Thou knowest the commandments: `Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, defraud not, honor thy father and mother.'"
20
And he answered and said unto Him, "Master, all these have I observed from my youth."
21
Then Jesus, beholding him, loved him and said unto him, "One thing thou lackest: Go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me."

And Jesus looked round about and said unto His disciples, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!"
24
And the disciples were astonished at His words, but Jesus answered again and said unto them, "Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!
25

26

27
And Jesus, looking upon them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."

Then Peter began to say unto Him, "Lo, we have left all and have followed Thee."
