Matthew 19

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 Jesus had now finished what he wanted to say, and he left Galilee and came into the territory ofJudaea on the far side of the Jordan.	1 Και οτε ετελειωσεν ο Ιησους τους λογους τουτους, ανεχωρησεν απο της Γαλιλαιας και ηλθεν εις τα ορια της Ιουδαιας περαν του Ιορδανου.
2 Large crowds fol owed him and he healed them there.	2 Και ηκολουθησαν αυτον οχλοι πολλοι, και εθεραπευσεν αυτους εκει.
3 Some Pharisees approached him, and to put him to the test they said, 'Is it against the Law for a manto divorce his wife on any pretext whatever?'	3 Και ηλθον προς αυτον οι Φαρισαιοι, πειραζοντες αυτον και λεγοντες προς αυτον? Συγχωρειται εις τον ανθρωπον να χωρισθη την γυναικα αυτου δια πασαν αιτιαν;
4 He answered, 'Have you not read that the Creator from the beginning made them male and female	4 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Δεν ανεγνωσατε οτι ο πλασας απ' αρχης αρσεν και θηλυ επλασεν αυτους
5 and that he said: This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife,and the two become one flesh?	5 και ειπεν, Ενεκεν τουτου θελει αφησει ανθρωπος τον πατερα και την μητερα και θελει προσκολληθη εις την γυναικα αυτου, και θελουσιν εισθαι οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν;
6 They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh. So then, what God has united, human beings mustnot divide.'	6 Ωστε δεν ειναι πλεον δυο, αλλα μια σαρξ. Εκεινο λοιπον το οποιον ο Θεος συνεζευξεν, ανθρωπος ας μη χωριζη.
7 They said to him, 'Then why did Moses command that a writ of dismissal should be given in cases ofdivorce?'	7 Λεγουσι προς αυτον? Δια τι λοιπον ο Μωυσης προσεταξε να δωση εγγραφον διαζυγιου και να χωρισθη αυτην;
8 He said to them, 'It was because you were so hard-hearted, that Moses al owed you to divorce yourwives, but it was not like this from the beginning.	8 Λεγει προς αυτους? Διοτι ο Μωυσης δια την σκληροκαρδιαν σας συνεχωρησεν εις εσας να χωριζησθε τας γυναικας σας? απ' αρχης ομως δεν εγεινεν ουτω.
9 Now I say this to you: anyone who divorces his wife -- I am not speaking of an il icit marriage -- andmarries another, is guilty of adultery.'	9 Σας λεγω δε οτι οστις χωρισθη την γυναικα αυτου εκτος δια πορνειαν και νυμφευθη αλλην, γινεται μοιχος? και οστις νυμφευθη γυναικα κεχωρισμενην, γινεται μοιχος.
10 The disciples said to him, 'If that is how things are between husband and wife, it is advisable not tomarry.'	10 Λεγουσι προς αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου? Εαν ουτως εχη η υποχρεωσις του ανδρος προς την γυναικα, δεν συμφερει να νυμφευθη.
11 But he replied, 'It is not everyone who can accept what I have said, but only those to whom it isgranted.	11 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Δεν δυνανται παντες να δεχθωσι τον λογον τουτον, αλλ' εις οσους ειναι δεδομενον.
12 There are eunuchs born so from their mother's womb, there are eunuchs made so by human agencyand there are eunuchs who have made themselves so for the sake of the kingdom of Heaven. Let anyoneaccept this who can.'	12 Διοτι ειναι ευνουχοι, οιτινες εκ κοιλιας μητρος εγεννηθησαν ουτω, και ειναι ευνουχοι, οιτινες ευνουχισθησαν υπο των ανθρωπων, και ειναι ευνουχοι, οιτινες ευνουχισαν εαυτους δια την βασιλειαν των ουρανων. Οστις δυναται να δεχθη τουτο, ας δεχθη.
13 Then people brought little children to him, for him to lay his hands on them and pray. The disciplesscolded them,	13 Τοτε εφερθησαν προς αυτον παιδια, δια να επιθεση τας χειρας επ' αυτα και να ευχηθη? οι δε μαθηται επεπληξαν αυτα.
14 but Jesus said, 'Let the little children alone, and do not stop them from coming to me; for it is to suchas these that the kingdom of Heaven belongs.'	14 Πλην ο Ιησους ειπεν? Αφησατε τα παιδια και μη εμποδιζετε αυτα να ελθωσι προς εμε? διοτι των τοιουτων ειναι η βασιλεια των ουρανων.
