Matthew 19:21-27

21“If you want to be perfect,” Jesus said to him, “go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22When the young man heard that, he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.

23Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24Again I tell you, 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.”

25When the disciples heard this, they were utterly astonished and asked, “Then who can be saved?”

26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

27Then Peter responded to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you. So what will there be for us?”
