Matthew:19:16-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
behold ,
one came and said unto him ,
Good Master ,
what good thing shall I do ,
that I may have eternal life ?
*
And he said unto him ,
Why callest thou me good ?
there is none good but one ,
that is ,
God :
but if thou wilt enter into life ,
keep the commandments .
*
He saith unto him ,
Which ?
Jesus said ,
Thou shalt do no murder ,
Thou shalt not commit adultery ,
Thou shalt not steal ,
Thou shalt not bear false witness ,
*
Honour thy father and thy mother :
and ,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself .
*
The young man saith unto him ,
All these things have I kept from my youth up :
what lack I yet ?
*
Jesus said unto him ,
If thou wilt be perfect ,
go and sell that thou hast ,
and give to the poor ,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven :
and come and follow me .
*
But when the young man heard that saying ,
he went away sorrowful :
for he had great possessions .
*
Then said Jesus unto his disciples ,
Verily I say unto you ,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven .
*
And again I say unto you ,
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 .
*
When his disciples heard it ,
they were exceedingly amazed ,
saying ,
Who then can be saved ?
*
But Jesus beheld them ,
and said unto them ,
With men this is impossible ;
but with God all things are possible .
*
Then answered Peter and said unto him ,
Behold ,
we have forsaken all ,
and followed thee ;
what shall we have therefore ?
*
And Jesus said unto them ,
Verily I say unto you ,
That ye which have followed me ,
in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory ,
ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones ,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel .
*
And every one that hath forsaken houses ,
or brethren ,
or sisters ,
or father ,
or mother ,
or wife ,
or children ,
or lands ,
for my name '
s sake ,
shall receive an hundredfold ,
and shall inherit everlasting life .
