MattithYahu 19-20
Mat 19:1 And it came to be, when יהושע had ended these words, that He left Galil and came to the borders of Yehuḏah beyond the Yardĕn.
Mat 19:2 And large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
Mat 19:3 And the Pharisees came to Him, trying Him, and saying to Him, “Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every reason?”
Mat 19:4 And He answering, said to them, “Did you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
Mat 19:6 “So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what Elohim has joined together, let man not separate.”
Mat 19:7 They said to Him, “Why then did Moshe command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
Mat 19:8 He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts, Moshe allowed you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
Mat 19:9 “And I say to you, whoever puts away his wife, except on the ground of whoring, and marries another, commits adultery.1 And whoever marries her who has been put away commits adultery.”1
Mat 19:10 His talmidim said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is good not to marry.”
Mat 19:11 And He said to them, “Not all receive this word, but only those to whom it has been given,
Mat 19:12 for there are eunuchs, who were so born from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the reign of the heavens. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Mat 19:13 Then young children were brought to Him to lay His hands on them and pray, and the talmidim rebuked them.
Mat 19:14 But יהושע said, “Allow the young children and do not stop them from coming to Me, for of such is the reign of the heavens.”
Mat 19:15 And having laid hands on them He went from there.
Mat 19:16 And see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good shall I do to have everlasting life?”
Mat 19:17 And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the mitzvot.”1 Footnote:1See Lk. 10:28, John 12:50, Rev. 22:14.
Mat 19:18 He said to Him, “Which?” And יהושע said, “ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’
Mat 19:19 ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
Mat 19:20 The young man said to Him, “All these I have watched over from my youth, what do I still lack?”
Mat 19:21 יהושע said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.”
Mat 19:22 And when the young man heard the word, he went away sad, because he had many possessions.
Mat 19:23 And יהושע said to His talmidim, “Truly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter into the reign of the heavens.
Mat 19:24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the reign of Elohim.”
Mat 19:25 And when His talmidim heard it, they were very astonished, saying, “Who then is able to be saved?”
Mat 19:26 And looking intently יהושע said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with Elohim all is possible.”
Mat 19:27 Then Kĕpha answering, said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. What then shall we have?”
Mat 19:28 And יהושע said to them, “Truly I say to you, when the Son of Aḏam sits on the throne of His esteem, you who have followed Me in the rebirth, shall also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Yisra’ĕl.
Mat 19:29 “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My Name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Mat 19:30 “But many who are first shall be last, and the last first.
Mat 20:1 “For the reign of the heavens is like a man, a householder who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
Mat 20:2 “And when he had agreed with the workers for a silver piece a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Mat 20:3 “And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the market-place,
Mat 20:4 and said to them, ‘You too go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I shall give you.’ And they went.
Mat 20:5 “Having gone out again about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did likewise.
Mat 20:6 “And about the eleventh hour, having gone out, he found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’
Mat 20:7 “They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You too go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you shall receive.’
Mat 20:8 “And when evening came, the master of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’
Mat 20:9 “And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a silver piece.
Mat 20:10 “And when the first came, they thought they would receive more. But they too received each a silver piece.
Mat 20:11 “And when they received it, they grumbled against the householder,
Mat 20:12 saying, ‘These last have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’
Mat 20:13 “But he answering, said to one of them, ‘Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a silver piece?
Mat 20:14 ‘Take yours and go. But I wish to give to this last man as also to you.
Mat 20:15 ‘Is it not right for me to do what I wish with my own? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’
Mat 20:16 “Thus the last shall be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”1 Footnote:1See 22:14.
Mat 20:17 And יהושע, going up to Yerushalayim, took the twelve talmidim aside on the way and said to them,
Mat 20:18 “See, we are going up to Yerushalayim, and the Son of Aḏam shall be delivered up to the chief Kohanim and to the scribes. And they shall condemn Him to death,
Mat 20:19 and deliver Him to the gentiles to mock and to flog and to impale. And the third day He shall be raised.”
Mat 20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zaḇdai came to Him with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.
Mat 20:21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Command that these two sons of mine might sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your reign.”
Mat 20:22 But יהושע answering, said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?” They said to Him, “We are able.”
Mat 20:23 And He said to them, “You shall indeed drink My cup, and you shall be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with.1 But to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.” Footnote:1See Mark 10:39 and Luke 12:50.
Mat 20:24 And when the ten heard it, they were displeased at the two brothers.
Mat 20:25 But יהושע called them near and said, “You know that the rulers of the gentiles are masters over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.
Mat 20:26 “But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you, let him be your slave.
Mat 20:27 “And whoever wishes to be first among you, let him be your slave,
Mat 20:28 even as the Son of Aḏam did not come to be served, but to serve,1 and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Footnote:1See Mark 10:45 and Isa. 49:1-7.
Mat 20:29 And as they were leaving Yeriḥo, a large crowd followed Him.
Mat 20:30 And see, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that יהושע was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have compassion on us, O Master, Son of Dawiḏ!”
Mat 20:31 And the crowd rebuked them that they should be silent, but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have compassion on us, O Master, Son of Dawiḏ!”
Mat 20:32 And יהושע stopped and called them, and said, “What do you wish Me to do for you?”
Mat 20:33 They said to Him, “Master, that our eyes be opened.”
Mat 20:34 And having been moved with compassion, יהושע touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
