Matthew 19
19:1 And it came to pass, that when 19:2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 19:3 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? 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at
the beginning made them male and female, 19:5 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? 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore Elohim hath joined
together, let not man put asunder. 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement,
and to put her away? 19:8 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. 19:9 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. 19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not
good to marry. 19:11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it
is given. 19:12 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. 19:13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on
them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 19:14 But 19:15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Rabbi, what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life?
had finished these sayings, he departed
from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me:
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, Elohim : but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
19:18 He saith unto him, Which?
said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not
commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
19:21
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.
19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
19:23 Then said
unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man
shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
19:24 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 Elohim.
19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
19:26 But
beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but
with Elohim all things are possible.
19:27 Then answered Kepha and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
19:28 And
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.
19:29 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.
19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
