Matthew 19:16-26
16 |
Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?" |
17 |
So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments." |
18 |
He said to Him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, "'You shall not murder,' 'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You shall not steal,' 'You shall not bear false witness,' |
19 |
'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' " |
20 |
The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?" |
21 |
Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." |
22 |
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. |
23 |
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. |
24 |
And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. |
25 |
When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?" |
26 |
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." |
