WEB·Matthew 19
1When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
KJVAndG2532 it came to passG1096(G5633), that whenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055(G5656) theseG5128 sayingsG3056, he departedG3332(G5656) fromG575 GalileeG1056, andG2532 cameG2064(G5627) intoG1519 the coastsG3725 of JudaeaG2449 beyondG4008 JordanG2446;
2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
KJVAndG2532 greatG4183 multitudesG3793 followedG190(G5656) himG846; andG2532 he healedG2323(G5656) themG846 thereG1563.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
KJVThe PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532 cameG4334(G5656) unto himG846, temptingG3985(G5723) himG846, andG2532 sayingG3004(G5723) unto himG846, Is it lawfulG1487G1832(G5748) for a manG444 to put awayG630(G5658) hisG846 wifeG1135 forG2596 everyG3956 causeG156?
4 He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
KJVAndG1161 he answeredG611(G5679) and saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, Have yeG314 notG3756 readG314(G5627), thatG3754 he whichG3588 madeG4160(G5660) them atG575 the beginningG746 madeG4160(G5656) themG846 maleG730 andG2532 femaleG2338,
5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
KJVAndG2532 saidG2036(G5627), For thisG5127 causeG1752 shall a manG444 leaveG2641(G5692) fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384, andG2532 shall cleaveG4347(G5701) to hisG846 wifeG1135: andG2532 they twainG1417 shall beG2071(G5704)G1519 oneG3391 fleshG4561?
6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
KJVWhereforeG5620 they areG1526(G5748) no moreG3765 twainG1417, butG235 oneG3391 fleshG4561. WhatG3739 thereforeG3767 GodG2316 hath joined togetherG4801(G5656), letG5563 notG3361 manG444 put asunderG5563(G5720).
7 They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
KJVThey sayG3004(G5719) unto himG846, WhyG5101 did MosesG3475 thenG3767 commandG1781(G5662) to giveG1325(G5629) a writingG975 of divorcementG647, andG2532 to putG630 herG846 awayG630(G5658)?
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
KJVHe saithG3004(G5719) unto themG846,G3754 MosesG3475 because ofG4314 the hardnessG4641 of yourG5216 heartsG4641 sufferedG2010(G5656) youG5213 to put awayG630(G5658) yourG5216 wivesG1135: butG1161 fromG575 the beginningG746 it wasG1096(G5754) notG3756 soG3779.
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.”
KJVAndG1161 I sayG3004(G5719) unto youG5213,G3754 WhosoeverG3739G302 shall put awayG630(G5661) hisG846 wifeG1135, exceptG1508 it be forG1909 fornicationG4202, andG2532 shall marryG1060(G5661) anotherG243, committeth adulteryG3429(G5736): andG2532 whoso marriethG1060(G5660) her whichG3588 is put awayG630(G5772) doth commit adulteryG3429(G5736).
10 His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
KJVHisG846 disciplesG3101 sayG3004(G5719) unto himG846, IfG1487 the caseG156 of the manG444 beG2076(G5748) soG3779 withG3326 his wifeG1135, it isG4851 notG3756 goodG4851(G5719) to marryG1060(G5658).
11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
KJVButG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, AllG3956 men cannotG3756 receiveG5562(G5719) thisG5126 sayingG3056, saveG235 they to whomG3739 it is givenG1325(G5769).
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.”
KJVForG1063 there areG1526(G5748) some eunuchsG2135, whichG3748 were soG3779 bornG1080(G5681) fromG1537 their mother'sG3384 wombG2836: andG2532 there areG1526(G5748) some eunuchsG2135, whichG3748 were made eunuchsG2134(G5656) ofG5259 menG444: andG2532 there beG1526(G5748) eunuchsG2135, whichG3748 have madeG2134 themselvesG1438 eunuchsG2134(G5656) forG1223 the kingdomG932 of heaven's sakeG3772. He that is ableG1410(G5740) to receiveG5562(G5721) it, let him receiveG5562(G5720) it.
13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
KJVThenG5119 were there broughtG4374(G5681) unto himG846 little childrenG3813, thatG2443 he should putG2007 his handsG5495 onG2007(G5632) themG846, andG2532 prayG4336(G5667): andG1161 the disciplesG3101 rebukedG2008(G5656) themG846.
14 But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
KJVButG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036(G5627), SufferG863(G5628) little childrenG3813, andG2532 forbidG2967(G5720) themG846 notG3361, to comeG2064(G5629) untoG4314 meG3165: forG1063 of suchG5108 isG2076(G5748) the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
KJVAndG2532 he laidG2007 his handsG5495 onG2007(G5631) themG846, and departedG4198(G5675) thenceG1564.
