- Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"
- "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."
- "Which ones?" the man inquired. Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,
- honor your father and mother,' and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'"
- "All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?"
|
- And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
- 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.
- 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,
- Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
- The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
|
- Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
- When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
- Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
- Again I tell 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 greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?"
|
- 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.
- But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
- Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
- 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.
- When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
|
- Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
|
- But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
