Goodspeed(i)
16 A man came up to him and said, "Master, what good deed must I do to obtain eternal life?"
17 But he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter that life, keep the commandments."
18 He said to him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, "These: 'You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
19 Honor your father and mother,' and 'You shall love your neighbor as you do yourself.' "
20 The young man said to him, "I have obeyed all these commandments. What do I still lack?"
21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go! Sell your property and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come back and be a follower of mine."
22 But when the young man heard that, he went away much cast down, for he had a great deal of property.
23 Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you, it will be hard for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of Heaven!
24 And again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle's eye than for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of God!"
25 But when the disciples heard this, they were completely astounded and said, "Then who can be saved?"
26 But Jesus looked at them and said, "For men it is impossible, but anything is possible for God!"
27 Then Peter spoke and said to him, "Here we have left all we had and followed you. What are we to have?"
28 Jesus said to them, "In the new world, I tell you, when the Son of Man takes his seat on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit upon twelve thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel!
29 And anyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or land for my sake will receive many times as much, and share eternal life.
30 But many who are first now will be last then, and many who are now last will be first.
