Update: 2023.12.01
Mat. 19:1 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) he caused it to come to pass (egeneto), when (hote) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) completed (etelesen) the (tous) words (logous) of these (toutous), he lifted it3332 (metēren) away from (apo) the (tēs) Galilee (Galilaias).
And (kai) he came (ēlthen) into (eis) the (ta) boundaries (horia) of the (tēs) Judaea (Ioudaias), [on the, AE] other side (peran) of the (tou) Jordan (Iordanou).
Mat. 19:2 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) many (polloi) crowds (ochloi) followed (ēkolouthēsan) him (autō).
And (kai) of them (autous), there (ekei) he gave therapy (etherapeusen).
Mat. 19:3 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) Pharisees (pharisaioi) came to (prosēlthon) him (autō) testing (peirazontes) him (auton), and (kai) saying (legontes) if (ei), “Is it being outside1832 (exestin) [of the law, AE] for [a] mortal (anthrōpō) to send away (apolusai) the (tēn) female (gunaika) of him (autou) down on account (kata) of every (pasan) cause (aitian)?"
Mat. 19:4 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [Jesus, v1, RE] having been caused to make [a] decision (apokritheis), he enunciated (eipen), "Have you absolutely not read up (ouk anegnōte) that (hoti) the one (ho) having created (ktisas) them (autous) from (ap) [the] beginning (archēs) made (epoiēsen) [a] male (arsen), and (kai) [a] breasted one (thēlu)!?"
Mat. 19:5(LIT/UBS4) And (kai) he enunciated (eipen), "On account (heneka) of this (toutou) [a] mortal (anthrōpos) shall leave (kataleipsei) the (ton) father (patera) and (kai) the (tēn) mother (mētera), and (kai) he shall be glued (kollēthēsetai) to the (tē) female (gunaiki) of him (autou).
And (kai) the (hoi) two (duo) shall cause themselves to be (esontai) into (eis) one (mian) flesh (sarka).
(See Gen. 2:24)
Mat. 19:6 (LIT/UBS4) And so (hōste) they are (eisin) absolutely no longer yet (ouketi) two (duo), BUT (alla), one (mia) flesh (sarx)!
Therefore (oun), whatever (ho) the (ho) God (theos) yoked together (sunezeuxen), <let> no mortal (anthrōpos mē) separate (chōrizetō)."
(For flesh used as a general reference to mortalkind, see Mat. 10:28, 16:17, 19:5-6, 24:22; 1 Pet. 3:18)
Mat. 19:7 (LIT/UBS4) They say (legousin) to him (autō), “Therefore (oun), why (ti) did Moses (Mōusēs) cause himself to give [an] injunction (eneteilato) to give (dounai) [a] little scroll (biblion), [a] writing of departure (apostasiou), and (kai) to send her away (apolusai autēn)?”
Mat. 19:8 (LIT/UBS4) He says (legei) to them (autois) that (hoti), “Moses (Mōusēs), toward (pros) [the sake, AE] of the (tēn) hardness of the heart (sklērokardian) of you (humōn), turned [[a] departure, v7, RE] over (epetrepsen) to you (humin), to send away (apolusai) the (tas) females (gunaikas) of you (humōn).
But (de) from (ap’) [the] beginning (archēs) it has absolutely not become (ou gegonen) thusly (houtōs)!
Mat. 19:9 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) I say (legō) to you (humin), that (hoti) perhaps (an) whoever (hos) may send away (apolusē) the (tēn) female (gunaika) of him (autou) not (mē) over (epi) fornication (porneia), and (kai) may marry (gamēsē) another (allēn), he adulterates himself (moichatai)!
Mat. 19:10 (LIT/UBS4) The (hoi) disciples (mathētai) of him (autou) say (legousin) to him (autō), “If (ei) thusly (houtōs) is (estin) the (hē) cause (aitia) of the (tou) mortal (anthrōpou) with (meta) the (tēs) female (gunaikos), it is absolutely not mutually beneficial (ou sumpherei) to marry (gamēsai)!”
