Luke:18:18-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And a ruler asked him , "
Good Teacher ,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life ?"
*
And Jesus said to him , "
Why do you call me good ?
No one is good but God alone .
*
You know the commandments : `
Do not commit adultery ,
Do not kill ,
Do not steal ,
Do not bear false witness ,
Honor your father and mother .'"
*
And he said , "
All these I have observed from my youth ."
*
And when Jesus heard it ,
he said to him , "
One thing you still lack .
Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor ,
and you will have treasure in heaven ;
and come ,
follow me ."
*
But when he heard this he became sad ,
for he was very rich .
*
Jesus looking at him said , "
How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God !
*
For 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 ."
*
Those who heard it said , "
Then who can be saved ?"
*
But he said , "
What is impossible with men is possible with God ."
*
And Peter said , "
Lo ,
we have left our homes and followed you ."
*
And he said to them , "
Truly ,
I say to you ,
there is no man who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children ,
for the sake of the kingdom of God ,
*
who will not receive manifold more in this time ,
and in the age to come eternal life ."
