23 Jesus said to his disciples, |Truly I say to you, it is difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter into the Kingdom of God.| 25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, |Who then can be saved?| 26 Looking at them, Jesus said, |With humans this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.| 27 Then Peter answered, |Look, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?| 28 Jesus said to them, |Truly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit everlasting life. 30 But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
