11
And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
12
for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
13
Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
14
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
15
and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
16
And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal?
17
And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
18
He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19
Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20
The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?
21
Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
