Matthew
19 and Response To
Comments
1
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished
these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came
into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
2
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed
them there.
3 The Pharisees also came unto
him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it
lawful for a man to put away his wife for every
cause?
4 And he answered and said unto
them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at
the beginning made them male and female,
5
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father
and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they
twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they
are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore
God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses
then command to give a writing of divorcement, and
to put her away?
8 He saith unto them,
Moses because of the hardness of your hearts
suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto
you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it
be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which
is put away doth commit adultery.
10 His
disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be
so with his wife, it is not good to
marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men
cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it
is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs,
which were so born from their mother's womb: and
there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of
men: and there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's
sake. He that is able to receive it, let him
receive it.
13 Then were there brought unto
him little children, that he should put his hands
on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked
them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little
children, and forbid them not, to come unto me:
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15
And he laid his hands on them, and departed
thence.
16 And, behold, one came and said
unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life?
17 And he
said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is
none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt
enter into life, keep the commandments.
18
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt
do no murder, 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 saith unto him,
All these things have I kept from my youth up:
what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If
thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast,
and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But
when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say
unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say
unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of God.
25 When his
disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus
beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are
possible.
27 Then answered Peter and said
unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and
followed thee; what shall we have
therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them,
Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed
me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall
sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit
upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of
Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken
houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my
name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and
shall inherit everlasting life.
30 But many
that are first shall be last; and the last shall
be
first.
