Kingdom of heaven » Rich people cannot enter
So Jesus said to his disciples. "In solemn truth I tell you that a rich man will find it difficult to enter the kingdom of heaven. "I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
Then Jesus looked round on his disciples and said, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus looked around and said again to them. "My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
Jesus looked at him and said: "How hard it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God! Why, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
And he said to them, "In Solemn truth I tell you that there is no one who, for the sake of the kingdom of God, has left houses, or wife, or brother, or parents, or children, "who shall not certainly receive many times as much in this time, and in the age to come eternal."
