²³And Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Verily I say to you, that hardly shall a rich man enter into the reign of the heavens; ²⁴and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to go, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.’ ²⁵And his disciples having heard, were amazed exceedingly, saying, ‘Who, then, is able to be saved?’ ²⁶And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, ‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’ ²⁷Then Peter answering said to him, ‘Lo, we did leave all, and follow thee, what then shall we have?’ ²⁸And Jesus said to them, ‘Verily I say to you, that ye who did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit upon a throne of his glory, shall sit—ye also—upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel; ²⁹and every one who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my name’s sake, an hundredfold shall receive, and life age-during shall inherit; ³⁰and many first shall be last, and last first.
