Matthew 19:15-27
-
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
-
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
-
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
-
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
-
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
-
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
-
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
-
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
-
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
-
24 And again I say unto 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.
-
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
-
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
-
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
