Matthew 19:21-30 ▼

21 Iesus sayd vnto him, If thou wilt be perfite, go, sell that thou hast, & giue it to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, & come, and followe me.

22 And when the yong man heard that saying, he went away sorowfull: for he had great possessions.

23 Then Iesus sayd vnto his disciples, Verely I say vnto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdome of heauen.

24 And againe I say vnto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into ye kingdome of God.

25 And whe his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amased, saying, Who then can be saued?

26 And Iesus behelde them, and sayde vnto them, With men this is vnpossible, but with God all things are possible.

27 Then answered Peter, and said to him, Beholde, we haue forsaken all, and followed thee: what therefore shall we haue?

28 And Iesus said vnto them, Verely I say to you, that when the Sonne of man shall sit in the throne of his maiestie, ye which folowed me in the regeneration, shal sit also vpon twelue thrones and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel.

29 And whosoeuer shal forsake houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my Names sake, he shall receiue an hundreth folde more, and shall inherite euerlasting life.

30 But many that are first, shalbe last, and the last shalbe first.
