16 Then someone came to him and said, "Teacher, what good deed must I do
to have eternal life?" 17 And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about
what is good? There is only one who is good. If you wish to enter into
life, keep the commandments." 18 He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus
said, "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;
also, You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 20 The young man said
to him, "I have kept all these;F141 what do I still lack?" 21
Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions,
and give the moneyF142 to the poor, and you will have treasure
in heaven; then come, follow me." 22 When the young man heard this word,
he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it will be hard
for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you,
it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone
who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." 25 When the disciples heard this,
they were greatly astounded and said, "Then who can be saved?" 26 But Jesus
looked at them and said, "For mortals it is impossible, but for God all
things are possible." 27 Then Peter said in reply, "Look, we have left
everything and followed you. What then will we have?" 28 Jesus said to
them, "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of
Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will
also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And
everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother
or children or fields, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold,F143
and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last,
and the last will be first.

17 As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 18 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19 You know the commandments: "You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother.' " 20 He said to him, "Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth." 21 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the moneyF90 to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." 22 When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. 23 Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" 24 And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is F91 to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." 26 They were greatly astounded and said to one another, F92 "Then who can be saved?" 27 Jesus looked at them and said, "For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible." 28 Peter began to say to him, "Look, we have left everything and followed you." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news,F93 30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first." |
18 A certain ruler asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit
eternal life?" 19 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is
good but God alone. 20 You know the commandments: "You shall not commit
adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear
false witness; Honor your father and mother.' " 21 He replied, "I have
kept all these since my youth." 22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him,
"There is still one thing lacking. Sell all that you own and distribute
the money F163 to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven;
then come, follow me." 23 But when he heard this, he became sad; for he
was very rich. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those
who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Indeed, it is easier for
a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich
to enter the kingdom of God." 26 Those who heard it said, "Then who can
be saved?" 27 He replied, "What is impossible for mortals is possible for
God." 28 Then Peter said, "Look, we have left our homes and followed you."
29 And he said to them, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left
house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom
of God, 30 who will not get back very much more in this age, and in the
age to come eternal life."
