Matthew 19:12-27 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

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.”

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 Yeshua 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.

16. Behold, one came to him and said, “Good Rabbi, 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?”Yeshua said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’

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

20. The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”

21. Yeshua 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. Yeshua 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 God’s Kingdom.”

25. When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26. Looking at them, Yeshua 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?”
