Matthew 19 Kata Mathaion 19
1Kai geneta hote telata tos Iēsus toin logoin houtoin, metairata apo tau Galilaiau kai erchata eis teim horeim tau Ioudaiau peran tou Iordanou.When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2kai akolouthala auto ochlois pollois, kai therapeuata autoin ekei.Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3Kai proserchala ⸀auto Farisaiois peirazarōntois auton kai ⸀legarōntois; Ei exestinatō ⸀anthrōpo apoluara tan gunaikan autou kata pantan aitian?Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?” 4tos de apokrinirantos ⸀legata; Ouk anagnōskava hoti tos ⸀ktizarantos apo archau arsenem kai thēluem poiata autoinJesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ 5kai legata; ⸀Heneka houteu kataleipati anthrōpos ton patron kai tan mētēran kai ⸀kolliti ta gunaika autou, kai eli tois duo eis sarkan henan?and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? 6hōste ouketi alō duo alla sarkas henas. hem oun tos theos suzeugata anthrōpos mē chōrizatōr.So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” 7legalō auto; Tinem oun Mōusos enteleta dōara bibliem apostasieu kai apoluara ⸀autan?“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8legatō autoi hoti Mōusos pros tan sklērokardian vu epitrepata vi apoluara tain gunaikain vu, apo archau de ouk genatē houtōs.Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9legamō de vi ⸀hoti hos an apoluateia tan gunaikan autou mē epi porneia kai gamateia allosan moichotō ⸂kai tos apoluorēntan gamarantos moichotō.⸃Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10Legalō auto tois ⸀mathētois; Ei houtōs atō tas aitias tou anthrōpou meta tau gunaikau, ouk sumferatō gamara.His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.” 11tos de legata autoi; Ouk pantois chōralō ton logon ⸀houton alla hoi dōotē.“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given. 12alō gar eunouchois hotinois ek koiliau mētērau gennila houtōs, kai alō eunouchois hotinois eunouchizila hupo toiu anthrōpoiu, kai alō eunouchois hotinois eunouchizala heautoin dia tan basileian toiu ouranoiu. tos dunorōntos chōrarō chōratōr.For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
13Tote ⸀prosferila auto paidieim hina tain cheirain epitithateia autei kai proseucheteia; tois de mathētois epitimala autei.Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14tos de Iēsus legata; Afiēkavar teim paidieim kai mē kōluavōr auteim erchara pros min, teiu gar toiouteiu atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu.But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15kai epititharantos ⸂tain cheirain autei⸃ poreuita ekeithen.And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
16Kai idou henos prosercharantos ⸂auto legata;⸃ ⸀Didaskalor, tinem agathem poiameia hina ⸀echameia zōan aiōnian?Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?” 17tos de legata auto; Tinem min ⸂erōtasō peri teu agatheu? henos atō tos agathos;⸃ ei de thelasō ⸂eis tan zōan eiserchara,⸃ ⸀tērasar tain entolain.“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” 18legatō auto; Poiain? tos de Iēsus ⸀legata; Tem Ouk foneuasi, Ouk moicheuasi, Ouk kleptasi, Ouk pseudomarturasi,“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, 19Timasōr ton patron kai tan mētēran, kai Agapasi ton plēsion su hōs siauton.honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’” 20legatō auto tos neaniskos; ⸂Panteim houteim⸃ ⸀fulassama; tinem ēti husteramō?“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?” 21fēate auto tos Iēsus; Ei thelasō teleios arō, hupagasōr pōlasar su teim huparcharōnteim kai ⸀dōasar ptōchoi, kai echasi thēsauron en ⸀ouranoi, kai deuro akolouthasōr mi.Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.” 22akouarantos de tos neaniskos ton ⸀logon aperchata luporōntos, ate gar echarōntos ktēmeim polleim.When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
23Tos de Iēsus legata toi mathētoi autou; Amēn legamō vi hoti ⸂plousios duskolōs⸃ eisercheti eis tan basileian toiu ouranoiu;Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24palin de legamō vi, eukopoterem atō kamēlan dia ⸀trupēmeu rafisau ⸀eiserchara ē plousion ⸂eis tan basileian tou theou.⸃Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 25akouarantois de tois ⸀mathētois ekplēssole sfodra legarōntois; Tinos ara dunotō sōzira?When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” 26embleparantos de tos Iēsus legata autoi; Para anthrōpoi houtem adunatem atō, para de theo panteim dunateim.Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27Tote apokrinirantos tos Petros legata auto; Idou nis afiēkana panteim kai akolouthana si; tinem ara eti ni?“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?” 28tos de Iēsus legata autoi; Amēn legamō vi hoti vis tois akoloutharantois mi en ta palingenesia, hotan kathizateia tos huios tou anthrōpou epi thronou doxau autou, ⸀kathevi kai ⸀vis epi dōdeka thronoin krinarōntois tain dōdeka fulain tou Israēl.Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29kai pantos ⸀hotinos afiēkata ⸂oikiain ē⸃ adelfoin ē adelfain ē patron ē mētēran ē ⸂gunaikan ē⸃ tekneim ē ⸀agroin heneken teu ⸂onomeu mu,⸃ ⸀hekatontaplasiōneim labeti kai zōan aiōnian klēronomati.And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. 30pollois de eli prōtois eschatois kai eschatois prōtois.But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.[’’]
