18
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19
And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is] God.
20
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.
21
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth.
22
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly will they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26
And they that heard [it], said, Who then can be saved?
27
Then he said, The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
