Matthew 19:23-30

23And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person 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 greatly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

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

27Then Peter said in reply, "See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?"

28Jesus said to them, "Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

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