* Now as He was going out on the road , one came running , knelt before Him , and asked Him , "Good Teacher , what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life ?" * So Jesus said to him , "Why do you call Me good ? No one is good but One , that is , God . * You know the commandments : "Do not commit adultery ,' "Do not murder ,' "Do not steal ,' "Do not bear false witness ,' "Do not defraud ,' "Honor your father and your mother ."' * And he answered and said to Him , "Teacher , all these things I have kept from my youth ." * Then Jesus , looking at him , loved him , and said to him , "One thing you lack : Go your way , sell whatever you have and give to the poor , and you will have treasure in heaven ; and come , take up the cross , and follow Me ." * But he was sad at this word , and went away sorrowful , for he had great possessions . * Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples , "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God !" * And the disciples were astonished at His words . But Jesus answered again and said to them , "Children , how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God ! * It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God ." * And they were greatly astonished , saying among themselves , "Who then can be saved ?" * But Jesus looked at them and said , "With men it is impossible , but not with God ; for with God all things are possible ." * Then Peter began to say to Him , "See , we have left all and followed You ." * So Jesus answered and said , "Assuredly , I say to you , there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands , for My sake and the gospel 's , * who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands , with persecutions--and in the age to come , eternal life . * But many who are first will be last , and the last first ."
