Matthew 19:7-21 The Message (MSG)

7. They shot back in rebuttal, “If that’s so, why did Moses give instructions for divorce papers and divorce procedures?”

10. Jesus’ disciples objected, “If those are the terms of marriage, we’re stuck. Why get married?”

16. Another day, a man stopped Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”

17. Jesus said, “Why do you question me about what’s good? God is the One who is good. If you want to enter the life of God, just do what he tells you.”

20. The young man said, “I’ve done all that. What’s left?”

21. “If you want to give it all you’ve got,” Jesus replied, “go sell your possessions; give everything to the poor. All your wealth will then be in heaven. Then come follow me.”
