Matthew 19:23-30 - Possessions And The Kingdom

23 then said Jesus to his disciples, I declare unto you, it will be difficult for a rich man to enter into the gospel kingdom. 24 I tell you again, it is easier for a cable to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the divine kingdom.

25 when his disciples heard this, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, who then can be saved?

26 but Jesus looking at them, said, however impracticable this is to men, all things are possible to God.

27 Then said Peter, but we, who have left every thing to follow thee; what advantage shall we get by it?

28 Jesus reply'd, I declare unto you, that in the new age, when the son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye that have followed me shall likewise sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 and every one that abandons his family, his brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my sake, shall receive in that age an hundred times the value, and shall inherit hereafter everlasting life. 30 but many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
