1 It came about that when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came to the region of Judea that is beyond the Jordan River.
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que acabando Jesús estas palabras, se pasó de Galilea, y vino á los términos de Judea, pasado el Jordán.
2 Great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
2 Y le siguieron muchas gentes, y los sanó allí.
3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, saying to him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?”
3 Entonces se llegaron á él los Fariseos, tentándole, y diciéndole: ¿Es lícito al hombre repudiar á su mujer por cualquiera causa?
4 Jesus answered and said, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female?
4 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿No habéis leído que el que [los] hizo al principio, macho y hembra los hizo,
5 He who made them also said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.'
5 Y dijo: Por tanto, el hombre dejará padre y madre, y se unirá á su mujer, y serán dos en una carne?
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one tear apart.”
6 Así que, no son ya más dos, sino una carne: por tanto, lo que Dios juntó, no [lo] aparte el hombre.
7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of divorce and then to send her away?”
7 Dícenle: ¿Por qué, pues, Moisés mandó dar carta de divorcio, y repudiarla?
8 He said to them, “For your hardness of heart, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not that way.
8 Díceles: Por la dureza de vuestro corazón Moisés os permitió repudiar á vuestras mujeres: mas al principio no fué así.
9 I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and the man who marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.”
9 Y yo os digo que cualquiera que repudiare á su mujer, si no fuere por causa de fornicación, y se casare con otra, adultera: y el que se casare con la repudiada, adultera.
10 The disciples said to Jesus, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
10 Dícenle sus discípulos: Si así es la condición del hombre con su mujer, no conviene casarse.
11 But Jesus said to them, “Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those who are allowed to accept it.
11 Entonces él les dijo: No todos reciben esta palabra, sino aquellos á quienes es dado.
12 For there are eunuchs who were that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this teaching, let him receive it.”
12 Porque hay eunucos que nacieron así del vientre de su madre; y hay eunucos, que son hechos eunucos por los hombres; y hay eunucos que se hicieron á sí mismos eunucos por causa del reino de los cielos; el que pueda ser capaz de eso, séalo.
13 Then some little children were brought to him so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
13 Entonces le fueron presentados unos niños, para que pusiese las manos sobre ellos, y orase; y los discípulos les riñeron.
14 But Jesus said, “Permit the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such ones.”
14 Y Jesús dijo: Dejad á los niños, y no les impidáis de venir á mí; porque de los tales es el reino de los cielos.
15 He placed his hands on the children, and then he went away from there.
15 Y habiendo puesto sobre ellos las manos, se partió de allí.
16 Behold, a man came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life?”
16 Y he aquí, uno llegándose le dijo: Maestro bueno, ¿qué bien haré para tener la vida eterna?
17 Jesus said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only one is good, but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
17 Y él le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Ninguno [es] bueno sino uno, [es á saber], Dios: y si quieres entrar en la vida, guarda los mandamientos.
18 The man said to him, “Which commandments?” Jesus said, “Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
18 Dícele: ¿Cuáles? Y Jesús dijo: No matarás: No adulterarás: No hurtarás: No dirás falso testimonio:
19 honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
19 Honra á tu padre y á tu madre: y, Amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo.
20 The young man said to him, “All these things I have obeyed. What do I still need?”
20 Dícele el mancebo: Todo esto guardé desde mi juventud: ¿qué más me falta?
21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
21 Dícele Jesús: Si quieres ser perfecto, anda, vende lo que tienes, y da[lo] á los pobres, y tendrás tesoro en el cielo; y ven, sígueme.
22 But when the young man heard what Jesus said, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
22 Y oyendo el mancebo esta palabra, se fué triste, porque tenía muchas posesiones.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
23 Entonces Jesús dijo á sus discípulos: De cierto os digo, que un rico difícilmente entrará en el reino de los cielos.
24 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.”
24 Mas os digo, que más liviano trabajo es pasar un camello por el ojo de una aguja, que entrar un rico en el reino de Dios.
25 When the disciples heard it, they were very astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
25 Mas sus discípulos, oyendo [estas cosas], se espantaron en gran manera, diciendo: ¿Quién pues podrá ser salvo?
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
26 Y mirándo[los] Jesús, les dijo: Para con los hombres imposible es esto; mas para con Dios todo es posible.
27 Then Peter answered and said to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
27 Entonces respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: He aquí, nosotros hemos dejado todo, y te hemos seguido: ¿qué pues tendremos?
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the new age when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
28 Y Jesús les dijo: De cierto os digo, que vosotros que me habéis seguido, en la regeneración, cuando se sentará el Hijo del hombre en el trono de su gloria, vosotros también os sentaréis sobre doce tronos, para juzgar á las doce tribus de Israel.
29 Every one who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or land for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
29 Y cualquiera que dejare casas, ó hermanos, ó hermanas, ó padre, ó madre, ó mujer, ó hijos, ó tierras, por mi nombre, recibirá cien veces tanto, y heredará la vida eterna.
30 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
30 Mas muchos primeros serán postreros, y postreros primeros.

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).
We heard in the Gospel that the Lord, rejoicing greatly in Spirit, said unto God the Father, "I confess to Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Thy sight.

Having constantly left Judæa on account of the envy of those men, now He frequents it from this time forth, because the passion was to be nigh at hand; He goeth not up, however, unto Jerusalem for a while, but "into the coasts of Judæa." "And," when He was come, "great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them."

… 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.
