Luke 18:18–30

¹⁸And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life? ¹⁹But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God. ²⁰Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. ²¹And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth. ²²And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me. ²³But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich. ²⁴But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God; ²⁵for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. ²⁶And those who heard it said, And who can be saved? ²⁷But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God. ²⁸And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee. ²⁹And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, ³⁰who shall not receive manifold more at this time, and in the coming age life eternal.
