- And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?"
- And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."
- Then he said to Him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS;
- HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER; and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
- The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?"
|
- Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."
- But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.
- And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
- "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."
- When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"
|
- And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
