Now behold ,
one came and said to Him , "
Good Teacher ,
what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life ?"
*
So He said to him , "
Why do you call Me good ?
No one is good but One ,
that is ,
God .
But if you want to enter into life ,
keep the commandments ."
*
He said to Him , "
Which ones ?"
Jesus said , ""
You shall not murder ,' "
You shall not commit adultery ,' "
You shall not steal ,' "
You shall not bear false witness ,'
* "
Honor your father and your mother ,'
and , "
You shall love your neighbor as yourself ."'
*
The young man said to Him , "
All these things I have kept from my youth .
What do I still lack ?"
*
Jesus said to him , "
If you want to be perfect ,
go ,
sell what you have and give to the poor ,
and you will have treasure in heaven ;
and come ,
follow Me ."
*
But when the young man heard that saying ,
he went away sorrowful ,
for he had great possessions .
*
Then Jesus said to His disciples , "
Assuredly ,
I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven .
*
And again I say to 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 His disciples heard it ,
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 answered and said to Him , "
See ,
we have left all and followed You .
Therefore what shall we have ?"
*
So Jesus said to them , "
Assuredly I say to you ,
that in the regeneration ,
when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory ,
you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones ,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel .
*
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands ,
for My name '
s sake ,
shall receive a hundredfold ,
and inherit eternal life .
*
But many who are first will be last ,
and the last first .
