23Jesus said to his disciples, “I can guarantee this truth: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24I can guarantee again that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.” 

25He amazed his disciples more than ever when they heard this. “Then who can be saved?” they asked. 

26Jesus looked at them and said, “It is impossible for people ⸤to save themselves⸥, but everything is possible for God.” 

27Then Peter replied to him, “Look, we’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?” 

28Jesus said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: When the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the world to come, you, my followers, will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who gave up homes, brothers or sisters, father, mother, children, or fields because of my name will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. 30However, many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
