1 Ja sündis, kui Jeesus need kõned oli lõpetanud, et Ta läks ära Galileamaalt ja tuli Juudamaa alale teisele poole Jordanit.
2 Ja palju rahvast järgis Teda, ja Ta tegi neid seal terveks.
3 Siis tuli Tema juure varisere Teda kiusama, ja need ütlesid: „Kas on luba oma naist enesest lahutada igasugusel põhjusel?"
4 Tema kostis ja ütles: „Kas te ei ole lugenud, et Looja nad algusest lõi meheks ja naiseks, 5. ja ütles: Seepärast inimene jätab maha oma isa ja ema ning hoiab oma naise poole, ja need kaks on üks liha!?
5
6 Nõnda ei ole nad siis enam kaks, vaid on üks liha. Mis nüüd Jumal on ühte pannud, seda inimene ärgu lahutagu!"
7 Nad ütlesid Temale: „Mispärast siis Mooses käskis anda lahutuskirja ja lahutada?"
8 Ta ütles neile: „Mooses on teile teie südame kanguse pärast annud loa oma naisi enestest lahutada; algusest ei ole see mitte nõnda olnud.
9 Aga Ma ütlen teile: Kes oma naise enesest lahutab muidu kui hooruse pärast ja võtab teise, see rikub abielu, ja kes võtab lahutatud naise, see rikub abielu."
10 Siis ütlesid jüngrid Temale: „Kui inimese lugu naisega on nõnda, siis ei ole hea abielluda."
11 Aga Tema ütles neile: „Kõik ei saa aru sellest sõnast, vaid ainult need, kelledele see on antud.
12 Sest on kohitsetuid, kes emaihust nõnda on sündinud, ja on kohitsetuid, kes inimeste poolt on kohitsetud, ja on kohitsetuid, kes ise on ennast kohitsenud Taevariigi pärast. Kes suudab aru saada, saagu aru!"
13 Siis toodi Tema juure lapsukesi, et Ta Oma käed nende peale paneks ja palvetaks. Aga jüngrid sõitlesid toojaid.
14 Ent Jeesus ütles: „Jätke lapsukesed rahule ja ärge keelake neid Minu juure tulemast, sest niisuguste päralt on Taevariik!"
15 Ja Ta pani Oma käed nende peale ja läks sealt ära.
16 Ja vaata, üks mees astus Tema juure ja ütles Temale: „Õpetaja, mis head Ma pean tegema, et saaksin igavese elu?"
17 Aga Ta ütles talle: „Miks sa mult küsid, mis on hea? Ūksainus on, Kes on hea. Ent kui sa tahad minna elu sisse, siis pea käsud!"
18 Tema küsis Temalt: „Missugused?" Jeesus ütles: „Sa ei tohi tappa; Sa ei tohi abielu rikkuda; Sa ei tohi varastada; Sa ei tohi valet tunnistada;
19 Sa pead oma isa ja ema austama; ja armasta oma ligimest nagu iseennast!"
20 Noor mees ütles Temale: „Seda kõike ma olen pidanud. Mis puudub mul veel?"
21 Jeesus ütles talle: „Kui tahad olla täiuslik, siis mine müü oma varandus ja anna vaestele, siis on sul varandus taevas, ja tule ning järgi Mind!"
22 Kui noor mees seda sõna kuulis, läks ta ära kurva meelega, sest tal oli palju vara.
23 Siis Jeesus ütles Oma jüngritele: „Tõesti, Ma ütlen teile, rikkal on raske pääseda Taevariiki.
24 Ja taas Ma ütlen teile: Hõlpsam on kaamelil minna läbi nõelasilma kui rikkal pääseda Jumala Riiki!"
25 Kui jüngrid seda kuulsid, hämmastusid nad väga ning ütlesid: „Kes siis võib õndsaks saada?"
26 Aga Jeesus vaatas neile otsa ja ütles neile: „Inimestel on see võimatu, kuid Jumalal on kõik võimalik!"
27 Siis kostis Peetrus ning ütles Temale: „Vaata, meie oleme jätnud maha kõik ja oleme järginud Sind. Mis me sellest nüüd saame?"
28 Aga Jeesus ütles neile: „Tõesti, Ma ütlen teile, et teie, kes olete Mind järginud, uuestisündimises, kui Inimese Poeg istub Oma aujärjele, istute ka ise kaheteistkümnele aujärjele ja mõistate kohut kaheteistkümne Iisraeli suguharu üle!
29 Ja igaüks, kes on jätnud maha majad või vennad või õed või isa või ema või lapsed või põllud Minu nime pärast, saab mitu korda rohkem ja pärib igavese elu.
30 Aga paljud esimesed jäävad viimseiks, ja viimsed saavad esimesteks!
1 And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.
2 And a great number went after him; and he made them well there.
3 And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,
5 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?
6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.
7 They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?
8 He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.
9 And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.
10 The disciples say to him, If this is the position of a man in relation to his wife, it is better not to be married.
11 But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.
12 For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.
13 Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.
14 But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 And he put his hands on them, and went away.
16 And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.
18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,
19 Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.
20 The young man says to him, All these things have I done: what more is there?
21 Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.
22 But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.
25 And the disciples, hearing this, were greatly surprised, saying, Who then may have salvation?
26 And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have?
28 And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.
30 But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first.
