Matthew

休妻的问题

1耶稣说完了这些话，就离开加利利，来到犹太的境界约旦河外。

2有许多人跟着他，他就在那里把他们的病人治好了。

3有法利赛人来试探耶稣，说：「人无论什么缘故都可以休妻吗？」

4耶稣回答说：「那起初造人的，是造男造女，

5并且说：『因此，人要离开父母，与妻子连合，二人成为一体。』这经你们没有念过吗？

6既然如此，夫妻不再是两个人，乃是一体的了。所以， 神配合的，人不可分开。」

7法利赛人说：「这样，摩西为什么吩咐给妻子休书，就可以休她呢？」

8耶稣说：「摩西因为你们的心硬，所以许你们休妻，但起初并不是这样。

9我告诉你们，凡休妻另娶的，若不是为淫乱的缘故，就是犯奸淫了；有人娶那被休的妇人，也是犯奸淫了。」

10门徒对耶稣说：「人和妻子既是这样，倒不如不娶。」

11耶稣说：「这话不是人都能领受的，惟独赐给谁，谁才能领受。

12因为有生来是阉人，也有被人阉的，并有为天国的缘故自阉的。这话谁能领受就可以领受。」

耶稣为小孩祝福

13那时，有人带着小孩子来见耶稣，要耶稣给他们按手祷告，门徒就责备那些人。

14耶稣说：「让小孩子到我这里来，不要禁止他们；因为在天国的，正是这样的人。」

15耶稣给他们按手，就离开那地方去了。

少年财主

16有一个人来见耶稣，说：「夫子，我该做什么善事才能得永生？」

17耶稣对他说：「你为什么以善事问我呢？只有一位是善的。你若要进入永生，就当遵守诫命。」

18他说：「什么诫命？」耶稣说：「就是不可杀人；不可奸淫；不可偷盗；不可作假见证；

19当孝敬父母；又当爱人如己。」

20那少年人说：「这一切我都遵守了，还缺少什么呢？」

21耶稣说：「你若愿意作完全人，可去变卖你所有的，分给穷人，就必有财宝在天上；你还要来跟从我。」

22那少年人听见这话，就忧忧愁愁地走了，因为他的产业很多。

23耶稣对门徒说：「我实在告诉你们，财主进天国是难的。

24我又告诉你们，骆驼穿过针的眼，比财主进 神的国还容易呢！」

25门徒听见这话，就希奇得很，说：「这样谁能得救呢？」

26耶稣看着他们，说：「在人这是不能的，在 神凡事都能。」

27彼得就对他说：「看哪，我们已经撇下所有的跟从你，将来我们要得什么呢？」

28耶稣说：「我实在告诉你们，你们这跟从我的人，到复兴的时候，人子坐在他荣耀的宝座上，你们也要坐在十二个宝座上，审判以色列十二个支派。

29凡为我的名撇下房屋，或是弟兄、姊妹、父亲、母亲、儿女、田地的，必要得着百倍，并且承受永生。

30然而，有许多在前的，将要在后；在后的，将要在前。」

Teachings about Divorce

1When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

3Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

4Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’

5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?

6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

7“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning.

9Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”

11“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.

12For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

Jesus Blesses the Children

13Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

15And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.

The Rich Young Man

16Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”

17“Why do you ask Me about what is good?”Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

18“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,

19honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’”

20“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”

21Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

22When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.

23Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

27“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”

28Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things,when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wifeor children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

30But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
