18

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

19

And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] God.

20

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.

21

And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.

22

And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

23

But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful for he was very rich.

24

And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

25

For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26

And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?

27

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

28

And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.

29

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

30

who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.
