Matthew 19

| 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. | And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan; |
| And a great number went after him; and he made them well there. | and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. |
| And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause? | And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful [for a man] to put away his wife for every cause? |
| 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, | And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made [them] from the beginning made them male and female, |
| 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? | and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? |
| So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man. | So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. |
| 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? | They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away? |
| 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. | He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so. |
| 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. | And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery. |
| 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. | The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry. |
| But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given. | But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given. |
| 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. | For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. |
| 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. | Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. |
| But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. | But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven. |
| And he put his hands on them, and went away. | And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. |
| And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life? | And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? |
| 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. | And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. |
| 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, | He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, |
| Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. | Honor thy father and mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. |
| The young man says to him, All these things have I done: what more is there? | The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet? |
| 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. | Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. |
| But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property. | But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions. |
| 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. | And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. |
| 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. | And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. |
| And the disciples, hearing this, were greatly surprised, saying, Who then may have salvation? | And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved? |
| And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible. | And Jesus looking upon [them] said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. |
| Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have? | Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have? |
| 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. | And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. |
| 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. | And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. |
| But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first. | But many shall be last [that are] first; and first [that are] last. |
