Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when he was gone forth into the way ,
there came one running ,
and kneeled to him ,
and asked him ,
Good Master ,
what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life ?
*
And Jesus said unto him ,
Why callest thou me good ?
there is none good but one ,
that is ,
God .
*
Thou knowest the commandments ,
Do not commit adultery ,
Do not kill ,
Do not steal ,
Do not bear false witness ,
Defraud not ,
Honour thy father and mother .
*
And he answered and said unto him ,
Master ,
all these have I observed from my youth .
*
Then Jesus beholding him loved him ,
and said unto him ,
One thing thou lackest :
go thy way ,
sell whatsoever thou hast ,
and give to the poor ,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven :
and come ,
take up the cross ,
and follow me .
*
And he was sad at that saying ,
and went away grieved :
for he had great possessions .
*
And Jesus looked round about ,
and saith unto his disciples ,
How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God !
*
And the disciples were astonished at his words .
But Jesus answereth again ,
and saith unto them ,
Children ,
how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into 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 into the kingdom of God .
*
And they were astonished out of measure ,
saying among themselves ,
Who then can be saved ?
*
And Jesus looking upon them saith ,
With men it is impossible ,
but not with God :
for with God all things are possible .
*
Then Peter began to say unto him ,
Lo ,
we have left all ,
and have followed thee .
*
And Jesus answered and said ,
Verily I say unto you ,
There is no man that hath left house ,
or brethren ,
or sisters ,
or father ,
or mother ,
or wife ,
or children ,
or lands ,
for my sake ,
and the gospel '
s ,
*
But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time ,
houses ,
and brethren ,
and sisters ,
and mothers ,
and children ,
and lands ,
with persecutions ;
and in the world to come eternal life .
*
But many that are first shall be last ;
and the last first .
