Luke 18:18–30

Rich Young Ruler

Matt. 19:16–26; Mark 10:17–27

^18lNow a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

¹⁹So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but ^mOne, that is, God. ²⁰You know the commandments: ⁿ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ^o‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”

²¹And he said, “All ^pthese things I have kept from my youth.”

²²So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. ^qSell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

²³But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

²⁴And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, ^r“How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! ²⁵For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

²⁶And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁷But He said, ^s“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

Christ Will Reward Sacrifice

Matt. 19:27–29; Mark 10:28–30

^28tThen Peter said, “See, we have left ⁵all and followed You.”

²⁹So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, ^uthere is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, ^30vwho shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”
