21
Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22
At this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
23
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!”
24
This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.
25
In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”