15 Then he laid his hands on them and went on his way.	15 Και αφου επεθηκεν επ' αυτα τας χειρας, ανεχωρησεν εκειθεν.
16 And now a man came to him and asked, 'Master, what good deed must I do to possess eternal life?'	16 Και ιδου, προσελθων τις ειπε προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε αγαθε, τι καλον να πραξω δια να εχω ζωην αιωνιον;
17 Jesus said to him, 'Why do you ask me about what is good? There is one alone who is good. But ifyou wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.'	17 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον? Τι με λεγεις αγαθον; ουδεις αγαθος ειμη εις, ο Θεος. Αλλ' εαν θελης να εισελθης εις την ζωην, φυλαξον τας εντολας.
18 He said, 'Which ones?' Jesus replied, 'These: You shall not kil . You shall not commit adultery. Youshall not steal. You shal not give false witness.	18 Λεγει προς αυτον? Ποιας; Και ο Ιησους ειπε? Το μη φονευσης, μη μοιχευσης, μη κλεψης, μη ψευδομαρτυρησης,
19 Honour your father and your mother. You shal love your neighbour as yourself.'	19 τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα, και θελεις αγαπα τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον.
20 The young man said to him, 'I have kept al these. What more do I need to do?'	20 Λεγει προς αυτον ο νεανισκος? Παντα ταυτα εφυλαξα εκ νεοτητος μου? τι μοι λειπει ετι;
21 Jesus said, 'If you wish to be perfect, go and sell your possessions and give the money to the poor,and you wil have treasure in heaven; then come, fol ow me.'	21 Ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Εαν θελης να ησαι τελειος, υπαγε, πωλησον τα υπαρχοντα σου και δος εις πτωχους, και θελεις εχει θησαυρον εν ουρανω, και ελθε, ακολουθει μοι.
22 But when the young man heard these words he went away sad, for he was a man of great wealth.	22 Ακουσας δε ο νεανισκος τον λογον, ανεχωρησε λυπουμενος? διοτι ειχε κτηματα πολλα.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'In truth I tell you, it is hard for someone rich to enter the kingdom ofHeaven.	23 Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς τους μαθητας αυτου? Αληθως σας λεγω οτι δυσκολως θελει εισελθει πλουσιος εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων.
24 Yes, I tel you again, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for someonerich to enter the kingdom of Heaven.'	24 Και παλιν σας λεγω, Ευκολωτερον ειναι να περαση καμηλος δια τρυπηματος βελονης παρα πλουσιος να εισελθη εις την βασιλειαν του Θεου.
25 When the disciples heard this they were astonished. 'Who can be saved, then?' they said.	25 Ακουσαντες δε οι μαθηται αυτου εξεπληττοντο σφοδρα, λεγοντες? Τις λοιπον δυναται να σωθη;
26 Jesus gazed at them. 'By human resources', he told them, 'this is impossible; for God everything ispossible.'	26 Εμβλεψας δε ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους? Παρα ανθρωποις τουτο αδυνατον ειναι, παρα τω Θεω ομως τα παντα ειναι δυνατα.
27 Then Peter answered and said, 'Look, we have left everything and fol owed you. What are we tohave, then?'	27 Τοτε αποκριθεις ο Πετρος, ειπε προς αυτον? Ιδου, ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και σοι ηκολουθησαμεν? τι λοιπον θελει εισθαι εις ημας;
28 Jesus said to them, 'In truth I tel you, when everything is made new again and the Son of man isseated on his throne of glory, you yourselves wil sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.	28 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Αληθως σας λεγω οτι σεις οι ακολουθησαντες μοι, εν τη παλιγγενεσια, οταν καθηση ο Υιος του ανθρωπου επι του θρονου της δοξης αυτου, θελετε καθησει και σεις επι δωδεκα θρονους κρινοντες τας δωδεκα φυλας του Ισραηλ.
29 And everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or land for the sake ofmy name wil receive a hundred times as much, and also inherit eternal life.	29 Και πας οστις αφηκεν οικιας η αδελφους η αδελφας η πατερα η μητερα η γυναικα η τεκνα η αγρους ενεκεν του ονοματος μου, εκατονταπλασια θελει λαβει και ζωην αιωνιον θελει κληρονομησει.
30 'Many who are first will be last, and the last, first.'	30 Πολλοι ομως πρωτοι θελουσιν εισθαι εσχατοι και εσχατοι πρωτοι.
