16 One man said: »Master, what good thing must I do, so that I may have eternal life?«
17 Jesus answered him: »Why are you questioning me about what is good? There is one who is good. If you desire life, obey the Law.«
18 The man replied: »Which law?« And Jesus said: »Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false witness,
19 »Honor your father and your mother, and Love your neighbor as yourself.«
20 The man said to him: »I have done all these things; what more is there?«
21 Jesus then replied: »If you wish to be complete, go sell your possessions and give the money to the poor. You will have wealth in heaven. Then follow me!«
22 But hearing these words, the young man went away grieving, for he was very wealthy.
23 Jesus said to his disciples: »Truly I tell you, it is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.
24 »Again I say, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.«
25 The disciples were greatly surprised when they heard this. »Who, then, may have salvation?« they asked.
26 Jesus looked at them and said: »With men this is not possible. All things are possible with God!«
27 Then Peter said: »See, we have given up everything to follow you. What then will we have?«
28 Jesus replied: »Truly I say to you, when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 »Everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will receive many times as much, and have everlasting life.
30 »Many who are first will be last. Some who are last will be first.«
