Matthew 19

English Standard Version ESV

1 Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2 And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3 And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause? ”

4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female,

5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

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

7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away? ”

8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery. ”

10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry. ”

11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given.

12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it. ”

13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people,

14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven. ”

15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.

16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life? ”

17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments. ”

18 He said to him, “Which ones? ” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,

19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ”

20 The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack? ”

21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. ”

22 When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.

24 Again I tell you, 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 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved? ”

26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. ”

27 Then Peter said in reply, “See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have? ”

28 Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

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

1 When Jesus finished saying these things, he left Galilee and came to the area of Judea on the east side of the Jordan.

2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them.

3 Some Pharisees came to him. In order to test him, they said, "Does the Law allow a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"

4 Jesus answered, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the creator made them male and female?

5 And God said, ‘Because of this a man should leave his father and mother and be joined together with his wife, and the two will be one flesh.'

6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, humans must not pull apart what God has put together."

7 The Pharisees said to him, "Then why did Moses command us to give a divorce certificate and divorce her?"

8 Jesus replied, "Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because your hearts are unyielding. But it wasn't that way from the beginning.

9 I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

10 His disciples said to him, "If that's the way things are between a man and his wife, then it's better not to marry."

11 He replied, "Not everybody can accept this teaching, but only those who have received the ability to accept it.

12 For there are eunuchs who have been eunuchs from birth. And there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by other people. And there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of heaven. Those who can accept it should accept it."

13 Some people brought children to Jesus so that he would place his hands on them and pray. But the disciples scolded them.

14 "Allow the children to come to me," Jesus said. "Don't forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children."

15 Then he blessed the children and went away from there.

16 A man approached him and said, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?"

17 Jesus said, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There's only one who is good. If you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments."

18 The man said, "Which ones?" Then Jesus said, "Don't commit murder. Don't commit adultery. Don't steal. Don't give false testimony.

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

20 The young man replied, "I've kept all these. What am I still missing?"

21 Jesus said, "If you want to be complete, go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come follow me."

22 But when the young man heard this, he went away saddened, because he had many possessions.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I assure you that it will be very hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24 In fact, it's easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God's kingdom."

25 When his disciples heard this, they were stunned. "Then who can be saved?" they asked.

26 Jesus looked at them carefully and said, "It's impossible for human beings. But all things are possible for God."

27 Then Peter replied, "Look, we've left everything and followed you. What will we have?"

28 Jesus said to them, “I assure you who have followed me that, when everything is made new, when the Human One sits on his magnificent throne, you also will sit on twelve thrones overseeing the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And all who have left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or farms because of my name will receive one hundred times more and will inherit eternal life.

30 But many who are first will be last. And many who are last will be first.
