Matthew 19:16-30 - A Rich Young Man
16 And, behold, one having come said to him, Good teacher, what good shall I do, that I might have eternal life?
17 And he said to him, Why sayest thou me good? None is good except one, God; but if thou wouldst come into life, keep the commands.
18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, thus: Thou shalt not murder; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness; 19 Honour thy father and mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 The young man says to him, All these have I watched from my youth; what yet do I want?
21 Jesus said to him, If thou wished to be perfected, retire, sell thy possessions, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
22 And the young man having heard the word, departed, being grieved: for he was holding many possessions.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, That with difficulty shall a rich one come into the kingdom of the heavens. 24 And again I say to you, It is of easier labor for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle, than for a rich one to come into the kingdom of God.
25 And his disciples were greatly struck with amazement, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 And Jesus having looked up said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
27 Then Peter having answered, said to him, Behold, we have let go all things, and have followed thee; what therefore shall be to us?
28 And Jesus said to them, Verily I say to you, That ye having followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man should sit upon the throne of his glory, shall be seated ye also upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one who lets go houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for the sake of my name, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. 30 And many first shall be last, and the last first.
17 And he going in the way, one running and having fallen upon his knees, asked him, Good teacher, What shall I do that I might inherit eternal life
18 And Jesus said to him, Why sayest thou me good? none good, except the one God. 19 Thou knowest the commands: Thou shouldst not commit adultery; Thou shouldst not kill; Thou shouldst not steal; Thou shouldst not bear false testimony; Thou shouldst not defraud; Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he, having answered, said to him, O teacher, all these have I watched from my youth.
21 And Jesus having looked upon him, loved him, and said to him, One thing is wanting to thee retire; whatever thou hast, sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, having taken up the cross. 22 And he, being sad at the word, went away being grieved: for he had many possessions.
23 And Jesus having looked round, said to his disciples, With what difficulty shall they having property enter into the kingdom of God 24 And his disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again having answered, says to them, How difficult, children, is it for those trusting in property to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier labor for a camel to come through the hole of a needle, than for a rich one to come into the kingdom of God.
26 And they were struck with amazement, excessively, saying to themselves, And who can be saved
27 And Jesus having beheld them says, With men impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
28 And Peter began to say to him, Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
29 And Jesus having answered, said, Truly I say to you, There is none who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for sake of me, and the good news, 30 Except he should receive a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mother, and children, and fields, with expulsions; and in the time coming eternal life. 31 And many 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 sayest thou me good? none good except the one God. 20 Thou knowest the commands, Thou shouldest not commit adultery, Thou shouldest not kill, Thou shouldest not steal, Thou shouldest not bear false testimony, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I watched from my youth.
22 And Jesus having heard these, said to him, Yet one thing fails thee: all whatever thou hast, sell and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And he having heard these things, was sorely grieved: for he was very rich.
24 And Jesus having seen him being sorely grieved, said, With how much difficulty shall they having possessions come into the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to come through the hole of a needle, than for a rich one to come into the kingdom of God.
26 And they having heard, said, And who can be saved?
27 And he said, The things impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 And Peter said, Behold, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, That there is none who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for sake of the kingdom of God, 30 Who should not receive many fold in this time, and in life coming, eternal life.
