama at ina at makikisama sa kanyang asawa, at ang dalawa ay magiging isang laman?’
6 Kaya, hindi na sila dalawa, kundi isang laman. Ang pinagsama nga ng Diyos, ay huwag papaghiwalayin ng tao.”
7 Sinabi(D) nila sa kanya, ‘Kung gayon, bakit ipinag-utos ni Moises sa amin na magbigay ng kasulatan ng paghihiwalay at hiwalayan ang babae?’
8 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Dahil sa katigasan ng inyong puso ay ipinahintulot sa inyo ni Moises na inyong hiwalayan ang inyong mga asawang babae; ngunit buhat sa pasimula ay hindi gayon.
9 At(E) sinasabi ko sa inyo: sinumang ihiwalay ang kanyang asawang babae, maliban sa pakikiapid ang dahilan, at mag-asawa ng iba, ay nagkakasala ng pangangalunya.[a] At ang mag-asawa sa babaing inihiwalay ay nagkakasala ng pangangalunya.”
10 Sinabi ng mga alagad sa kanya, “Kung gayon ang kalagayan ng lalaki sa kanyang asawa, mas mabuti pang huwag mag-asawa.”
11 Ngunit sinabi niya sa kanila, “Hindi matatanggap ng lahat ang pananalitang ito, kundi iyon lamang pinagkalooban nito.
12 Sapagkat may mga eunuko,[b] na ipinanganak na gayon mula sa sinapupunan ng kanilang mga ina; at may mga eunuko na ginawang eunuko ng mga tao; at may mga eunuko na ginawang eunuko ang kanilang mga sarili alang-alang sa kaharian ng langit. Ang makakatanggap nito, ay hayaang tumanggap.”
Pinagpala ni Jesus ang Maliliit na Bata(F)
13 Pagkatapos ay dinala sa kanya ang maliliit na bata, upang ipatong niya ang kanyang mga kamay sa kanila at ipanalangin. Ngunit sinaway ng mga alagad ang mga tao.
14 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Hayaan ninyo ang maliliit na bata, at huwag ninyo silang pagbawalang lumapit sa akin, sapagkat sa mga tulad nila nauukol ang kaharian ng langit.”
15 Ipinatong niya ang kanyang mga kamay sa kanila, at umalis doon.
Ang Binatang Mayaman(G)
16 May isang lumapit sa kanya at nagsabi, “Guro, anong mabuting bagay ang dapat kong gawin upang magkaroon ako ng buhay na walang hanggan?”
17 At sinabi niya sa kanya, “Bakit mo ako tinatanong tungkol sa mabuti? Iisa ang mabuti. Ngunit kung ibig mong pumasok sa buhay, tuparin mo ang mga utos.”
18 Sinabi(H) niya sa kanya, “Alin sa mga iyon?” At sinabi ni Jesus, “Huwag kang papatay; Huwag kang mangangalunya; Huwag kang magnanakaw; Huwag kang sasaksi para sa kasinungalingan;
19 Igalang(I) mo ang iyong ama at ang iyong ina; at, Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa na gaya ng iyong sarili.”
20 Sinabi sa kanya ng kabataang lalaki, “Sinunod ko na ang lahat ng mga ito;[c] ano pa ang kulang sa akin?”
21 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Kung ibig mong maging ganap, humayo ka, ipagbili mo ang iyong mga ari-arian at ibigay mo sa mga dukha, at magkakaroon ka ng kayamanan sa langit; pagkatapos ay pumarito ka, at sumunod ka sa akin.”
22 Ngunit nang marinig ng binata ang ganitong salita, umalis siyang nalulungkot, sapagkat napakarami niyang ari-arian.
23 At sinabi ni Jesus sa kanyang mga alagad, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, ‘Mahirap para sa isang mayaman ang pumasok sa kaharian ng langit.
24 Muling sinasabi ko sa inyo, mas madali pa sa isang kamelyo ang dumaan sa butas ng isang karayom, kaysa isang mayaman ang pumasok sa kaharian ng Diyos.”
25 Nang marinig ito ng mga alagad, sila'y lubhang nagtaka at nagsabi, “Kung gayon, sino kaya ang maliligtas?”
26 Ngunit tiningnan sila ni Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Sa mga tao, ito ay hindi maaaring mangyari, ngunit sa Diyos, ang lahat ng mga bagay ay maaaring mangyari.”
27 Pagkatapos ay sumagot si Pedro at sinabi sa kanya, “Narito, iniwan namin ang lahat at sumunod sa iyo. Ano naman ang makakamit namin?”
28 Sinabi(J) ni Jesus sa kanila, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na sa pagbabago ng lahat ng mga bagay, kapag uupo na ang Anak ng Tao sa kanyang maluwalhating trono, kayong mga sumunod sa akin ay uupo rin sa labindalawang trono na naghuhukom sa labindalawang lipi ng Israel.
29 At ang sinumang nag-iwan ng mga bahay, o mga kapatid na lalaki, o mga kapatid na babae, o ama, o ina, o mga anak, o mga lupa, alang-alang sa aking pangalan, ay tatanggap ng makasandaang ulit at magmamana ng buhay na walang hanggan.
30 Ngunit(K) maraming mga una na mahuhuli, at mga huli na mauuna.

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)
