Matthew 19:16-30 - A Rich Young Man
16 Behold, one coming to Him said, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do, in order that I may have eternal life?
17 And He said to him, Why do you ask me concerning the good One? One is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He says to Him, What? And Jesus said to him, Thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt hot steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 honor the father and the mother, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 The young man says to Him, All these have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said to him, If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22 And the young man hearing the word, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say unto you, that a rich man will hardly enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 24 And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God.
25 And the disciples hearing, were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then is able to be saved?
26 And Jesus looking on them said; With men this is impossible; but all things are possible with God.
27 Then Peter responding said to Him, Behold, we have left all things, and followed Thee; what then shall be to us?
28 And Jesus said to them, Truly I say unto you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man may sit upon the throne of His glory, you shall also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, on account of my name, shall receive a hundred-fold, and inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first shall be last, and the last first.
17 And He traveling along the road, one having run to Him and worshiping Him, asked Him, Good Teacher, what shall I do in order that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good but One, God. 19 You know the commandments, thou must not commit adultery, thou must not murder, thou must not steal, thou must not bear false witness, thou must not defraud, honor thy father and mother.
20 And he said to Him, Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth.
21 Jesus looking on him loved him, and said to him, One thing is wanting to thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 22 And he being grieved at the word, went away sorrowing: for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looking around, says to His disciples; How hardly shall those having riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at His words, and Jesus again responding, says to them, Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God.
26 And they were astonished exceedingly, saying to one another, And who is able to be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
28 Peter began to say to Him, Behold, we have left all things, and followed thee.
29 Jesus said, Truly I say unto you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, on account of me and the gospel, 30 except he may receive a hundredfold now in this time, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the coming age eternal life. 31 But many who are first shall be last; and the last first.
18 And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good, except One, God. 20 You know the commandments, thou must not commit adultery, thou must not murder, thou must not steal, thou must not bear false witness, honor thy father and mother.
21 And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth.
22 And Jesus hearing these things, said to him, Still one thing is lacking to thee: Sell all things whatsoever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And hearing these things, he went away very sorrowful; for he was exceedingly rich.
24 Jesus seeing him said, How hardly will those having riches enter into the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God.
26 And those hearing said, And who is able to be saved?
27 And He said, Those things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things, and followed thee.
29 And He said to them, Truly I say unto you, that there is no one who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who may not receive a hundredfold in this time, and in the coming age eternal life.
