Matthew 19:21-27

21Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, sell what you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!”

22When the young man heard this, he went away sad because he owned a lot of property.

23Jesus said to his disciples, “I can guarantee this truth: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24I can guarantee again that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.”

25He amazed his disciples more than ever when they heard this. “Then who can be saved?” they asked.

26Jesus looked at them and said, “It is impossible for people ⌞to save themselves⌟, but everything is possible for God.”

27Then Peter replied to him, “Look, we’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?”
