New Testament

Matthew 19:14-19 Common English Bible (CEB)

14. "Allow the children to come to me," Jesus said. "Don’t forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children."

15. Then he blessed the children and went away from there.

16. A man approached him and said, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?"

17. Jesus said, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There’s only one who is good. If you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments."

18. The man said, "Which ones?" Then Jesus said, "Don’t commit murder. Don’t commit adultery. Don’t steal. Don’t give false testimony.

19. Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as you love yourself."
