A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek: Humbly Attempted with a View to Assist the Unlearned with Clearer and More Explicit Views of the Mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures of Truth
Haweis, Thomas
Bible. New Testament
(17)And as he went out to the road, a person ran to him, and kneeling
down, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit
eternal life? (18)Then said Jesus unto him, Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one, even God. (19)Thou knowest the
commandments, Do not commit adultery; Do not murder; Do not steal; Do
not bear false witness; Honour thy father and mother. (20)Then he
replying, said, Master, all these things have I observed from my youth.
(21)Then Jesus looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one
thing thou art defective: go, sell all that thou hast, and give to the
poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up thy
cross, and follow me. (22)And groaning over this speech, he went away
sorrowful: for he had many estates. (23)And Jesus looking round, said
to his disciples, How difficultly shall they who have riches enter into
the kingdom of God! (24)Then his disciples were astonished at these
words. But Jesus again addressing them, said unto them, Children, how
difficult is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom
of God! (25)It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a
needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (26)And
they were exceedingly amazed, saying among themselves, Who then can be
saved? (27)And Jesus looking upon them, said, With men it is
impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
(28)And Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed
thee. (29)Then Jesus in reply said, Verily I say unto you, there is no
man who hath left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother,
or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake and the Gospel's, (30)who
shall not receive an hundred-fold more now, at this very time, houses,
and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with
persecution, and in the world to come life everlasting. (31)But many
first, will be last; and the last, first.
(32)And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was
advancing before them: and they were astonished; and followed him full
of fear. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what
things were about to befall him: (33)For, lo! said he, we are going up
to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests,
and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will
deliver him to the Gentiles: (34)and they will insult him, and scourge
him, and spit upon him, and kill him: and the third day he shall rise
again.
