    16¶ And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

    17And 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.

    18He 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,

    19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

    20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

    21Jesus 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.

    22But 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.

    24And 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.

    25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

    26But 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?

    28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

    30But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

    18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

    19And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

    20Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

    21And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

    22Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

    23And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

    24And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

    25For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

    26And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

    27And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

    28Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

    29And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,

    30Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
