* »Which Commandments ?« he asked . Jesus answered , wmth @Matthew:19:19 " /> * »All of these ,« said the young man , »I have carefully kept . What do I still lack ?« * »If you desire to be perfect ,« replied Jesus , »go and sell all that you have , and give to the poor , and you shall have wealth in Heaven ; and come , follow me .« * On hearing those words the young man went away much cast down ; for he had much property . * So Jesus said to His disciples , »I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens . * Yes , 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 .« * These words utterly amazed the disciples , and they asked , »Who then can be saved ?« * Jesus looked at them and said , »With men this is impossible , but with God everything is possible .« * Then Peter said to Jesus , »See , have forsaken everything and followed you ; what then will be reward ?« * »I solemnly tell you ,« replied Jesus , »that in the New Creation , when the Son of Man has taken His seat on His glorious throne , all of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel . * And whoever has forsaken houses , or brothers or sisters , or father or mother , or children or lands , for my sake , shall receive many times as much and shall have as his inheritance the Life of the Ages . * »But many who are now first will be last , and many who are now last will be first .«
