WPNT(i)
17 As Jesus set out on the road, someone came running up, knelt before Him and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
18 So Jesus said to Him: “Why do you call me ‘good’? No one is good except one—God.
19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery’, ‘Do not murder’, ‘Do not steal’, ‘Do not give false testimony’, ‘Do not defraud’, ‘Honor your father and mother’.”
20 In answer he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since I was young”.
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him: “One thing you lack; go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, take up the cross, and follow me.”
22 But he was dismayed at the suggestion and went away sorrowing, because he had many possessions.
23 Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to get into the Kingdom of God!”
24 But the disciples were astounded at His words. So Jesus tried again and said to them: “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God.
25 It is actually easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
26 Then they were totally astonished, saying to each other, “Who then can be saved?”
27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; because all things are possible with God.”
28 Then Peter began to say to Him, “So, we have left all and followed you”.
29 In answer Jesus said: “I tell you assuredly, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields, for my sake and for that of the Gospel,
30 who will not receive a hundred times more, now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and father and mother and children and fields (with persecutions)—and in the age to come, eternal life.
31 But many first will be last, and last first.”
