Matthew 19:16-30

16 A man approached Yeshua and said, "Rabbi, what good thing should I do in order to have eternal life?" He said to him,
17 "Why are you asking me about good? There is One who is good! But if you want to obtain eternal life, observe the mitzvot."
18 The man asked him, "Which ones?" and Yeshua said, "Don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't give false testimony
19 honor father and mother and love your neighbor as yourself."
20 The young man said to him, "I have kept all these; where do I still fall short?"
21 Yeshua said to him, "If you are serious about reaching the goal, go and sell your possessions, give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me!"
22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was wealthy.
23 Then Yeshua said to his talmidim, "Yes. I tell you that it will be very hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
24 Furthermore, I tell you that it is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
25 When the talmidim heard this they were utterly amazed. "Then who," they asked, "can be saved?"
26 Yeshua looked at them and said, "Humanly, this is impossible; but with God everything is possible."
27 Kefa replied, "Look, we have left everything and followed you. So what will we have?"
28 Yeshua said to them, "Yes. I tell you that in the regenerated world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Isra'el.
29 Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times more, and he will obtain eternal life.
30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
