Matthew 19:9-30

9And I sayG3004 to you, 1whoeverG3739G302 2divorcesG630 his wifeG1135, exceptG3361 for sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, and marriesG1060 anotherG243 womanG243 3commitsG3429 adulteryG34294.”

10The disciplesG3101 saidG3004 to Him, “IfG1487 the relationshipG156 of the manG444 with his wifeG1135 is likeG3779 thisG3779, it isG4851 betterG4851 not to marryG1060.” 11But He saidG3004 to them, “5Not allG3956 menG3956 can acceptG5562 thisG3778 statementG3056, but 6only those to whomG3739 it has been givenG1325. 12For there are eunuchsG2135 whoG3748 were bornG1080 that wayG3779 from their mother’sG3384 wombG2836; and there are eunuchsG2135 whoG3748 were madeG2134 eunuchsG2134 by peopleG444; and there are also eunuchsG2135 whoG3748 madeG2134 themselvesG1438 eunuchsG2134 for the sakeG1223 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. The one who is ableG1410 to acceptG5562 this, let him acceptG5562 it.”

137ThenG5119 some childrenG3813 were broughtG4374 to Him soG2443 thatG2443 He would layG2007 His handsG5495 onG2007 them and prayG4336; and the disciplesG3101 rebukedG2008 them. 14But JesusG2424 saidG3004, “89LeaveG863 the childrenG3813 aloneG863, and do not 10forbidG2967 them to comeG2064 to Me; for 11the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 belongsG1510 to suchG5108 asG5108 theseG5108.” 15After layingG2007 His handsG5495 onG2007 them, He departedG4198 fromG1564 thereG1564.

1612And someoneG1520 cameG4334 to Him and saidG3004, “TeacherG1320, whatG5101 goodG18 thingG18 shall I doG4160 soG2443 thatG2443 I may obtainG2192 13eternalG166 lifeG2222?” 17And He saidG3004 to him, “WhyG5101 are you askingG2065 Me aboutG4012 whatG18 isG18 goodG18? There is only OneG1520 who is goodG18; but 14ifG1487 you wantG2309 to enterG1525 lifeG2222, keepG5083 the commandmentsG1785.” 18Then he saidG3004 to Him, “WhichG4169 onesG4169?” And JesusG2424 saidG5346, “15You shall not commitG5407 murderG5407; You shall not commitG3431 adulteryG3431; You shall not stealG2813; You shall not giveG5576 falseG5576 testimonyG5576; 1916HonorG5091 your fatherG3962 and motherG3384; and 17You shall loveG25 your neighborG4139 as yourselfG4572.” 20The youngG3495 manG3495 saidG3004 to Him, “AllG3956 theseG3778 I have keptG5442; whatG5101 amG5302 I stillG2089 lackingG5302?” 21JesusG2424 saidG5346 to him, “IfG1487 you wantG2309 to be 18completeG5046, goG5217 and 19sellG4453 your possessionsG5225 and giveG1325 to the poorG4434, and you will haveG2192 20treasureG2344 in heavenG3772; and comeG1204, followG190 Me.” 22But when the youngG3495 manG3495 heardG191 thisG3778 statementG3056, he wentG565 awayG565 grievingG3076; for he was one who ownedG2192 muchG4183 propertyG2933.

23And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to His disciplesG3101, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 21it will be hardG1423 for a richG4145 personG4145 to enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 24And againG3825 I sayG3004 to you, 22it is easierG2123 for a camelG2574 to goG1330 throughG1223 the eyeG5144 of a needleG4476, thanG2228 for a richG4145 personG4145 to enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.” 25When the disciplesG3101 heardG191 this, they were veryG4970 astonishedG1605 and saidG3004, “ThenG686 whoG5101 canG1410 be savedG4982?” 26And lookingG1689 atG1689 them, JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “23With peopleG444 thisG3778 is impossibleG102, but with GodG2316 allG3956 thingsG3956 are possibleG1415.”

27ThenG5119 PeterG4074 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “BeholdG2400, we have leftG863 everythingG3956 and followedG190 You; whatG5101 thenG686 will there be for us?” 28And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, that you who have followedG190 Me, in the 24regenerationG3824 whenG3752 25the SonG5207 of ManG444 will sitG2523 on 26His gloriousG1391 throneG2362, 27you alsoG2532 shall sitG2521 upon twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474. 29And 28everyoneG3956 whoG3748 has leftG863 housesG3614 orG2228 brothersG80 orG2228 sistersG79 orG2228 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384 29orG2228 childrenG5043 orG2228 farmsG68 onG1752 accountG1752 ofG1752 My nameG3686, will receiveG2983 30manyG4179 timesG4179 asG4179 muchG4179, and will inheritG2816 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 3031But manyG4183 who are firstG4413 will be lastG2078; and the lastG2078, firstG4413.
