21. And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, `One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast--sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'
22. And he--gloomy at the word--went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
23. And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, `How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!'
24. And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, `Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!
25. It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'
26. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, `And who is able to be saved?'
27. And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, `With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'
