1 και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο ιησους τους λογους τουτους μετηρεν απο της γαλιλαιας και ηλθεν εις τα ορια της ιουδαιας περαν του ιορδανου. 2 και ηκολουθησαν αυτω οχλοι πολλοι, και εθεραπευσεν αυτους εκει. 3 και προσηλθον αυτω οι φαρισαιοι πειραζοντες αυτον και λεγοντες αυτω· ει εξεστιν ανθρωπω απολυσαι την γυναικα αυτου κατα πασαν αιτιαν; 4 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις· ουκ ανεγνωτε οτι ο ποιησας απ αρχης αρσεν και θηλυ εποιησεν αυτους 5 και ειπεν, ενεκεν τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωπος τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και κολληθησεται τη γυναικι αυτου, και εσονται οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν; 6 ωστε ουκετι εισιν δυο, αλλα σαρξ μια. ο ουν ο θεος συνεζευξεν, ανθρωπος μη χωριζετω. 7 λεγουσιν αυτω· τι ουν μωσης ενετειλατο δουναι βιβλιον αποστασιου και απολυσαι αυτην; 8 λεγει αυτοις· οτι μωσης προς την σκληροκαρδιαν υμων επετρεψεν υμιν απολυσαι τας γυναικας υμων· απ αρχης δε ου γεγονεν ουτως. 9 λεγω δε υμιν οτι ος αν απολυση την γυναικα αυτου μη επι πορνεια και γαμηση αλλην, μοιχαται· και ο απολελυμενην γαμησας μοιχαται. 10 λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου· ει ουτως εστιν η αιτια του ανθρωπου μετα της γυναικος, ου συμφερει γαμησαι. 11 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις· ου παντες χωρουσιν τον λογον τουτον, αλλ οις δεδοται· 12 εισιν γαρ ευνουχοι οιτινες εκ κοιλιας μητρος εγεννηθησαν ουτως. και εισιν ευνουχοι οιτινες ευνουχισθησαν υπο των ανθρωπων, και εισιν ευνουχοι οιτινες ευνουχισαν εαυτους δια την βασιλειαν των ουρανων. ο δυναμενος χωρειν χωρειτω. 13 τοτε προσηνεχθη αυτω παιδια, ινα επιθη αυτοις τας χειρας και προσευξηται· οι δε μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις. 14 ο δε ιησους ειπεν· αφετε τα παιδια και μη κωλυετε αυτα ελθειν προς με· των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων. 15 και επιθεις τας χειρας αυτοις επορευθη εκειθεν. 16 και ιδου εις προσελθων ειπεν αυτω· διδασκαλε αγαθε, τι αγαθον ποιησω ινα εχω ζωην αιωνιον; 17 ο δε ειπεν αυτω· τι με λεγεις αγαθον; ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος. ει δε θελεις εισελθειν εις την ζωην, τηρησον τας εντολας. 18 λεγει αυτω· ποιας; ο δε ιησους ειπεν· το ου φονευσεις, ου μοιχευσεις, ου κλεψεις, ου ψευδομαρτυρησεις, 19 τιμα τον πατερα και την μητερα, και αγαπησεις τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον. 20 λεγει αυτω ο νεανισκος· παντα ταυτα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου· τι ετι υστερω; 21 εφη αυτω ο ιησους· ει θελεις τελειος ειναι, υπαγε πωλησον σου τα υπαρχοντα και δος πτωχοις, και εξεις θησαυρον εν ουρανω, και δευρο ακολουθει μοι. 22 ακουσας δε ο νεανισκος τον λογον απηλθεν λυπουμενος· ην γαρ εχων κτηματα πολλα. 23 ο δε ιησους ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου· αμην λεγω υμιν οτι δυσκολως πλουσιος εισελευσεται εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων. 24 παλιν δε λεγω υμιν, ευκοπωτερον εστιν καμηλον δια τρυπηματος ραφιδος διελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν. 25 ακουσαντες δε οι μαθηται αυτου εξεπλησσοντο σφοδρα λεγοντες· τις αρα δυναται σωθηναι; 26 εμβλεψας δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· παρα ανθρωποις τουτο αδυνατον εστιν, παρα δε θεω παντα δυνατα εστιν. 27 τοτε αποκριθεις ο πετρος ειπεν αυτω· ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι· τι αρα εσται ημιν; 28 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις· αμην λεγω υμιν οτι υμεις οι ακολουθησαντες μοι, εν τη παλιγγενεσια, οταν καθιση ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι θρονου δοξης αυτου, καθισεσθε και υμεις επι δωδεκα θρονους κρινοντες τας δωδεκα φυλας του ισραηλ. 29 και πας ος αφηκεν οικιας η αδελφους η αδελφας η πατερα η μητερα η γυναικα η τεκνα η αγρους ενεκεν του ονοματος μου, εκατονταπλασιονα ληψεται και ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησει. 30 πολλοι δε εσονται πρωτοι εσχατοι και εσχατοι πρωτοι.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

… her that is divorced from another husband, committeth adultery." And, "There are some who have been made eunuchs of men, and some who were born eunuchs, and some who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake; but all cannot receive this saying." So that all who, by human law, are twice married, are in the eye of …
For this reason did the Lord declare that the first should in truth be last, and the last first. And the prophet, too, indicates the same, saying, "instead of fathers, children have been born unto thee." For the Lord, having been born "the First-begotten of the dead," and receiving into His bosom the ancient fathers, has regenerated them into the …
… how he may please the Lord; but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife." I should, therefore, have listened more attentively to these words, and, being severed "for the kingdom of heaven's sake," I would with greater happiness have expected Thy embraces.