16 Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
KJVAndG2532, beholdG2400(G5628), oneG1520 cameG4334(G5631) and saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, GoodG18 MasterG1320, whatG5101 good thingG18 shall I doG4160(G5661), thatG2443 I may haveG2192(G5725) eternalG166 lifeG2222?
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 commandments.”
KJVAndG1161 he saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, WhyG5101 callest thouG3004(G5719) meG3165 goodG18? there is noneG3762 goodG18 butG1508 oneG1520, that is, GodG2316: butG1161 ifG1487 thou wiltG2309(G5719) enterG1525(G5629) intoG1519 lifeG2222, keepG5083(G5657) the commandmentsG1785.
18 He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
KJVHe saithG3004(G5719) unto himG846, WhichG4169?G1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036(G5627), Thou shalt doG5407 noG3756 murderG5407(G5692), Thou shaltG3431 notG3756 commit adulteryG3431(G5692), Thou shaltG2813 notG3756 stealG2813(G5692), Thou shaltG5576 notG3756 bear false witnessG5576(G5692),
19 ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
KJVHonourG5091(G5720) thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 thy motherG3384: andG2532, Thou shalt loveG25(G5692) thyG4675 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG4572.
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
KJVThe young manG3495 saithG3004(G5719) unto himG846, AllG3956 these thingsG5023 have I keptG5442(G5668) fromG1537 myG3450 youth upG3503: whatG5101 lackG5302(G5719) I yetG2089?
21 Jesus 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.”
KJVJesusG2424 saidG5346(G5713) unto himG846, IfG1487 thou wiltG2309(G5719) beG1511(G5750) perfectG5046, goG5217(G5720) and sellG4453(G5657) that thouG4675 hastG5224(G5723), andG2532 giveG1325(G5628) to the poorG4434, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192(G5692) treasureG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 comeG1204(G5773) and followG190(G5720) meG3427.
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
KJVButG1161 when the young manG3495 heardG191(G5660) that sayingG3056, he went awayG565(G5627) sorrowfulG3076(G5746): forG1063 he hadG2192(G5723)G2258(G5713) greatG4183 possessionsG2933.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
KJVThenG1161 saidG2036(G5627) JesusG2424 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, VerilyG281 I sayG3004(G5719) unto youG5213, ThatG3754 a rich manG4145 shall hardlyG1423 enterG1525(G5695) intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
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 God’s Kingdom.”
KJVAndG1161 againG3825 I sayG3004(G5719) unto youG5213, It isG2076(G5748) easierG2123 for a camelG2574 to goG1330(G5629) throughG1223 the eyeG5169 of a needleG4476, thanG2228 for a rich manG4145 to enterG1525(G5629) intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
KJVWhenG1161 hisG846 disciplesG3101 heardG191(G5660) it, they were exceedinglyG4970 amazedG1605(G5712), sayingG3004(G5723), WhoG5101 thenG686 canG1410(G5736) be savedG4982(G5683)?
26 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
KJVButG1161 JesusG2424 beheldG1689(G5660) them, and saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, WithG3844 menG444 thisG5124 isG2076(G5748) impossibleG102; butG1161 withG3844 GodG2316 all thingsG3956 areG2076(G5748) possibleG1415.
27 Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
KJVThenG5119 answeredG611(G5679) PeterG4074 and saidG2036(G5627) unto himG846, BeholdG2400(G5628), weG2249 have forsakenG863(G5656) allG3956, andG2532 followedG190(G5656) theeG4671; whatG5101 shall weG2254 haveG2071(G5704) thereforeG686?
28 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly 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 Israel.
KJVAndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004(G5719) unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 whichG3588 have followedG190(G5660) meG3427, inG1722 the regenerationG3824 whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall sitG2523(G5661) inG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall sitG2523(G5695) uponG1909 twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919(G5723) the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
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.
KJVAndG2532 everyG3956 oneG3739 that hath forsakenG863(G5656) housesG3614, orG2228 brethrenG80, orG2228 sistersG79, orG2228 fatherG3962, orG2228 motherG3384, orG2228 wifeG1135, orG2228 childrenG5043, orG2228 landsG68, for myG3450 name'sG3686 sakeG1752, shall receiveG2983(G5695) an hundredfoldG1542, andG2532 shall inheritG2816(G5692) everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
KJVButG1161 manyG4183 that are firstG4413 shall beG2071(G5704) lastG2078; andG2532 the lastG2078 shall be firstG4413.
