\subsection{\Matthew 19} \subsubsection{Questions About Divorce} \VS{1} And it came about when \Iesous finished these words, they went away from \Galilee and came into the region of \Judea on the other side of the \Jordan. \VS{2} And many crowds followed him, and he healed them there. \VS{3} And Pharisees came to him testing him and saying: Is it allowed to put away\footnote{That is, divorce} your wife for any reason? \VS{4} But answering he said: Have you not read that the [one] having created from the beginning made them male and female, \VS{5} and said: For this reason [a] man will leave his father and mother and join together\footnote{or ``unite," ``cling to"} to his wife, and the two shall be into one flesh? \VS{6} Thus they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has yoked together, humans shall\footnote{or ``must'' --- imperative} not sunder. \VS{7} They say to him: Why therefore did \Moses command to give [a] scroll of divorce\footnote{literally ``departure"} and put [her] away? \VS{8} He says to them: Because \Moses tolerated [it] to you because your hard-heartedness. This did not come to pass from the beginning. \VS{9} But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife makes her commit adultery, and the one having married the [one] having been put away commits adultery% \footnote{omit ``and the one having married the [one] having been put away commits adultery": \sinaiticus{}D many; as the text reads: \papyrus{25}B \koine \maj}. % TODO 'maj' \VS{10} The disciples say to him: If this is the relationship of the man with his wife, it is not advantageous to marry. \VS{11} But he said to them: Not all accept this statement, but to you it is given. \VS{12} For there are some eunuchs born that way from their mothers' belly, and there are some eunuchs castrated by men, and there are some eunuchs [who] castrate themselves because of the kingdom of the heavens. The [one] able to be accepting\footnote{or ``grasping,'' ``understanding''}, let\fnImperative{} him be accepting\footnote{or ``grasping,'' ``understanding"} [this]. \subsubsection{\Iesous and Little Children} \VS{13} Then they brought to him children in order that he lay his hands on them and pray [for them], but the disciples rebuked them. \VS{14} But \Iesous said: Allow the children and do not hinder them to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens. \VS{15} And after he lay his hands on them he went from there. \subsubsection{The Rich Young Man} \VS{16} And behold [one] having come to him said: Good\footnote{``Good'' W \vulgate{} \koine{}; omit: \sinaiticus{}BD} teacher, What good [thing] should I do in order that I have eternal zoe-life\fnZoe{}? \VS{17} So he said to him: Why do you ask me concerning the good? [Only] one is good% \footnote{text: W\koine{}; ``Why do you call me good? One is good --- God\sinaiticus{}BD}. But if you wish to enter into zoe-life\fnZoe{}, be keeping the commandments. \VS{18} He says to him: Which? So \Iesous said: Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, \VS{19} Honor father and mother, and agape-love your neighbor as yourself. \VS{20} The young man says to him: All these have I kept \footnote{add ``since my youth" D \koine{} most}. What do I yet lack? \VS{21} \Iesous said to him: If you wish to be complete\fnTelos{}, be going, sell your possessions and give [them] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and Come! Be following me. \VS{22} But when the young man heard this statement he went away troubled, for he was having many possessions. \VS{23} But \Iesous said to his disciples: Truly I say to you that the rich hardly% \footnote{or ``with great difficulty''} enter into the kingdom of the heavens. \VS{24} But again I say to you it is easier for [a] camel to go through the eye of [a] needle than for [the] rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God. \VS{25} When the disciples heard [this] they were exceedingly amazed saying: Who then is able to be saved?\footnote{Standard Jewish belief was that God blessed the righteous with wealth.} \VS{26} But looking at [them] \Iesous said to them: With people\fnAnthropos{} this is impossible, but with God everything is possible. \VS{27} Then \Petros answering said to him: Behold we have forsaken all and have followed you, what then will be to us? \VS{28} And \Iesous said to him: Truly I say to you that you the [ones] following me, in the renewal, when the Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{} sits on the throne of his glory, you yourselves shall also sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of \Israel. \VS{29} And everyone who forsakes houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or land because of my name, will receive a hundred% \footnote{''a hundred'' \sinaiticus{}DW \vulgate{} \koine{}; ``many'' B} times as much and will inherit eternal zoe-life\fnZoe{}. \VS{30} But many [who are] first will be last and last first.
