Mattityahu 19
19
1And it came to pass when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach finished these devarim, he departed from the Galil and came into the regions of Yehudah east of the Yarden River.
2And a great multitude followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, who brought refuah (healing) to them there.
3And the Perushim approached him with a she'elah to test him, and they asked him, Is it mutar (permissible) for a man to give a get (divorce) to his wife for any and every reason?
4But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, Have you not read that HaBoreh (The Creator, Yotzer) bereshis (in the beginning) created them zachar (male) and nekevah (female)?#19:4 Gn 1:27; 5:2
5And he said, Because of this, YAAZAV ISH ES AVIV VES IMMO VDAVAK BISHTO VHAYU LVASAR ECHAD (a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his isha (wife), and the two will be one flesh).#19:5 Gn 2:24
6So they are no longer shnayim (two) but basar echad (one flesh). Therefore, whatever Hashem joined together, let no man divide asunder.
7They say to him, Why then did Moshe Rabbenu give the mitzvah to give the get, the sefer keritut, and send her away?
8He says to them, Moshe, because of your hardness of heart, permitted you to give the get to your wives; but from bereshis (in the beginning), however, it was not so.
9But I#19:9 Moshiach say to you that whoever, the case of zenut (fornication) being excepted, gives the get to his wife and marries another, is guilty of niuf (adultery).
10Moshiachʼs talmidim say to him, If thus is the case of the man with the wife, nikhnas lchuppah (to be wed) is not advantageous.
11But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Not everyone is able to accept this dvar torah, but rather those to whom it has been given.
12For there are sarisim (eunuchs) who from the womb of their Em were born thus, and there are sarisim who were made sarisim by men, and there are sarisim who make sarisim of themselves for the sake of the Malchut HaShomayim. The one able to receive this, let him receive it.
13Then yeladim were brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach that he might place his hands on them and say a bracha. However, Moshiachʼs talmidim rebuked them.
14But he said, Permit the yeladim to come to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Malchut HaShomayim.
15And having placed his hands on the yeladim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed from there.
16And one, having approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, said, Rebbe, what mitzvah, what good may I do that I may have Chayyei Olam?
17And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good, nu? But if you wish to enter into Chayyim (Life), do not fail to be shomer mitzvot.
18He says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Which mitzvah? And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, LO TIRTZACH, LO TINAF, LO TIGNOV, LO TAANEH VREIACHAH ED SHAKER, (You shall not murder, commit adultery, steal, bear false witness),
19KABEID ES AVICHA VES IMMECHA,#19:19 Ex 20:12-16; Dt 5:16-20 VAHAVTAH LREACHA KAMOCHA#19:19 Lv 19:18 (Honor your father and your mother, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself).
20The bocher (bachelor, young man) says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, I was shomer mitzvot and frum in all these things, so where do I still fall short?
21Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, If you wish to be tamim (perfect), if you wish to have shelemut (perfection, completeness), then go and sell your possessions and give to the aniyim (poor) and you will have otzar (treasure) in Shomayim. Then come and follow me.#19:21 Moshiach
22But having heard the divrei Moshiach, the young man went away with agmat nefesh (grief), for he was having many possessions.
23And he said to his talmidim, Omein, I say to you that an oisher with difficulty will enter into the Malchut HaShomayim.
24And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for an oisher to enter into the Malchut HaShomayim.
25And when Moshiachʼs talmidim heard this, they were exceedingly astounded, saying, Who then is able to receive the Yeshu'at Eloheinu?
26And having looked upon them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, With Bnei Adam it is impossible; but with Hashem all things are possible.
27Then Kefa said in reply to him, Hinei! We have left everything and followed you#19:27 as Moshiach! Where does that leave us?
28And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Omein, I say to you, that you, the ones having followed me, when the Briah (Creation) becomes Chadasha (New), when the Bar Enosh#19:28 Moshiach sits upon his Kisei Kavod (Throne of Glory), you also will sit upon the Shneym Asar Kisot (Twelve Thrones) judging the Shneym Asar Shivtei Yisroel.
29And anyone who left bais or achim or achayot or Abba or Em or banim or sadot (fields) on account of me#19:29 Moshiach and my Name (Yehoshua, Yeshua), will receive a hundred times over and will inherit Chayyei Olam.
