14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for aof such is the kingdom of heaven.”
15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler
16aNow behold, one came and said to Him, b“Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”
17 So He said to him,1“Why do you call Me good?No one isagood but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, bkeep the commandments.”
18 He said to Him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, a“‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’
19a‘Honor your father andyourmother,’ and, b‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have akept from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, ago, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
With God All Things Are Possible
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that ait is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but awith God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, awe have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”
28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, ayou who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
