Matthew 19:23-30 - Possessions And The Kingdom

23 At this, Jesus said to his disciples: "I tell you that a rich man will find it hard to enter the Kingdom of Heaven! 24 I say again, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!"

25 On hearing this, the disciples exclaimed in great astonishment: "Who then can possibly be saved?"

26 But Jesus looked at them, and said: "With men this is impossible, but with God everything is possible." Then Peter turned and said to Jesus:

27 "But we--we left everything, and followed you; what, then, shall we have?"

28 "I tell you," answered Jesus, "that at the New Creation, 'when the Son of Man takes his seat on his throne of glory,' you who followed me shall be seated upon twelve thrones, as judges of the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 Every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, on account of my Name, will receive many times as much, and will 'gain Immortal Life.' 30 But many who are first now will then be last, and those who are last will be first.
