   🍃🕊️ 03/09 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

13 - Then children were brought to him so he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples scolded the people, 14 but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And he laid his hands on each of them before going on.

     16 Just then, a man came up, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 Jesus said, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who’s good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” he asked. Jesus said, “Don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, don’t bear false witness, 19 honor your father and mother, and, and love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said, “All these I’ve kept. What do I lack?” 21 To which Jesus answered, “If you would be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor. You’ll have treasure in heaven, and come follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he went away sad, for he had great wealth.

     23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I tell you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 I tell you, it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly amazed, and said, “Who then can be saved?” 26 But Jesus said, “With man himself, it’s impossible, but with God nothing is impossible.” 27 Peter then said, “We’ve left everything and have followed you. What treasure will we have?” 28 Jesus said to them, “Truly, I tell you, in the time of the regeneration when the Son of man sits on his throne [thronos - seat, throne] of glory, you will sit on twelve seats [thronos] judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit enduring life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and many  who are last, will be first.
