1. When Jesus had finished talking, He went from the country of Galilee. He came to the part of the country of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan River.
|
1. And G2532 it came to pass G1096 , that when G3753 Jesus G2424 had finished G5055 these G5128 sayings G3056 , he departed G3332 from G575 Galilee G1056 , and G2532 came G2064 into G1519 the G3588 coasts G3725 of Judea G2449 beyond G4008 Jordan G2446 ;
|
|
2. Many people followed Him and He healed them there.
|
2. And G2532 great G4183 multitudes G3793 followed G190 him G846 ; and G2532 he healed G2323 them G846 there G1563 .
|
|
3. The proud religious law-keepers came to Jesus. They tried to trap Him by saying, "Does the Law say a man can divorce his wife for any reason?"
|
3. The G3588 Pharisees G5330 also G2532 came G4334 unto him G846 , tempting G3985 him G846 , and G2532 saying G3004 unto him G846 G1487 , Is it lawful G1832 for a man G444 to put away G630 his G848 wife G1135 for G2596 every G3956 cause G156 ?
|
|
4. He said to them, "Have you not read that He Who made them in the first place made them man and woman?
|
4. And G1161 he G3588 answered G611 and said G2036 unto them G846 , Have ye not G3756 read G314 , that G3754 he which made G4160 them at G575 the beginning G746 made G4160 them G846 male G730 and G2532 female G2338 ,
|
|
5. It says, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will live with his wife. The two will become one.'
|
5. And G2532 said G2036 , For this cause G1752 G5127 shall a man G444 leave G2641 father G3962 and G2532 mother G3384 , and G2532 shall cleave G4347 to his G848 wife G1135 : and G2532 they twain G1417 shall be G2071 one G3391 G1519 flesh G4561
|
|
6. So they are no longer two but one. Let no man divide what God has put together."
|
6. Wherefore G5620 they are G1526 no more G3765 twain G1417 , but G235 one G3391 flesh G4561 . What G3739 therefore G3767 God G2316 hath joined together G4801 , let not G3361 man G444 put asunder G5563 .
|
|
7. The proud religious law-keepers said to Jesus, "Then why did the Law of Moses allow a man to divorce his wife if he put it down in writing and gave it to her?"
|
7. They say G3004 unto him G846 , Why G5101 did Moses G3475 then G3767 command G1781 to give G1325 a writing G975 of divorcement G647 , and G2532 to put her away G630 G846
|
|
8. Jesus said to them, "Because of your hard hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. It was not like that from the beginning.
|
8. He saith G3004 unto them G846 , Moses G3475 because G4314 of the G3588 hardness of your hearts G4641 G5216 suffered G2010 you G5213 to put away G630 your G5216 wives G1135 : but G1161 from G575 the beginning G746 it was G1096 not G3756 so G3779 .
|
|
9. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sex sins, and marries another, is guilty of sex sins in marriage. Whoever marries her that is divorced is guilty of sex sins in marriage."
|
9. And G1161 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Whosoever G3739 G302 shall put away G630 his G848 wife G1135 , except G1508 it be for G1909 fornication G4202 , and G2532 shall marry G1060 another G243 , committeth adultery G3429 : and G2532 whoso marrieth G1060 her which is put away G630 doth commit adultery G3429 .
|
|
10. His followers said to Him, "If that is the way of a man with his wife, it is better not to be married."
|
10. His G846 disciples G3101 say G3004 unto him G846 , If G1487 the G3588 case G156 of the G3588 man G444 be G2076 so G3779 with G3326 his wife G1135 , it is not good G4851 G3756 to marry G1060 .
|
|
11. But Jesus said to them, "Not all men are able to do this, but only those to whom it has been given.
|
11. But G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto them G846 , All G3956 men cannot receive G5562 G3756 this G5126 saying G3056 , save G235 they to whom G3739 it is given G1325 .
|
|
12. For there are some men who from birth will never be able to have children. There are some men who have been made so by men. There are some men who have had themselves made that way because of the holy nation of heaven. The one who is able to do this, let him do it."
|
12. For G1063 there are G1526 some eunuchs G2135 , which G3748 were so G3779 born G1080 from G1537 their mother G3384 's womb G2836 : and G2532 there are G1526 some eunuchs G2135 , which G3748 were made eunuchs G2134 of G5259 men G444 : and G2532 there be G1526 eunuchs G2135 , which G3748 have made themselves eunuchs G2134 G1438 for the kingdom of heaven's sake G1223 G3588 G932 G3772 . He that is able G1410 to receive G5562 it, let him receive G5562 it.
|
|
13. Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray for them. The followers spoke sharp words to them.
|
13. Then G5119 were there brought G4336 unto him G846 little children G3813 , that G2443 he should put G2007 his hands G5495 on them G846 , and G2532 pray G4374 : and G1161 the G3588 disciples G3101 rebuked G2008 them G846 .
|
|
14. But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me. Do not stop them. The holy nation of heaven is made up of ones like these."
|
14. But G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 , Suffer G863 little children G3813 , and G2532 forbid G2967 them G846 not G3361 , to come G2064 unto G4314 me G3165 : for G1063 of such G5108 is G2076 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 .
|
|
15. He put His hands on them and went away.
|
15. And G2532 he laid G2007 his hands G5495 on them G846 , and departed G4198 thence G1564 .
|
|
16. A man came to Jesus and asked, "Good Teacher, what good work must I do to have life that lasts forever?"
|
16. And G2532 , behold G2400 , one G1520 came G4334 and said G2036 unto him G846 , Good G18 Master G1320 , what G5101 good thing G18 shall I do G4160 , that G2443 I may have G2192 eternal G166 life G2222 ?
