Old Testament

New Testament

Luke 18:20-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

20. You know the commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother.’”

21. And he replied, “All of these I have observed from my youth.”

22. When Jesus heard this he said to him, “There is still one thing left for you: sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have a treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

23. But when he heard this he became quite sad, for he was very rich.

24. Jesus looked at him [now sad] and said, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!

25. For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