Mat. 19:11 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [Jesus, v1, RE] enunciated (eipen) to them (autois), “Absolutely not (ou) all (pantes) find room (chōrousin) for the (ton) Word (logon) of this (touton), BUT (all’), [the ones, AE] to whom (hois) [the Word, RE] has been given (dedotai) [find room, RE]!
Mat. 19:12 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) there are (eisin) eunuchs (eunouchoi), some who (hoitines) were generated (egennēthēsan) out (ek) of [the] belly (koilias) of [their, AE] mother (mētros) thusly (houtōs);
and (kai) there are (eisin) eunuchs (eunouchoi), some who (hoitines) were made eunuchs (eunouchisthēsan) under (hupo) [authority, AE] of the (tōn) mortals (anthrōpōn);
and (kai) there are (eisin) eunuchs (eunouchoi), some who (hoitines) made eunuchs (eunouchisan) of themselves (heautous), through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (tēn) Kingdom932 (basileian) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn).
The one (ho) being inherently powered (dunamenos) to find room (chōrein) [for the Word of this, v11, RE], find room (chōreitō).”
Mat. 19:13 (LIT/UBS4) Then (tote) young children (paidia) were brought to (prosēnechthēsan) him (autō), in order that (hina) he may put upon (epithē) them (autois) the (tas) hands (cheiras) and (kai) he may cause himself to be well-thankful to4336 (proseuxētai) [God, AE].
But (de) the (hoi) disciples (mathētai) epitomized (epetimēsan) them (autois).
Mat. 19:14 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) enunciated (eipen), "Let go (aphete) of the (ta) young children (paidia) to come (elthein) to (pros) me (me), and (kai) do not cut them off (mē kōluete auta)!
Because (gar) the (hē) Kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn) is (estin) of the (tōn) ones like these (toioutōn)!"
Mat. 19:15 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) having put upon (epitheis) them (autois) the (tas) hands (cheiras), he was caused to go (eporeuthē) from there (ekeithen).
Mat. 19:16 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) behold (idou), one (heis) [disciple, v13, RE] having come to (proselthōn) him (autō) enunciated (eipen), “Teacher (didaskale), what (ti) good thing (agathon) may I do (poiēsō) in order that (hina) I may hold (schō) ageless (aiōnion) life (zōēn)!?”
Mat. 19:17 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [teacher, v16, RE] enunciated (eipen) to him (autō), “Why (ti) do you inquire (erōtas) of me (me) about (peri) the (tou) good thing (agathou)!?
One (heis) [thing, AE] is (estin) the (ho) good thing (agathos).
But (de) if (ei) you desire (theleis) to enter in (eiselthein) into (eis) the (tēn) [ageless, v16, RE] life (zōēn), watchfully keep (tērēson) the (tas) injunctions (entolas)!”
Mat. 19:18 (LIT/UBS4) He says (legei) to him (autō), “Which ones (poias)?”
But (de) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) enunciated (eipen) of the (to) [injunctions, v17, RE], “Absolutely do not murder (ou phoneuseis);
absolutely do not do adultery (ou moicheuseis);
absolutely do not steal (ou klepseis);
absolutely do not falsely witness (ou pseudomarturēseis);
Mat. 19:19 (LIT/UBS4) honor (tima) the (ton) father (patera) and (kai) the (tēn) mother (mētera);
and (kai) love (agapēseis) the (ton) neighborly one (plēsion) of you (sou) as (hōs) yourself (seauton).”
(See Exod. 20:12-16)
Mat. 19:20 (LIT/UBS4) The (ho) young one (neaniskos) says (legei) to him (autō), “I kept watchful guard (ephulaxa) of all (panta) of these things (tauta)!
I lack (husterō) what (ti) yet (eti)!?”
