19:14. But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid
them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
19:15. And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from
thence.
19:16. And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good
shall I do that I may have life everlasting?
19:17. Who said to him: Why askest thou me concerning good? One is
good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
19:18. He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false witness.

neighbor as thyself.
19:20. The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my youth,
what is yet wanting to me?

hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and
come, follow me.

for he had great possessions.
19:23. Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a
rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
19:24. And again I say to you: 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
heaven.
19:25. And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered much,
saying: Who then can be saved?

things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?

followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the
seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
19:29. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake,
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.
19:30. And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be
first.
Matthew Chapter 20
The parable of the labourers in the vineyard. The ambition of the two
sons of Zebedee. Christ gives sight to two blind men.
20:1. The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out
early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
20:2. And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent
them into his vineyard.
20:3. And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the
marketplace idle.
20:4. And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will
give you what shall be just.
20:5. And they went their way. And again he went out about the sixth
and the ninth hour, and did in like manner.
