1  Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, that He with from Galilee and went to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

1  WHEN Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came to the border of Judaea, at the crossing of the Jordan.

2  And great crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

2  And a great many people followed him, and he healed them there.

3  The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"

3  And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful [for a man] to put away his wife for every cause?

3  And the Pharisees approached him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to separate from his wife, no matter what the cause?”

4  And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'

4  And he said to them in response, “Have you not read that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female?” And he said

4  But he answered and said to them, Have you not read, that he who made from the beginning, made them male and female?

5  and He said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?

5  “For this reason, a man shall separate from father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife, and these two shall become one flesh.

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  So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."

6  Henceforth they are not two, but one body; therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.

7  They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"

8  He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been thus.

8  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.

9  And I say to you, that whoever shall put away his wife, except [it be ]for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marrying a divorcee commits adultery."

10  His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry."

11  But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but [it is for those] to whom it has been given

11  And he said to them: “Not everyone is able to grasp this word, but only those to whom it has been given.

11  He said to them, This saying does not apply to every man, but to whom it is needed.

12  For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept [this], let him accept [it]."

12  For there are chaste persons who were born so from their mother’s womb, and there are chaste persons who have been made so by men, and there are chaste persons who have made themselves chaste for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Whoever is able to grasp this, let him grasp it.”

13  Then little children were brought to Him, that He might put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

13  Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

13  Then they brought little boys to him, that he may lay his hand on them and pray; and his disciples rebuked them.

14  But Jesus said, "Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

14  Yet truly, Jesus said to them: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not choose to prohibit them. For the kingdom of heaven is among such as these.”

14  But Jesus said to them, Allow the little boys to come to me, and do not stop them; for the kingdom of heaven is for such as these.

15  And having put His hands on them, He departed from there.

15  And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

15  And when he had imposed his hands upon them, he went away from there.

16  And behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good [thing] shall I do that I may have eternal life?"

16  Then a man came up and said to him, O good Teacher, what is the best that I should do to have life eternal?

17  So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One, [that is], God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

17  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.

18  He said to Him, "Which [ones]?"Jesus said, "'You shall not murder,' 'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You shall not steal,' 'You shall not bear false witness,'

18  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,

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

19  Honor thy father and mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

19  Honor your father and your mother; and, Love your neighbor as yourself.

20  The young man said to Him, "All these have I kept from my youth. What do I still lack?"

21  Jesus said to him, "If you desire to be perfect, go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

21  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.

22  But when the young man heard the word, he went away grieved, for he had many possessions.

22  And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

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

23  Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly I say to you, that with difficulty a rich [man] shall enter the kingdom of heaven.

23  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.

24  And again I say to 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."

24  Again I say to you, It is easier for a rope to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25  And when His disciples heard, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then is able to be saved?"

25  And upon hearing this, the disciples wondered greatly, saying: “Then who will be able to be saved?”

25  When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?

26  And looking on [them], Jesus said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

26  But Jesus, gazing at them, said to them: “With men, this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible.”

26  Jesus looked at them and said, For men this is impossible, but for God everything is possible.

27  Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You. What then shall we have?"

27  Then Peter responded by saying to him: “Behold, we have left behind all things, and we have followed you. So then, what will be for us?”

28  So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the Regeneration, 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.

28  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.

29  And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.

29  And anyone who has left behind home, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for the sake of my name, shall receive one hundred times more, and shall possess eternal life.

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

30  But many shall be last [that are] first; and first [that are] last.

30  But many of those who are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”
