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
