\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.
