Luke 18:18-30
The Rich Young Ruler
18 aA ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 19But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me ▼▼I.e., morally, inherently good
good? No one is ▼▼I.e., morally, inherently good
good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments, ‘ dDo not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Honor your father and mother.’” 21And he said, “All these things I have kept since my youth.” 22Now when Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack; esell all that you possess and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have ftreasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 23But when he had heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely wealthy. 24And Jesus looked at him and said, “ gHow hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God! 25 For hit is easier for a camel to ▼▼Lit enter
go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!” 26Those who heard Him said, “And so who can be saved?” 27But He said, “ jThe things that are impossible with people are possible with God.” 28 Peter said, “Behold, kwe have left ▼▼Lit our own things
our own homes and followed You.” 29And He said to them, “Truly I say to you, mthere is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will not receive many times as much at this time, and in nthe age to come, eternal life.”
