Matthew 19:16-26

The Rich Young Man

16 i And behold, a man came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do to j have k eternal life?" 17 And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. l If you would enter life, keep the commandments" 18 He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, m "You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, n You shall love your neighbor as yourself" 20 The young man said to him, o "All these I have kept. What do I still lack?" 21 Jesus said to him, "If you would be p perfect, go, q sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have r treasure in heaven; and come, follow me" 22 s When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23 And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, t only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 u Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter v the kingdom of God" 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?" 26 But Jesus w looked at them and said, x "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible"
