L'enseignement de Jésus sur le divorce
1 It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?"4 He answered, "Haven't you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,5 and said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?'6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart."7 They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?"8 He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery."10 His disciples said to him, "If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."11 But he said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.12 For there are eunuchs who were born 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 Kingdom of Heaven's sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."Jésus bénit des enfants
13 Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.14 But Jesus said, "Allow the little children, and don't forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these."15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.Le jeune homme riche
16 Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"17 He said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."18 He said to him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, "'You shall not murder.' 'You shall not commit adultery.' 'You shall not steal.' 'You shall not offer false testimony.'19 'Honor your father and mother.' And, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"20 The young man said to him, "All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?"21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."22 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.23 Jesus said to his disciples, "Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"26 Looking at them, Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."27 Then Peter answered, "Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?"28 Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.30 But many will be last who are first; and first who are last. -
L'enseignement de Jésus sur le divorce
1 Quand Jésus eut achevé ces instructions, il quitta la Galilée et se rendit dans la partie de la Judée qui se trouve de l’autre côté de la rivière, le Jourdain.2 Une foule de gens l’y suivirent et il guérit leurs malades.3 Quelques Pharisiens s’approchèrent de lui pour lui tendre un piège. Ils lui demandèrent : « Notre loi permet-elle à un homme de renvoyer sa femme pour n’importe quelle raison ? »4 Jésus répondit : « N’avez-vous pas lu ce que déclare l’Écriture ? “Au commencement, le Créateur les fit homme et femme”,5 puis il dit : C’est pourquoi, l’homme quittera son père et sa mère pour s’attacher à sa femme, et les deux deviendront un seul être.6 Ainsi, ils ne sont plus deux mais un seul être. Que l’homme ne sépare donc pas ce que Dieu a uni. »7 Les Pharisiens lui demandèrent : « Pourquoi donc Moïse a-t-il commandé à l’homme de donner une attestation de divorce à sa femme quand il la renvoie ? »8 Jésus répondit : « Moïse vous a permis de renvoyer vos femmes parce que vous avez le cœur dur. Mais au commencement, il n’en était pas ainsi.9 Je vous le déclare : si un homme renvoie sa femme, alors qu’elle n’a pas été infidèle, et en épouse une autre, il commet un adultère. »10 Ses disciples lui dirent : « Si telle est la condition de l’homme par rapport à sa femme, il vaut mieux ne pas se marier. »11 Jésus leur répondit : « Tous les hommes ne sont pas capables d’accepter cet enseignement, mais seulement ceux à qui Dieu en donne les moyens.12 Il y a différentes raisons qui empêchent les hommes de se marier : pour certains, c’est une impossibilité dès leur naissance ; d’autres, les eunuques, en ont été rendus incapables par les hommes ; d’autres enfin renoncent à se marier à cause du Royaume des cieux. Que celui qui peut accepter cet enseignement l’accepte ! »Jésus bénit des enfants
13 Des gens amenèrent des enfants à Jésus pour qu’il pose les mains sur eux et prie pour eux, mais les disciples leur firent des reproches.14 Jésus dit alors : « Laissez les enfants venir à moi et ne les en empêchez pas, car le Royaume des cieux appartient à ceux qui sont comme eux. »15 Il posa les mains sur eux, puis partit de là.Le jeune homme riche
16 Un homme s’approcha de Jésus et lui demanda : « Maître, que dois-je faire de bon pour avoir la vie éternelle ? »17 Jésus lui dit : « Pourquoi m’interroges-tu au sujet de ce qui est bon ? Un seul est bon. Si tu veux entrer dans la vie, obéis aux commandements. » –18 « Auxquels ? » demanda-t-il. Jésus répondit : « Ne commets pas de meurtre ; ne commets pas d’adultère ; ne vole pas ; ne prononce pas de faux témoignage contre quelqu’un ;19 respecte ton père et ta mère ; aime ton prochain comme toi-même. »20 Le jeune homme lui dit : « J’ai obéi à tous ces commandements. Que dois-je faire encore ? » –21 « Si tu veux être parfait, lui dit Jésus, va vendre tout ce que tu possèdes et donne l’argent aux pauvres, alors tu auras des richesses dans les cieux ; puis viens et suis-moi. »22 Mais quand le jeune homme entendit cela, il s’en alla tout triste, parce qu’il avait de grands biens.23 Jésus dit alors à ses disciples : « Je vous le déclare, c’est la vérité : il est difficile à un homme riche d’entrer dans le Royaume des cieux.24 Et je vous déclare encore ceci : il est difficile à un chameau de passer par le trou d’une aiguille, mais il est encore plus difficile à un riche d’entrer dans le Royaume de Dieu. »25 Quand les disciples entendirent ces mots, ils furent très étonnés et dirent : « Mais qui donc peut être sauvé ? »26 Jésus les regarda et leur dit : « C’est impossible aux hommes, mais tout est possible à Dieu. »27 Alors Pierre prit la parole : « Écoute, lui dit-il, nous avons tout quitté pour te suivre. Que se passera-t-il pour nous ? »28 Jésus leur dit : « Je vous le déclare, c’est la vérité : quand le Fils de l’homme siégera sur son trône glorieux dans le monde nouveau, vous, les douze qui m’avez suivi, vous siégerez également sur des trônes pour juger les douze tribus d’Israël.29 Et tous ceux qui auront quitté pour moi leurs maisons, ou leurs frères, leurs sœurs, leur père, leur mère, leurs enfants, leurs champs, recevront cent fois plus et auront part à la vie éternelle.30 Mais beaucoup qui sont maintenant les premiers seront les derniers et beaucoup qui sont maintenant les derniers seront les premiers. » -

Mais dans son ignorance de la spiritualité et de la sainteté de la loi, il l'interprétait d'une manière toute littérale et extérieure. Dans ce sens, il pouvait avoir raison, et sa parole prouve qu'il s'était sérieusement appliqué à mener une vie morale. Et pourtant il lui reste un vague sentiment qu'il lui manque encore quelque chose, ce qui était déjà impliqué dans sa première question. (verset 16)
