Matthew 19

The Darby Translation DBY

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;

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

3 And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,

5 and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?

6 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

7 They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?

8 He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.

9 But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.

10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

11 And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;

12 for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

13 Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:

15 and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.

16 And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal?

17 And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.

18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19 Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20 The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?

21 Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

22 But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.

23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;

24 and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.

25 And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

27 Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, *we* have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?

28 And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That *ye* who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, *ye* also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal.

30 But many first shall be last, and last first.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 When Jesus finished speaking, he left Galilee and traveled along the other side of the Jordan River to the territory of Judea.

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

3 Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, "Can a man divorce his wife for any reason?"

4 Jesus answered, "Haven't you read that the Creator made them male and female in the beginning

5 and that he said, 'That's why a man will leave his father and mother and will remain united with his wife, and the two will be one'?

6 So they are no longer two but one. Therefore, don't let anyone separate what God has joined together."

7 The Pharisees asked him, "Why, then, did Moses order a man to give his wife a written notice to divorce her?"

8 Jesus answered them, "Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you're heartless. It was never this way in the beginning.

9 I can guarantee that whoever divorces his wife for any reason other than her unfaithfulness is committing adultery if he marries another woman."

10 The disciples said to him, "If that is the only reason a man can use to divorce his wife, it's better not to get married."

11 He answered them, "Not everyone can do what you suggest. Only those who have that gift can.

12 For example, some men are celibate because they were born that way. Others are celibate because they were castrated. Still others have decided to be celibate because of the kingdom of heaven. If anyone can do what you've suggested, then he should do it."

13 Then some people brought little children to Jesus to have him bless them and pray for them. But the disciples told the people not to do that.

14 Jesus said, "Don't stop children from coming to me! Children like these are part of the kingdom of God."

15 After Jesus blessed them, he went away from there.

16 Then a man came to Jesus and said, "Teacher, what good deed should I do to gain eternal life?"

17 Jesus said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to enter into life, obey the commandments."

18 "Which commandments?" the man asked. Jesus said, "Never murder. Never commit adultery. Never steal. Never give false testimony.

19 Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as you love yourself."

20 The young man replied, "I have obeyed all these commandments. What else do I need to do?"

21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, sell what you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!"

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad because he owned a lot of property.

23 Jesus said to his disciples, "I can guarantee this truth: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24 I can guarantee again that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."

25 He amazed his disciples more than ever when they heard this. "Then who can be saved?" they asked.

26 Jesus looked at them and said, "It is impossible for people [to save themselves], but everything is possible for God."

27 Then Peter replied to him, "Look, we've given up everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?"

28 Jesus said to them, "I can guarantee this truth: When the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the world to come, you, my followers, will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And everyone who gave up homes, brothers or sisters, father, mother, children, or fields because of my name will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life.

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