Matthew 19:23

A Rich Young Man

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.

Truly I Say to You

I Tell You the Truth

Jesus Said

Kingdom of Heaven

Truly I Tell You

Verily I Say Unto You
