The Good News According to Mattityahu, Chapter 19
{19:1} It happened when Yeshua had finished these words, he departed
from the Galil, and came into the borders of Yehudah beyond the
Yarden. {19:2} Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them
there. {19:3} Perushim came to him, testing him, and saying, "Is it
lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?"
{19:4} He answered, "Haven't you read that he who made them from the
beginning made them male and female, {19:5} and said, 'For this cause
a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife;
and the two shall become one flesh?' {19:6} So that they are no more
two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let
man tear apart."
{19:7} They asked him, "Why then did Moshe command us to give her a
bill of divorce, and divorce her?"
{19:8} He said to them, "Moshe, because of the hardness of your
hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it
has not been so. {19:9} I tell you that whoever divorces his wife,
except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery;
and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery."
{19:10} His [1>]talmidim[<1] said to him, "If this is the case of
the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."
{19:11} But he said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying,
but those to whom it is given. {19:12} For there are eunuchs who were
born that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were
made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs
for the Kingdom of Heaven's sake. He who is able to receive it, let
him receive it."
{19:13} Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay
his hands on them and pray; and the [2>]talmidim[<2] rebuked them.
{19:14} But Yeshua said, "Allow the little children, and don't forbid
them to come to me; for to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven."
{19:15} He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
{19:16} Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good
thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"
{19:17} He said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but
one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the
[3>]mitzvot[<3]."
{19:18} He said to him, "Which ones?"
Yeshua said, "'You shall not murder.' 'You shall not commit
adultery.' 'You shall not steal.' 'You shall not offer false
testimony.' {19:19} 'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.'"
{19:20} The young man said to him, "All these things I have observed
from my youth. What do I still lack?"
{19:21} Yeshua said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell
what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven; and come, follow me." {19:22} But when the young man heard the
saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
{19:23} Yeshua said to his [4>]talmidim[<4], "Most assuredly I say to
you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
{19:24} Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a
needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."
{19:25} When the [5>]talmidim[<5] heard it, they were exceedingly
astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
{19:26} Looking at them, Yeshua said, "With men this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible."
{19:27} Then Rock answered, "Behold, we have left everything, and
followed you. What then will we have?"
{19:28} Yeshua said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you that you who
have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on
the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging
the twelve tribes of Yisra'el. {19:29} Everyone who has left houses,
or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will
inherit eternal life. {19:30} But many will be last who are first; and
first who are last.
