But look! a certain man came up to him and asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

"Why do you ask me about what is good?" asked Jesus. "There is but One who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

But when the young man heard this teaching, he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had much property.

"With men this is impossible," he said, "but with God all things are possible."

"But many who are first shall be last, and many who are last shall be first.

"and when the first came they supposed that they would get more, but they also received each two shillings.

My cup you indeed shall drink," he answered, "but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
