Luke [White-light] 18:20-43

²⁰You know the mitzvot ·instructions·: ‘Don’t moicheuo ·commit adultery·,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”

²¹He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”

²²When Yeshua Salvation heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.”

²³But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.

²⁴Yeshua Salvation, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

²⁵For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”

²⁶Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”

²⁷But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

²⁸Peter Rock said, “Look, we have left everything, and followed you.”

²⁹He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,

³⁰who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”

³¹He took the twelve aside, and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem City of peace, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

³²For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

³³They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”

³⁴They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.

³⁵As he came near Jericho Fragrant, Moon, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

³⁶Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

³⁷They told him that Yeshua Salvation of Nazareth Branch, Separated one was passing by.

³⁸He cried out, “Yeshua Salvation, you son of David Beloved, have mercy on me!”

³⁹Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David Beloved, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰Standing still, Yeshua Salvation commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,

⁴¹“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”

⁴²Yeshua Salvation said to him, “Receive your sight. Your trusting faith has healed you.”

⁴³Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
