¹⁸Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good. ¹⁹You know the commands: ‘You must not murder anyone. You must not be guilty of adultery. You must not steal. You must not tell lies about your neighbor. You must not cheat. Honor your father and mother.’ ” ⁿ

²⁰The man said, “Teacher, I have obeyed all these things since I was a boy.”

²¹Jesus, looking at the man, loved him and said, “There is one more thing you need to do. Go and sell everything you have, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”

²²He was very sad to hear Jesus say this, and he left sorrowfully, because he was rich.

²³Then Jesus looked at his followers and said, “How hard it will be for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

²⁴The followers were amazed at what Jesus said. But he said again, “My children, it is very hard ⁿ to enter the kingdom of God! ²⁵It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
