13 Then children were brought to Him in order that He might lay His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them[a]. 14 But Jesus said, “Permit[b] the children, and do not be forbidding them to come to Me.

16 And behold— one having come to Him said, “Teacher, what good thing should I do in order that I may have eternal life?” 17 And the One said to him, “Why do you ask Me about what is good? There is One Who is good. But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments”. 18 He says to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder. You shall not commit-adultery.

And, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself ”. 20 The young man says to Him, “I kept all these things. What am I still lacking?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect[d], go, sell your possessions and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens.

But with God, all things are possible”. 27 Then Peter, having responded, said to Him, “Behold— we left everything and followed You. What then will there be for us?” 28 And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that you, the ones having followed Me— at the regeneration[g] when the Son of Man sits on the throne[h] of His glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging[i] the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundred-fold[j], and will inherit eternal life.