Mat. 19:21 (LIT/UBS4) The (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) shed light5346 (ephē) to him (autō), “If (ei) you desire (theleis) to be (einai) complete (teleios), get underway (hupage);
sell (pōlēson) the (ta) things being under control (huparchonta) of you (sou) and (kai) give (dos) to the (tois) poor (ptōchois), and (kai) you shall have (hexeis) treasure (thēsauron) in (en) [the] heavens (ouranois).
And (kai) secondly (deuro), follow (akolouthei) me (moi)!”
(For
who was to receive the collections, the gracious abundant sharings, like
the collections from the believers in the area of Corinth, see what
Christ Jesus and the apostles taught and preached, Mat. 19:20-21,
26:6-13; Mark 10:20-21, 14:3-9; Luke 4:18-19, *14:12-14, 21-22, 18:22,

Mat. 19:22 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) young one (neaniskos) having heard (akousas) the (ton) Word (logon), he went away (apēlthen) being grieved (lupoumenos) because (gar) he was being (ēn) one holding (echōn) many (polla) acquisitions (ktēmata).
Mat. 19:23 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) enunciated (eipen) to the (tois) disciples (mathētais) of him (autou), “Truly (amēn) I say (legō) to you (humin), that (hoti) [a] wealthy one (plousios) shall cause himself to enter in (eiseleusetai) into (eis) the (tēn) Kingdom932 (basileian) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn) difficultly (duskolōs)!
Mat. 19:24 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) again (palin) I say (legō) to you (humin), is it (estin) easier (eukopōteron) for [a] camel (kamēlon) to come through (dielthein) through (dia) [an] aperture (trupēmatos) of [a] needle (rhaphidos), or (ē) for [a] wealthy one (plousion) to enter in (eiselthein) into (eis) the (tēn) Kingdom932 (basileian) of the (tou) God (theou)!?”
Mat. 19:25 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) having heard (akousantes), the (hoi) disciples (mathētai) were being extremely knocked out1605 (exeplēssonto sphodra), saying (legontes), “So (ara) who (tis) can inherently power himself (dunatai) to be made whole (sōthēnai)!?”
Mat. 19:26 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) he having looked in1689 (emblepsas) [the disciples, v25, RE], the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) enunciated (eipen) to them (autois), “Alongside3844 (para) mortals (anthrōpois) this (touto) [wealthy one, v24, RE] is (estin) [an] inherently unpowered one (adunaton) [to enter in into the Kingdom of the God, v24, RE].
But (de) alongside3844, 3936 (para) God (theō) all (panta) [are] inherently powered ones (dunata).”
(For the way leading into life having been smothered, and for the lawyers having stolen the key of knowledge so that others cannot enter in, and subsequently for believers having to force themselves into the Kingdom of the Heavens, see Mat. 7:13-14, 21, 11:12, 16:19, 18:3-9, 19:17-26; Mark 9:43-48, 10:23-25; Luke 11:52, 13:24, 16:16, 18:16-27; John 3:3-6, 10:1-9; Acts 14:21-22)

Mat. 19:27 (LIT/UBS4) Then (tote) the (ho) Peter (Petros) having been caused to make [a] decision (apokritheis), he enunciated (eipen) to him (autō), “Look (idou), we (hēmeis) have let go (aphēkamen) of everything (panta), and (kai) we followed (ēkolouthēsamen) you (soi)!
So (ara) what (ti) shall cause itself to be (estai) for us (hēmin)?”
Mat. 19:28 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) enunciated (eipen) to them (autois), “Truly (amēn) I say (legō) to you (humin), that (hoti) you (humeis), the ones (hoi) having followed (akolouthēsantes) me (moi), in (en) the (tē) origination again (palingenesia) when perhaps (hotan) the (ho) Son (huios) of the (tou) Mortal (anthrōpou) may sit down (kathisē) upon (epi) [the] throne (thronou) of glory (doxēs) of him (autou), you (humeis) also (kai) shall cause yourselves to sit down (kathēsesthe) upon (epi) twelve (dōdeka) thrones (thronous), you judging (krinontes) the (tas) twelve (dōdeka) tribes (phulas) of the (tou) Israel (Israēl)!
