Okugattululwa
119:1 Mat 7:28Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebigambo ebyo n’ava e Ggaliraaya n’ajja mu bitundu bya Buyudaaya okusukka emitala wa Yoludaani. 219:2 Mat 4:23Ekibiina kinene ne bamugoberera era n’awonya abalwadde baabwe.
319:3 Mat 5:31Abafalisaayo ne bajja gy’ali bamugezese nga bagamba nti, “Kikkirizibwa omusajja okugoba mukazi we olw’ensonga n’emu?”
419:4 Lub 1:27; 5:2Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Temusomanga nti, ‘Okuva ku lubereberye Katonda yatonda omusajja n’omukazi,’ 519:5 Lub 2:24; 1Ko 6:16; Bef 5:31era nti, ‘Omusajja anaalekanga kitaawe ne nnyina, ne yeegatta ne mukazi we. Nabo banaabanga omuntu omu, 6nga tebakyali babiri naye omuntu omu.’ Noolwekyo Katonda be yagatta awamu, omuntu tabaawukanyanga.”
719:7 Ma 24:1-4; Mat 5:31Ne bamubuuza nti, “Kale lwaki Musa yalagira nti omusajja bw’abanga agoba mukazi we amuwenga ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba?”
8Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Olw’obukakanyavu bw’emitima gyammwe, Musa kyeyava abakkiriza okugoba bakazi bammwe, naye nga okuva olubereberye tekyali bwe kityo. 919:9 Mat 5:32; Luk 16:18Era mbagamba nti omuntu yenna anaagobanga mukazi we okuggyako olw’obwenzi, n’amala awasa omulala, anaabanga ayenze, n’oyo anaawasanga oyo agobeddwa anaabanga ayenze.”
10Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Obanga bwe biri bwe bityo, ekisingako obulungi bwe butawasiza ddala!”
1119:11 Mat 13:11; 1Ko 7:7-9, 17Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Abantu bonna tebayinza kutegeera kigambo kino okuggyako abo Katonda b’akiwa. 12Kubanga abamu bazaalibwa nga tebasobola kuwasa abalala balaayibwa bantu bannaabwe ate abalala bagaana okuwasa ne beewaayo okukola omulimu ogw’obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu. Buli asobola okutegeera kino akitegeere.”
Yesu n’Abaana
1319:13 Mak 5:23Yesu ne bamuleetera abaana abato abasseeko emikono gye abawe n’omukisa. Naye abayigirizwa ne bajunga abaabaleeta.
1419:14 a Mat 25:34 b Mat 18:3; 1Pe 2:2Naye Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Mukkirize abaana abato bajje gye ndi so temubaziyiza, kubanga abafaanana ng’abo be bannannyini bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.” 15N’abassaako emikono n’abawa omukisa n’alyoka avaayo.
Omuvubuka Omugagga
1619:16 a Mat 25:46 b Luk 10:25Awo omuntu omu n’amusemberera n’amubuuza nti, “Omuyigiriza, nkole ki ekirungi okufuna obulamu obutaggwaawo?”
1719:17 Lv 18:5Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Lwaki ombuuza ebikwata ku birungi? Omulungi ali omu, naye bw’obanga oyagala okuyingira mu bulamu, ggondera amateeka.”
1819:18 Yak 2:11N’amuddamu nti, “Ge galuwa?”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “ ‘Tottanga, toyendanga, tobbanga, towaayirizanga, 1919:19 a Kuv 20:12-16; Ma 5:16-20 b Lv 19:18; Mat 5:43ossangamu ekitiibwa kitaawo ne nnyoko era yagalanga muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka.’ ”
20Omuvubuka oyo n’amuddamu nti, “Ebyo byonna nabikwata dda, ate kiki ekimpeebuuseeko?”
2119:21 a Mat 5:48 b Luk 12:33; Bik 2:45; 4:34-35 c Mat 6:20Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Obanga oyagala okuba omutuukirivu genda otunde ebibyo, ensimbi ozigabire abaavu, kale oliba n’obugagga mu ggulu, olyoke ojje ongoberere.”
22Naye omuvubuka bwe yawulira ebyo n’agenda ng’anakuwadde kubanga yali mugagga.
2319:23 Mat 13:22; 1Ti 6:9, 10Awo Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, kizibu omugagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu. 24Era mbategeeza nti kyangu eŋŋamira okuyita mu nnyindo y’empiso, okusinga omugagga okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda!”
25Ebigambo ebyo abayigirizwa be ne bibeewuunyisa nnyo, n’okugamba ne bagamba nti, “Kale ani ayinza okulokolebwa?”
2619:26 Lub 18:14; Yob 42:2; Yer 32:17; Zek 8:6; Luk 1:37; 18:27; Bar 4:21Yesu n’abatunuulira enkaliriza n’abagamba nti, “Eri abantu tekiyinzika. Naye Katonda, ayinza byonna.”
2719:27 Mat 4:19Awo Peetero n’abuuza Yesu nti, “Ffe twaleka byonna ne tukugoberera. Kale ffe tulifuna ki?”
2819:28 a Mat 20:21; 25:31 b Luk 22:28-30; Kub 3:21; 4:4; 20:4Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Omwana w’Omuntu bw’alituula ku ntebe ye ey’ekitiibwa mu nsi empya, nammwe abangoberera mulituula ku ntebe ekkumi n’ebbiri nga mulamula ebika bya Isirayiri ekkumi n’ebibiri. 2919:29 Mat 6:33; 25:46Na buli muntu yenna eyaleka ennyumba, oba baganda be, oba bannyina, oba kitaawe oba nnyina, oba baana be, oba ttaka lye olw’erinnya lyange aliweebwa okwenkana emirundi kikumi, era alisikira obulamu obutaggwaawo. 3019:30 Mat 20:16; Mak 10:31; Luk 13:30Bangi aboolubereberye, abaliba abooluvannyuma, n’ab’oluvannyuma ne baba aboolubereberye.”
Divorce
1When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”
4“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’19:4 Gen. 1:27 5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’19:5 Gen. 2:24? 6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”
8Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
11Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
The Little Children and Jesus
13Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.
14Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
The Rich and the Kingdom of God
16Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
17“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18“Which ones?” he inquired.
Jesus replied, “ ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19honor your father and mother,’19:19 Exodus 20:12-16; Deut. 5:16-20 and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’19:19 Lev. 19:18”
20“All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
21Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”
28Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife19:29 Some manuscripts do not have or wife. or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
