Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Matthew 19
¹¹ But He said to them, "Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been 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 also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."
¹³ Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
¹⁴ But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
¹⁵ After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.
¹⁶ And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?"
¹⁷ And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."
¹⁸ Then he *said to Him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS;
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 kept; what am I still lacking?"
²¹ Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."
