Living_Oracles(i)
18 Then a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what good shall I do to obtain eternal life?
19 Jesus answered, Why do you call me good? God alone is good.
20 You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not give false testimony; honor your father and your mother.
21 He replied, All these I have observed from my childhood.
22 Hearing this, Jesus said to him, Yet in one thing you are deficient: sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: then come and follow me.
23 When he heard this, he was exceedingly sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Jesus, perceiving that he was very sorrowful, said, How difficult will it be for men of opulence to enter the kingdom of God.
25 It is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26 The hearers said, Who, then, can be saved?"
27 Jesus answered, Things impossible to men, are possible to God.
28 Then Peter said, Lo! we have forsaken all, and followed thee.
29 Jesus answered, Indeed, I say to you, that there is none who shall have forsaken his house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, on account of the kingdom of God;
30 who shall not receive manifold more in return, in this world, and in the future, eternal life.