|
|
17. Jesus said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One Who is good. If you want to have life that lasts forever, you must obey the Laws."
|
17. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto him G846 , Why G5101 callest G3004 thou me G3165 good G18 ? there is none G3762 good G18 but G1508 one G1520 , that is, God G2316 : but G1161 if G1487 thou wilt G2309 enter G1525 into G1519 life G2222 , keep G5083 the G3588 commandments G1785 .
|
|
18. The man said to Him, "What kind of laws?" Jesus said, "You must not kill another person. You must not be guilty of sex sins. You must not steal. You must not lie.
|
18. He saith G3004 unto him G846 , Which G4169 ? Jesus G2424 said G2036 , Thou shalt G3588 do no murder G5407 G3756 , Thou shalt not G3756 commit adultery G3431 , Thou shalt not G3756 steal G2813 , Thou shalt not bear false witness G5576 ,
|
|
19. Show respect to your father and your mother. And love your neighbor as you love yourself."
|
19. Honor G5091 thy G4675 father G3962 and G2532 thy mother: and G3384 , Thou shalt love G25 thy G4675 neighbor G4139 as G5613 thyself G4572 .
|
|
20. The young man said to Jesus, "I have obeyed all these Laws. What more should I do?"
|
20. The G3588 young man G3495 saith G3004 unto him G846 , All G3956 these things G5023 have I kept G5442 from G1537 my G3450 youth G3503 up: what G5101 lack G5302 I yet G2089 ?
|
|
21. Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell everything you have and give the money to poor people. Then you will have riches in heaven. Come and follow Me."
|
21. Jesus G2424 said G5346 unto him G846 , If G1487 thou wilt G2309 be G1511 perfect G5046 , go G5217 and sell G4453 that thou hast G5224 G4675 , and G2532 give G1325 to the poor G4434 , and G2532 thou shalt have G2192 treasure G2344 in G1722 heaven G3772 : and G2532 come G1204 and follow G190 me G3427 .
|
|
22. When the young man heard these words, he went away sad for he had many riches.
|
22. But G1161 when the G3588 young man G3495 heard G191 that saying G3056 , he went away G565 sorrowful G3076 : for G1063 he had G2258 G2192 great G4183 possessions G2933 .
|
|
23. Jesus said to His followers, "For sure, I tell you, it will be hard for a rich man to get into the holy nation of heaven.
|
23. Then G1161 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto his G848 disciples G3101 , Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , That G3754 a rich man G4145 shall hardly G1423 enter G1525 into G1519 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 .
|
|
24. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the holy nation of heaven."
|
24. And G1161 again G3825 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , It is G2076 easier G2123 for a camel G2574 to go G1330 through G1223 the eye G5169 of a needle G4476 , than G2228 for a rich man G4145 to enter G1525 into G1519 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 .
|
|
25. When His followers heard this, they could not understand it. They said, "Then who can be saved from the punishment of sin?"
|
25. When G1161 his G846 disciples G3101 heard G191 it, they were exceedingly G4970 amazed G1605 , saying G3004 , Who G5101 then G686 can G1410 be saved G4982 ?
|
|
26. Jesus looked at them and said, "This cannot be done by men. But with God all things can be done."
|
26. But G1161 Jesus G2424 beheld G1689 them, and said G2036 unto them G846 , With G3844 men G444 this G5124 is G2076 impossible G102 ; but G1161 with G3844 God G2316 all things G3956 are G2076 possible G1415 .
|
|
27. Then Peter said to Him, "We have given up everything and have followed You. Then what will we have?"
|
27. Then G5119 answered G611 Peter G4074 and said G2036 unto him G846 , Behold G2400 , we G2249 have forsaken G863 all G3956 , and G2532 followed G190 thee G4671 ; what G5101 shall we G2254 have G2071 therefore G686 ?
|
|
28. Jesus said to them, "For sure, I tell you, when all the earth will be new and the Son of Man will sit on His throne in His shining-greatness, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, and judge the twelve family groups of the Jewish nation.
|
28. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them G846 , Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , That G3754 ye G5210 which have followed G190 me G3427 , in G1722 the G3588 regeneration G3824 when G3752 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 shall sit G2523 in G1909 the throne G2362 of his G848 glory G1391 , ye G5210 also G2532 shall sit G2523 upon G1909 twelve G1427 thrones G2362 , judging G2919 the G3588 twelve G1427 tribes G5443 of Israel G2474 .
|
|
29. Everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands because of Me, will get a hundred times more. And you will get life that lasts forever.
|
29. And G2532 every one G3956 that G3739 hath forsaken G863 houses G3614 , or G2228 brethren G80 , or G2228 sisters G79 , or G2228 father G3962 , or G2228 mother G3384 , or G2228 wife G1135 , or G2228 children G5043 , or G2228 lands G68 , for my name's sake G1752 G3450 G3686 , shall receive G2983 a hundredfold G1542 , and G2532 shall inherit G2816 everlasting G166 life G2222 .
|
|
30. Many who are first will be last. Many who are last will be first.
|
30. But G1161 many G4183 that are first G4413 shall be G2071 last G2078 ; and G2532 the last G2078 shall be first G4413 .
