New Testament

Matthew 19:20-27 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

20. “I have kept all these,” the young man told Him. “What do I still lack? ”

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.”

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

23. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I assure you: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!

24. Again 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.”

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

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

27. Then Peter responded to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You. So what will there be for us? ”
