²⁰Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.

²¹Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.

²²Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee. Sell all whatever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.

²³He having heard these things, became sorrowful: for he was very rich.

²⁴And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God

²⁵For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶And they that heard it said: Who then can be saved?

²⁷He said to them: The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
