1 ولما اكمل يسوع هذا الكلام انتقل من الجليل وجاء الى تخوم اليهودية من عبر الاردن.2 وتبعته جموع كثيرة فشفاهم هناك3 وجاء اليه الفريسيون ليجربوه قائلين له هل يحل للرجل ان يطلّق امرأته لكل سبب.4 فاجاب وقال لهم أما قرأتم ان الذي خلق من البدء خلقهما ذكرا وانثى5 وقال. من اجل هذا يترك الرجل اباه وامه ويلتصق بامرأته ويكون الاثنان جسدا واحدا.6 اذا ليسا بعد اثنين بل جسد واحد. فالذي جمعه الله لا يفرقه انسان.7 قالوا له فلماذا اوصى موسى ان يعطى كتاب طلاق فتطلّق.8 قال لهم ان موسى من اجل قساوة قلوبكم أذن لكم ان تطلّقوا نساءكم. ولكن من البدء لم يكن هكذا.9 واقول لكم ان من طلّق امرأته الا بسبب الزنى وتزوج باخرى يزني. والذي يتزوج بمطلّقة يزني.10 قال له تلاميذه ان كان هكذا امر الرجل مع المرأة فلا يوافق ان يتزوج.11 فقال لهم ليس الجميع يقبلون هذا الكلام بل الذين أعطي لهم.12 لانه يوجد خصيان ولدوا هكذا من بطون امهاتهم. ويوجد خصيان خصاهم الناس. ويوجد خصيان خصوا انفسهم لاجل ملكوت السموات. من استطاع ان يقبل فليقبل13 حينئذ قدم اليه اولاد لكي يضع يديه عليهم ويصلّي. فانتهرهم التلاميذ.14 اما يسوع فقال دعوا الاولاد يأتون اليّ ولا تمنعوهم لان لمثل هؤلاء ملكوت السموات.15 فوضع يديه عليهم ومضى من هناك16 واذا واحد تقدم وقال له ايها المعلم الصالح اي صلاح اعمل لتكون لي الحياة الابدية.17 فقال له لماذا تدعوني صالحا. ليس احد صالحا الا واحد وهو الله. ولكن ان اردت ان تدخل الحياة فاحفظ الوصايا.18 قال له ايّة الوصايا. فقال يسوع لا تقتل. لا تزن. لا تسرق. لا تشهد بالزور.19 اكرم اباك وامك واحب قريبك كنفسك.20 قال له الشاب هذه كلها حفظتها منذ حداثتي. فماذا يعوزني بعد.21 قال له يسوع ان اردت ان تكون كاملا فاذهب وبع املاكك واعط الفقراء فيكون لك كنز في السماء وتعال اتبعني.22 فلما سمع الشاب الكلمة مضى حزينا. لانه كان ذا اموال كثيرة23 فقال يسوع لتلاميذه الحق اقول لكم انه يعسر ان يدخل غني الى ملكوت السموات.24 واقول لكم ايضا ان مرور جمل من ثقب ابرة ايسر من ان يدخل غني الى ملكوت الله.25 فلما سمع تلاميذه بهتوا جدا قائلين. اذا من يستطيع ان يخلص.26 فنظر اليهم يسوع وقال لهم. هذا عند الناس غير مستطاع ولكن عند الله كل شيء مستطاع27 فاجاب بطرس حينئذ وقال له ها نحن قد تركنا كل شيء وتبعناك. فماذا يكون لنا.28 فقال لهم يسوع الحق اقول لكم انكم انتم الذين تبعتموني في التجديد متى جلس ابن الانسان على كرسي مجده تجلسون انتم ايضا على اثني عشر كرسيا تدينون اسباط اسرائيل الاثني عشر.29 وكل من ترك بيوتا او اخوة او اخوات او ابا او اما او امرأة او اولادا او حقولا من اجل اسمي يأخذ مئة ضعف ويرث الحياة الابدية.30 ولكن كثيرون اولون يكونون آخرين وآخرون اولين

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 to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?4 And he answered and said to them, Have you 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 join to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?6 Why they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.7 They say to him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorce, and to put her away?8 He said to 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 to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her which is put away does commit adultery.10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.11 But he said to 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' 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' sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.13 Then were there brought to 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 to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed there.16 And, behold, one came and said to him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?17 And he said to him, Why call you me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if you will enter into life, keep the commandments.18 He said to him, Which? Jesus said, You shall do no murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,19 Honor your father and your mother: and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.20 The young man said to him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?21 Jesus said to him, If you will be perfect, go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall 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 to his disciples, Truly I say to you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.24 And again I say to 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 to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.27 Then answered Peter and said to him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed you; what shall we have therefore?28 And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, That you which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.29 And every one that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name' sake, shall receive an hundred times, and shall inherit everlasting life.30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
