16 ^sAnd behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, ^twhat 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. ^uIf you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, ^v“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, and, ^wYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be ^xperfect, go, ^ysell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, ^zfollow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a ^arich person 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 a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, ^bbut with God all things are possible.” 27 Then Peter said in reply, “See, ^cwe have ^dleft everything and followed you. What then will we have?” 28 Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in the new world,¹ when the Son of Man will ^esit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also ^fsit 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 lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold² and will ^ginherit eternal life. 30 ^hBut many who are first will be last, and the last first.
