Chapter 19

Matthew Chapter 19: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)

¹And it became when the Jesus finished these, the words, he shifted from the Galilee, and he went into the territory of the Judea across the Jordan-River. ²And large crowds followed him, and he medically-treated them there.

³And the Pharisees came-forward to him, contesting him and saying to him, “If it-is-lawful to a man^‹a› to have released the woman of him in-accordance-with all a motive?”

⁴Moreover the-one, having replied, said to them, “Did you not discerned that the-one, having ╓made╖ ┌created┐ from a beginning, made them, {the-one} male sex and {the-one} female sex, ⁵and he said, “On-account-of this, a man^‹a› will leave the father and the mother, and he will be adhered to the woman of him, and the ones, two will be into one body^‹b›; ⁶therefore they will no-longer be {the-ones} two but one body^‹b›; then which the god coupled, let a humanity severe not.

⁷They say to him, “Then why did a Moses enjoin to have given-freely a document of-divorce and to have released her?”

⁸He says to them, “Because towards the hardness-of-heart of you a Moses entrusted you to have released the women of you; moreover from a beginning it have not become thus. ⁹Moreover I say to you, ‘That whoever might release the woman of him ┬except┬ ╒{except^‹c›}╕ upon a fornication, and he might marry {the-one} other, he is committed-adultery, ╓and the-one, having had been released, having married, is committed-adultery╖.’”

¹⁰His adherents say to him, “If the motive of a man^‹a› with the woman is thus, it is-expedient not to have married?”

¹¹Moreover he says to them, “Not {the-ones} all have room for^‹d› this, the word, but to whom it has been given-freely. ¹²For castrated-persons are whosoever was birthed thus out-of the belly^‹e› of the mother, and castrated-persons are whosoever was castrated from-under the humanity, and castrated-persons are whosoever castrated themselves because-of the dominion of the universes. The-one being-able to have room for^‹d›, let he have room for^‹d›.”

¹³At-that-time toddlers was brought-forward to him so-that he might place-upon them the hands, and he might pray, moreover the adherents censured them. ¹⁴Moreover the Jesus said, “Dismiss^you {not} the toddlers and hinder^you not to have them come towards me for the dominion of the universes is of the-ones such-as-these. ¹⁵And he, having been placed-upon them the hands, was proceeded thence.

¹⁶And lo one, having come-forward, said to him, “Good teacher! Which good will I do so-that I have real-and-genuine-life lasting-for-an-eon?”

¹⁷The-one said to him, “Why ╓do you say me {the-one} good, no-one good except one, the god,╖ ┌me concerning the-one good, one is the-one┐ moreover if you desire to enter into the real-and-genuine-life, heed^you the injunctions.”

¹⁸He says to him, “Which?”

Moreover the Jesus said the one, “You will not murder, you will not commit-adultery, you will not steal, you will not falsely-testify, ¹⁹honor^you the father and the mother; and you will love-affectionately the-one neighboring of you as yourself.”

²⁰The young man says to him, “All these I maintained ╓out-of the youth of me╖, which do I still lack?”

²¹the Jesus was asserting to him, “If you desire to be perfect, depart^you and trade^you the possessions of you, and give-freely^you to {the-ones} begging, and you will have treasure within the ╓universe╖ ┌universes┐. And come! Follow^you me!”

²²Moreover the young man, having heard the word, being distressed, went-forth for he, having large fortunes, was.

²³Morever the Jesus said to the adherents of him, “Truly I say to you that {the-one} wealthy will enter with-difficulty into the dominion of the universes. ²⁴Moreover again I say to you, ‘It is easier to have traversed a camel through a hole of a needle than {the-one} wealthy to have entered into the dominion of the god.’”

²⁵Moreover having heard the adherents ╓of him╖ were exceedingly astounded saying, “Who is-being-able thereupon to have been rescued?”

²⁶Moreover the Jesus, having looked-earnestly, said to them, “Beside humanity this is-impossible; moreover beside the god {the-ones} all {are} possible.”

²⁷At-that-time the Peter, having replied, said to him, “Lo! We dismissed {the-ones} all, and we followed with you, which will be thereupon to us?”

²⁸Moreover the Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, ‘That, you, the-ones, having followed me within the rebirth, whenever the son of the humanity might sit-down upon a throne of renown of him; also you, judging the twelve tribes of the Israel, ╓will sit-down╖ ┌will be-seated┐ upon twelve thrones; ²⁹and {the-one} all ╓who╖ ┌whosoever┐ dismissed houses or brothers or sisters or a father or a mother or ╓a woman {of him}╖ or children or fields on-account-of the name of me will receive one-hundred times-as-much, and he will inherit real-and-genuine-life lasting-for-an-eon. ³⁰Moreover {the-ones} many first will be last, and {the-ones many} last {will be} first.’”
