Matthew 19:14-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. But יהושע said, “Allow the young children and do not stop them from coming to Me, for of such is the reign of the heavens.”

15. And having laid hands on them He went from there.

16. And see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good shall I do to have everlasting life?”

17. And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the commands.”

18. He said to Him, “Which?” And יהושע said, “ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’

19. ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ ”

20. The young man said to Him, “All these I have watched over from my youth, what do I still lack?”

21. יהושע said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.”
