New Testament

Luke 18:15-30 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. And they also brought infants to Him to touch them, but His taught ones seeing it, rebuked them.

16. But יהושע called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the reign of Elohim.

17. “Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the reign of Elohim as a little child, shall certainly not enter into it.”

18. And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life?”

19. So יהושע said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim.

20. “You know the commands, ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Respect your father and your mother.’ ”

21. And he said, “All these I have watched over from my youth.”

22. And hearing this, יהושע said to him, “Yet one you lack: Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.”

23. But when he heard this, he became intensely sad, for he was extremely rich.

24. And when יהושע saw that he became intensely sad, He said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the reign of Elohim!

25. “For it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the reign of Elohim.”

26. And those who heard it said, “And who is able to be saved?”

27. And He said, “What is impossible with men is possible with Elohim.”

28. And Kĕpha said, “See, we have left all and followed You.”

29. And He said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the reign of Elohim,

30. who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come everlasting life.”
