Matthew 19:16–29

Rich Young Ruler

Mark 10:17–27; Luke 18:18–27

^16oNow behold, one came and said to Him, ^p“Good ⁴Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

¹⁷So He said to him, ⁵“Why do you call Me good? ⁶No one is ^qgood but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, ^rkeep the commandments.”

¹⁸He said to Him, “Which ones?”

Jesus said, ^s“ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ ^19t‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ^u‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

²⁰The young man said to Him, “All these things I have ^vkept ⁷from my youth. What do I still lack?”

²¹Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, ^wgo, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

²²But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

²³Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that ^xit is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. ²⁴And again I say to you, 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.”

²⁵When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁶But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but ^ywith God all things are possible.”

The Apostles’ Reward

Mark 10:28–30; Luke 18:28–30

²⁷Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, ^zwe have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”

²⁸So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, ^ayou who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ^29bAnd everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother ⁸or wife or children or ⁹lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
