Matthew 19:16-24

161And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain 2eternal life?” 17And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but 3if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18Then he said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “4You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; 195Honor your father and mother; and 6You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?” 21Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be 7complete, go and 8sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have 9treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

23And Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you, 10it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I say to you, 11it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
