Luke 18:18-30

18A ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

19“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good except God alone.

20You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honor your father and mother.”

21“I have kept all these from my youth,” he said.

22When Jesus heard this, he told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

23After he heard this, he became extremely sad, because he was very rich.

24Seeing that he became sad, Jesus said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth 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 person to enter the kingdom of God.”

26Those who heard this asked, “Then who can be saved?”

27He replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

28Then Peter said, “Look, we have left what we had and followed you.”

29So he said to them, “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left a house, wife or brothers or sisters, parents or children because of the kingdom of God,

30who will not receive many times more at this time, and eternal life in the age to come.”
