The Rich Young Man.

*16h Now someone approached him and said, “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?”*17He answered him, “Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good.* If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”18* i He asked him, “Which ones?” And Jesus replied, “ ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness;19honor your father and your mother’; and ‘you shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”20* The young man said to him, “All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?”21j Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect,* go, sell what you have and give to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”22When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.23* Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.24k Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”25* When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”26l Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”27m Then Peter said to him in reply, “We have given up everything and followed you. What will there be for us?”28* n Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.29And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will inherit eternal life.30* o But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
