The rich young man
Matthew 19:16-30
16And look, one man came to him and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do so that I may have eternal life?” 17And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18He says to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “ ‘You shall not murder; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; 19honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ” 20The young man says to him, “All these things I have kept; what do I still lack?” 21Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give them to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22But when the young man heard the word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions. 23And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you that a rich man will enter into the kingdom of heaven with difficulty. 24And again I tell you, 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.” 25And when the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 27Then Peter answered and said to him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you; what then will there be for us?” 28And Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the renewal, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
17And as he was going out on the way, a man ran up and knelt before him and was asking him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’” 20And he said to him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” 21And Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22But he, dismayed at the word, went away grieving, for he had many possessions. 23And Jesus, looking around, says to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!” 24And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answers again and says to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter into the kingdom of God! 25It 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.” 26And they were exceedingly astonished, saying to one another, “Then who can be saved?” 27Looking at them, Jesus says, “With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.” 28Peter began to say to him, “Look, we have left everything and have followed you.” 29Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for the sake of me and for the sake of the good news 30who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 19And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 20You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’” 21And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.” 22And hearing this, Jesus said to him, “One thing is still lacking for you: sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 23But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. 24And Jesus, seeing him, said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God! 25For 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.” 26And those who heard said, “Then who can be saved?” 27But he said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.” 28And Peter said, “Look, we left what was ours and followed you.” 29And he said to them, “Truly I tell you that there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30who will not receive back many times as much in this time, and in the age to come, eternal life.”
27Then Peter answered and said to him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you; what then will there be for us?”
