16

And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?

17

And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.

18

He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,

19

Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

20

The young man says to him, All these things have I done: what more is there?

21

Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

22

But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.

23

And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

24

And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

25

And the disciples, hearing this, were greatly surprised, saying, Who then may have salvation?

26

And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible but with God all things are possible.

27

Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you what then will we have?

28

And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29

And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.

30

But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first.
