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 unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye 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 cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto 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 unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 ¶ His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But he said unto 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’s 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’s sake. He that is able to receive it , let him receive it.
13 ¶ Then were there brought unto 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 unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 ¶ And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is , God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? 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 neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt 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 unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto 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 unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 ¶ Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, 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 inherit everlasting life. 30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
Par laulības šķiršanu
(Mk 10:1–12)1 Un notika, kad Jēzus bija beidzis runāt šos vārdus, viņš devās projām no Galilejas un, iedams pa Aizjardānu, nonāca Jūdejas zemē. 2 Liels ļaužu pūlis gāja viņam līdzi, un viņš tos dziedināja. 3 Pienāca kādi farizeji un, viņu izaicinādami, jautāja: “Vai ir atļauts vīram atlaist sievu kura katra iemesla dēļ?” 4 Jēzus tiem atbildēja: “Vai jūs neesat lasījuši, ka Radītājs jau no iesākuma viņus radīja kā vīrieti un sievieti 5 un sacīja: tādēļ cilvēks atstās tēvu un māti un pieķersies savai sievai, un tie divi būs viena miesa. – 6 Tā ka tie vairs nav divi, bet viena miesa. Tādēļ, ko Dievs savienojis, to cilvēkam nebūs šķirt.” 7 Tie viņam jautāja: “Kādēļ tad Mozus ir atļāvis dot šķiršanās rakstu un atlaist? ” 8 Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Viņš ir atļāvis jums šķirties no savām sievām jūsu cietsirdības dēļ, bet pašā sākumā tas tā nebija. 9 Es jums saku: ja kāds savu sievu atlaiž ne viņas netiklības dēļ un apprec citu, tas pārkāpj laulību.” 10 Mācekļi viņam sacīja: “Ja vīrs un sieva ir tā saistīti, tad jau labāk neprecēties.” 11 Jēzus atbildēja: “Ne visi var pieņemt šo vārdu, bet tikai tie, kam ir dots. 12 Ir einuhi, kas tādi piedzimuši no mātes miesām. Ir citi, kurus par tādiem padarījuši cilvēki; un ir tādi, kas paši sevi lēmuši bezlaulībai Debesu valstības dēļ. Kas to spēj saprast, lai saprot.”
Jēzus svētī bērniņus
(Mk 10:13–16Lk 18:15–17)13 Tad ļaudis atnesa bērniņus pie Jēzus, ka viņš tiem rokas uzliktu un par tiem aizlūgtu, bet mācekļi viņus norāja. 14 Taču Jēzus sacīja: “Laidiet bērniņus pie manis, neliedziet tiem, jo tādiem pieder Debesu valstība.” 15 Un, uzlicis tiem rokas, viņš devās projām no turienes.
Par bagāto jaunekli
(Mk 10:17–31Lk 18:18–30)16 Un, redzi, kāds jauneklis, pienācis klāt, jautāja: “Skolotāj, ko labu man darīt, lai man būtu mūžīgā dzīvība?” 17 Jēzus tam atbildēja: “Ko tu man jautā par to, kas labs? Viens vienīgais ir labs! Bet, ja tu gribi ieiet dzīvībā, tad ievēro baušļus.” 18 Tas jautāja: “Kurus?” Viņš atbildēja: “Nenogalini; nepārkāp laulību; nezodz; nedod nepatiesu liecību; 19 godā savu tēvu un māti un mīli savu tuvāko kā sevi pašu. ” 20 Jauneklis viņam sacīja: “To visu es esmu pildījis, kā man vēl pietrūkst?” 21 Jēzus tam sacīja: “Ja tu gribi būt pilnīgs, ej pārdod visu, kas tev pieder, un izdāvā nabagiem, tad tev būs manta debesīs, un nāc, seko man.” 22 Bet jauneklis, šos vārdus dzirdēdams, aizgāja bēdīgs, jo tam piederēja lieli īpašumi. 23 Tad Jēzus sacīja saviem mācekļiem: “Patiesi es jums saku: bagātam būs grūti ieiet Debesu valstībā. 24 Vēl es jums saku: vieglāk kamielim iziet caur adatas aci, nekā bagātam ieiet Dieva valstībā.” 25 To dzirdēdami, mācekļi ļoti brīnījās un jautāja: “Kas tad var tikt glābts?” 26 Jēzus, tos uzlūkojis, sacīja: “Cilvēkiem tas nav iespējams, bet Dievam viss ir iespējams.” 27 Tad Pēteris viņam par to jautāja: “Redzi, mēs esam visu atstājuši un esam tev sekojuši; kas mums būs par to?” 28 Jēzus tiem teica: “Patiesi es jums saku: jūs, kas man esat sekojuši, tad, kad viss būs atjaunots un Cilvēka Dēls sēdēs savā godības tronī, arī sēdēsiet uz divpadsmit troņiem un tiesāsiet divpadsmit Israēla ciltis. 29 Ikviens, kas atstājis māju vai brāļus, vai māsas, vai tēvu, vai māti, vai sievu, vai bērnus, vai tīrumus mana vārda dēļ, saņems simtkārtīgi un iemantos mūžīgo dzīvību. 30 Daudzi pirmie būs pēdējie un pēdējie – pirmie.”
