And a certain one of the manhigim (leaders, one of the wealthier Baale-Battishe Jews) questioned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Mori HaTov (Good Teacher), what mitzvah must I do to inherit Chayyei Olam?
19
And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Why do you call me tov? No one is tov except Hashem alone, nu?
20
You have daas of the Mitzvot. LO TINAF, LO TIRTZACH, LO TIGNOV, LO TAANEH VREIACHAH ED SHAKER, KABEID ES AVICHA VES IMMECHAH. [SHEMOT 20:12-16; DEVARIM 5:16-20]
21
And he said, In all these things I have been shomer mitzvot and frum from my kinder-yoren.
22
And having heard, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Still one thing for you is lacking. Everything as much as you have, sell and distribute to the aniyim, and you will have otzar in Himel; and come follow me.
23
But having heard these things, he fell into agmat nefesh (grief, sadness). For he had much kesef.
24
And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, when he saw him fall into agmat nefesh, said, How difficult it is for the ones having osher (riches) to enter into the Malchut Hashem. [MISHLE 11:28]
25
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for an oisher (rich man) to enter into the Malchut Hashem.
26
But the ones, having heard, said, Then who is able to come to Yeshu’at Eloheinu?
27
And he said, The things impossible with Bnei Adam are possible with Hashem.
28
And Kefa said, Hinei, we have left everything to follow you.
29
And he said to them, Omein, I say to you, that there is no one who left bais or isha or achim or horim (parents) or yeladim because of the Malchut Hashem,

Who will not receive many times as much in this zman (time) and in the Olam HaBah, Chayyei Olam.
