Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 19:11-21 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

11. But He said to them, “Not everyone can accept this saying—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 that way by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who can accept this, let him accept it.”

13. Then little children were brought to Yeshua so that He might lay hands upon them and pray. Then the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14. But Yeshua said, “Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

15. After laying His hands upon them, He went on from there.

16. Now behold, one came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good shall I do to have eternal life?”

17. “Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Yeshua said to him. “There is only One who is good; but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

18. “Which ones?” he said. Yeshua said, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,

19. honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’”

20. “All these I’ve kept,” the young man said to Him. “What do I still lack?”

21. Yeshua said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you own, and give to the poor; and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
