* And behold , one came up to him , saying , "Teacher , what good deed must I do , to have eternal life ?" * And he said to him , "Why do you ask me about what is good ? One there is who is good . If you would enter life , keep the commandments ." * He said to him , "Which ?" And Jesus said , "You shall not kill , You shall not commit adultery , You shall not steal , You shall not bear false witness , * Honor your father and mother , and , You shall love your neighbor as yourself ." * The young man said to him , "All these I have observed ; what do I still lack ?" * Jesus said to him , "If you would be perfect , go , sell what you possess and give to the poor , and you will have treasure in heaven ; and come , follow me ." * When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful ; for he had great possessions . * And Jesus said to his disciples , "Truly , I say to you , it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven . * Again I tell you , 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 ." * When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished , saying , "Who then can be saved ?" * But Jesus looked at them and said to them , "With men this is impossible , but with God all things are possible ." * Then Peter said in reply , "Lo , we have left everything and followed you . What then shall we have ?" * Jesus said to them , "Truly , I say to you , in the new world , when the Son of man shall sit on his glorious throne , you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones , judging the twelve tribes of Israel . * And every one who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands , for my name 's sake , will receive a hundredfold , and inherit eternal life . * But many that are first will be last , and the last first .
