Matthew 19:16–26

¹⁶And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?

¹⁷Who said to him: Why askest thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

¹⁸He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.

¹⁹Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

²⁰The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?

²¹Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²²And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.

²³Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

²⁴And again I say to you: 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 heaven.

²⁵And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered much, saying: Who then can be saved?

²⁶And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible.
