25. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom!”
26. The followers were even more amazed and said to each other, “Then who can be saved?”
27. Jesus looked at them and said, “That is something people cannot do, but God can. He can do anything.”
28. Peter said to Jesus, “We left everything to follow you!”
29. Jesus said, “I can promise that everyone who has left their home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or farm for me and for the Good News about me
30. will get a hundred times more than they left. Here in this world they will get more homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and farms. And with these things they will have persecutions. But in the world that is coming they will also get the reward of eternal life.
31. Many people who have the highest place now will have the lowest place in the future. And the people who have the lowest place now will have the highest place then.”