30And many who are Rishonim (first ones) will be Acharonim (last ones), and the Acharonim, Rishonim.

Matthew 19
19
The Question of Divorce
1When Jesus had finished this instruction, # Mk 10:1-12 He departed from Galilee and went to the region of Judea across the Jordan. # Mt 7:28; Lk 9:51; Jn 10:40 2Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there. # Mt 4:23; 12:15 3Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds? ” # Mt 5:31; Jn 8:6
4“Haven’t you read,” He replied, “that He who created # Other mss read made them in the beginning made them male and female,” # Gn 2:18; Mt 21:16 # Gn 1:27; 5:2 5and He also said:
“For this reason a man will leave
his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh? # Gn 2:24; Mal 2:15; 1Co 6:16; Eph 5:31 # Gn 2:24
6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
7“Why then,” they asked Him, “did Moses command us to give divorce papers # Dt 24:1-4; Mt 5:31 and to send her away? ”
8He told them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts. But it was not like that from the beginning. 9And I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.” # Other mss add Also whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery ; Mt 5:32 # Mt 5:32; Lk 16:18
10His disciples # Mt 10:1; 26:56; Mk 3:7; 16:20; Lk 6:13; Jn 12:16 said to Him, “If the relationship of a man with his wife is like this, it’s better not to marry! ”
11But He told them, “Not everyone can accept this saying, but only those it has been given # Mt 13:11; 1Co 7:7 to. 12For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, there are eunuchs who were made by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way because of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”
Blessing the Children
13Then children were brought to Him so He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them. # Mk 10:13-16; Lk 18:15-17 14Then Jesus said, “Leave the children alone, and don’t try to keep them from coming to Me, because the kingdom of heaven is made up of people like this.” # Lit heaven is of such ones # Mt 18:3; 1Pt 2:2 15After putting His hands on them, He went on from there.
The Rich Young Ruler
16Just then someone came up and asked Him, # Mk 10:17-30; Lk 10:25-28; 18:18-30 “Teacher, what good must I do to have eternal life? ” # Mk 10:17; Jn 12:25; Ac 13:48
17“Why do you ask Me about what is good? ” # Other mss read Why do you call Me good? He said to him. “There is only One who is good. # Other mss read No one is good but One — God If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” # Lv 18:5; Neh 9:29; Ezk 20:21
18“Which ones? ” he asked Him. Jesus answered:
Do not murder;
do not commit adultery;
do not steal;
do not bear false witness; # Ex 20:13-16; Dt 5:17-20
19honor your father and your mother;
and love your neighbor as yourself. # Ex 20:12; Lv 19:18; Dt 5:16; Mt 5:43; 22:39; Gl 5:14; Jms 2:8 # Ex 20:12-16; Lv 19:18; Dt 5:16-20
20“I have kept all these,” # Other mss add from my youth the young man told Him. “What do I still lack? ”
21“If you want to be perfect,” # Or complete Jesus said to him, “go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, # Lk 12:33; 16:9; Ac 2:45; 4:35; 1Tm 6:18 and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22When the young man heard that command, he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.
Possessions and the Kingdom
23Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I assure you: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven! # Mt 13:22; Mk 10:23; 1Co 1:26; 1Tm 6:9 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” # Mt 12:28; Mk 10:25; Lk 18:25
25When the disciples heard this, they were utterly astonished and asked, “Then who can be saved? ”
26But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” # Gn 18:14; Jb 42:2; Jr 32:17; Zch 8:6; Mk 10:27; Lk 18:27
27Then Peter responded to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You. So what will there be for us? ”
28Jesus said to them, “I assure you: In the Messianic Age, # Lit the regeneration # Is 65:17; 66:22; 2Pt 3:13; Rv 21:1 when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, # Ps 45:6; Mt 25:31; Heb 1:8; Rv 3:21; 22:1,3 you who have followed Me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses, brothers or sisters, father or mother, # Other mss add or wife children, or fields because of My name will receive 100 times more and will inherit eternal life. # Mt 6:33; Mk 10:29; Lk 18:29 30But many who are first will be last, and the last first. # Mt 20:16; 21:31; Mk 10:31; Lk 13:30
