Matthew 19:23–30

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. ^30cBut many who are first will be last, and the last first.
