Matthew 19 :: Webster's Bible (WEB)

Mat 19:1And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea, beyond Jordan:
Mat 19:2And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
Mat 19:3The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Mat 19:4And he answered and said to them, Have ye not read, that he who made them, at the beginning made them male and female,
Mat 19:5And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?
Mat 19:6Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mat 19:7They say to him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Mat 19:8He saith to them, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Mat 19:9And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for lewdness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her who is put away, committeth adultery.
Mat 19:10His disciples say to him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
Mat 19:11But he said to them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
Mat 19:12For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Jesus Blesses Little Children

Mat 19:13Then were brought to him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
Mat 19:14But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:15And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

The Rich Young Ruler

Mat 19:16And behold, one came and said to him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17And he said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat 19:18He saith to him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Mat 19:20The young man saith to him, All these things have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?
Mat 19:21Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Mat 19:22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Mat 19:23Then said Jesus to his disciples, Verily I say to you, that a rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:24And 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 kingdom of God.
Mat 19:25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Mat 19:26But Jesus beheld them, and said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

The Disciples' Reward

Mat 19:27Then answered Peter, and said to him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee? what shall we have therefore?
Mat 19:28And Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, that ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Mat 19:29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Mat 19:30But many that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
