Matthew 19

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 When Yeshua had finished talking about these things, he left the Galil and traveled down the east side of the Yarden River until he passed the border of Y'hudah.

2 Great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3 Some P'rushim came and tried to trap him by asking, "Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife on any ground whatever?"

4 He replied, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female,

5 and that he said, `For this reason a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two are to become one flesh'?

6 Thus they are no longer two, but one. So then, no one should split apart what God has joined together."

7 They said to him, "Then why did Moshe give the commandment that a man should hand his wife a get and divorce her?"

8 He answered, "Moshe allowed you to divorce your wives because your hearts are so hardened. But this is not how it was at the beginning.

9 Now what I say to you is that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery!"

10 The talmidim said to him, "If that is how things are between husband and wife, it would be better not to marry!"

11 He said to them, "Not everyone grasps this teaching, only those for whom it is meant.

12 For there are different reasons why men do not marry -- some because they were born without the desire, some because they have been castrated, and some because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever can grasp this, let him do so."

13 Then children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray for them, but the talmidim rebuked the people bringing them.

14 However, Yeshua said, "Let the children come to me, don't stop them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these."

15 Then, after laying his hands on them, he went on his way.

16 A man approached Yeshua and said, "Rabbi, what good thing should I do in order to have eternal life?" He said to him,

17 "Why are you asking me about good? There is One who is good! But if you want to obtain eternal life, observe the mitzvot."

18 The man asked him, "Which ones?" and Yeshua said, "Don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't give false testimony

19 honor father and mother and love your neighbor as yourself."

20 The young man said to him, "I have kept all these; where do I still fall short?"

21 Yeshua said to him, "If you are serious about reaching the goal, go and sell your possessions, give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me!"

22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was wealthy.

23 Then Yeshua said to his talmidim, "Yes. I tell you that it will be very hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

24 Furthermore, I tell you that it is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."

25 When the talmidim heard this they were utterly amazed. "Then who," they asked, "can be saved?"

26 Yeshua looked at them and said, "Humanly, this is impossible; but with God everything is possible."

27 Kefa replied, "Look, we have left everything and followed you. So what will we have?"

28 Yeshua said to them, "Yes. I tell you that in the regenerated world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Isra'el.

29 Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times more, and he will obtain eternal life.

30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.

2 And a great number went after him; and he made them well there.

3 And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,

5 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?

6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.

7 They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?

8 He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.

9 And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.

10 The disciples say to him, If this is the position of a man in relation to his wife, it is better not to be married.

11 But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.

12 For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.

13 Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

14 But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he put his hands on them, and went away.

16 And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?

17 And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.

18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,

19 Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

20 The young man says to him, All these things have I done: what more is there?

21 Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

22 But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.

23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

25 And the disciples, hearing this, were greatly surprised, saying, Who then may have salvation?

26 And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.

27 Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have?

28 And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.

30 But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first.
