- Kapitel 19 -

(Mark 10:1–12)
1
And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan.
2
And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there.
3
And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4
Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and female? And he said:
5
For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.
6
Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
7
They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?
8
He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9
And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
10
His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.
11
Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.
12
For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.

Jesus Blesses the Children

(Mark 10:13–16; Luke 18:15–17)
13
Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
14
But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
15
And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.

The Rich Young Man

(Mark 10:17–31; Luke 18:18–30)
16
And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?
17
Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18
He said to him: Which? And 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 neighbor as thyself.
20
The young man saith to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?
21
Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.
22
And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.
23
Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, 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 pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
25
And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered very much, saying: Who then can be saved?
26
And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible.
27
Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?
28
And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29
And every one that hath left house, 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 possess life everlasting.
30
And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first.
(Mark 10:1–12)
1
When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2
Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3
Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4
He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, (a)
5
and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’? (b)
6
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
7
They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
8
He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
10
His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
11
But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

Jesus Blesses the Children

(Mark 10:13–16; Luke 18:15–17)
13
Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14
But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
15
He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

The Rich Young Man

(Mark 10:17–31; Luke 18:18–30)
16
Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
17
He said to him, “Why do you call me good? (c) No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to 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 offer false testimony.’
19
‘Honor your father and your mother.’ (d) And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” (e)
20
The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21
Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22
But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23
Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
24
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25
When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26
Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27
Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
28
Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.
30
But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
