Matthew 19:16-30 - A Rich Young Man
16 And behold one man having come to him, said, Good teacher, what good thing should I do so that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said to him, Why do thou call me good? There is none good except one, God. But if thou want to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not testify falsely. 19 Honor the father and mother, and, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 The young man says to him, All these things I have kept from my youthfulness. What do I lack yet?
21 Jesus said to him, If thou want to be perfect, go, sell the things being possessed by thee, and give to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
22 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, that a rich man will enter into the kingdom of the heavens difficultly. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 And when his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 And having looked, Jesus said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
27 Then having answered, Peter said to him, Lo, we have forsaken all, and followed thee. What then will be for us?
28 And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man will sit on the throne of his glory, ye also will sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every man who has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of my name, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many first will be last, and last, first.
17 And as he was going forth on the way, one man having ran to him, and having knelt to him, questioned him, Good teacher, what should I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God. 19 Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not testify falsely. Thou shall not defraud. Thou shall honor thy father and mother.
20 And having answered, he said to him, Teacher, all these things I have observed from my youth.
21 And having looked at him, Jesus loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lack. Go thou, sell as many things as thou have, and give to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And after taking up the cross, come, follow me 22 But having become somber at the saying, he went away sorrowing, for he was a man who has many possessions.
23 And Jesus having looked around, he says to his disciples, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God. 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But again having answered, Jesus says to them, Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God. 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they were exceedingly astonished, saying among themselves, Then who can be saved?
27 And having looked at them, Jesus says, With men, impossible, but not with God. For with God all things are possible.
28 Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29 And having answered, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of me, and because of the good-news, 30 but he will receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands--with persecutions--and in the coming age, eternal life. 31 But many first will be last, and the last first.
18 And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God. 20 Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not give FALSE testimony. Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth.
22 And when he heard these things, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing is lacking from thee. Sell all things, as many as thou have, and distribute to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God. 25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 And he said, The things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 And Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed thee.
29 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will, no, not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age eternal life.
