CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And at His going out into the road, lo! one certain rich man, running toward Him and falling on his knees before Him, inquired of Him, "Good Teacher! What shall I be doing that I should be enjoying the allotment of life eonian? ¹⁸ Now Jesus said to him, "Why are you terming Me good? No one is good except One, God." ¹⁹ With the precepts you are acquainted: You should not be murdering. You should not be committing adultery. You should not be stealing. You should not be testifying falsely. You should not be cheating. 'Be honoring your father and mother.'" ²⁰ Now he averred to Him, "Teacher, all these I maintain from my youth." ²¹ Now Jesus, looking at him, loves him, and said to him, "Still one thing you are wanting. Go. Whatever you have, sell, and be giving to the poor, and you will be having treasure in heaven. And hither! Follow Me, picking up the cross." ²² Yet he, being somber at the word, came away sorrowing, for he was one who has many acquisitions." ²³ And, looking about, Jesus is saying to His disciples, "How squeamishly shall those who have money be entering into the kingdom of God!" ²⁴ Now the disciples were awe-struck at His words. Yet Jesus, again answering, is saying to them, "Children, how squeamish it is for those who have confidence in money to be entering into the kingdom of God!" ²⁵ Easier is it for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to be entering into the kingdom of God." ²⁶ Now they were exceedingly astonished, saying to Him, "And who can be saved? ²⁷ Now, looking at them, Jesus is saying, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all is possible with God." ²⁸ Peter begins to say to Him, "Lo! we leave all and follow Thee! What, consequently, will it be to us? ²⁹ Jesus averred to him, "Verily, I am saying to you that there is no one who leaves a house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on My account and on account of the evangel, ³⁰ who should not be getting back a hundredfold now, in this era, houses and brothers and sisters and mother and father and children and fields, with persecutions, and in the coming eon, life eonian." ³¹ Yet many of the first shall be last, and the last first."
