Matthew 19:23-30

23 And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, 1only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 2Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter 3the kingdom of God."
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"
26 But Jesus 4looked at them and said, 5"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
27 Then Peter said in reply, "See, 6we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?"
28 Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world,[a]7when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me 8will also sit on twelve thrones, 9judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 10And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold[b] and will 11inherit eternal life.
30 But 12many who are 13first will be last, and the last first.
