¹⁷And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?

¹⁸And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.

¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.

²⁰But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth.

²¹And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.

²²Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

²³And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God?

²⁵It 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.
