16 Behold, one coming to Him said, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do, in order that I may have eternal life? 17 And He said to him, Why do you ask me concerning the good One? One is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He says to Him, What? And Jesus said to him, Thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt hot steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 honor the father and the mother, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 20 The young man says to Him, All these have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said to him, If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 22 And the young man hearing the word, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say unto you, that a rich man will hardly enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 24 And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of God. 25 And the disciples hearing, were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then is able to be saved? 26 And Jesus looking on them said; With men this is impossible; but all things are possible with God. 27 Then Peter responding said to Him, Behold, we have left all things, and followed Thee; what then shall be to us? 28 And Jesus said to them, Truly I say unto you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man may sit upon the throne of His glory, you shall also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, on account of my name, shall receive a hundred-fold, and inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first shall be last, and the last first.
