As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

As he was starting again on his journey, a man came running up to him, and knelt at his feet and asked him, “Good master, what must I do to make sure of eternal life?”

18

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God himself.

19

You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat others, honor your father and mother.’ ”

You know the commandments—‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’

20

“Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”

But he said to him, “Master, I have obeyed all these commandments ever since I was a child.”

21

Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me. ”

And Jesus looked at him and loved him, and he said to him, “There is one thing that you lack. Go, sell all you have, and give the money to the poor, and then you will have riches in heaven; and come back and be a follower of mine.”

22

But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.

But his face fell at Jesus’ words, and he went away much cast down, for he had a great deal of property.

23

Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have money to enter the Kingdom of God!”

24

And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

But the disciples were amazed at what he said. And Jesus said to them again, “My children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God!

25

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of God!”

26

They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”

They were perfectly astounded and said to him, “Then who can be saved?”

27

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”

Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God, for anything is possible for God.”
