Matthew 19:23-30

23 And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

 

 

 

24 "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

25 When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"

26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

 

27 Then Peter said to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?"

28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

 

 

 

30 "But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.

NASU

Mark 10:23-31

23 And Jesus, looking around, said to His disciples, "How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!"

24 The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

25 "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

 

26 They were even more astonished and said to Him, "Then who can be saved?"

27 Looking at them, Jesus said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God."

 

28 Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You."

 

29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you,...

 

 

 

...there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake,

30 but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.

31 "But many who are first will be last, and the last, first."

NASU

Luke 18:24-30

24 And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

 

 

 

25 "For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

 

26 They who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

 

27 But He said, "The things that are impossible with people are possible with God."

28 Peter said, "Behold, we have left our own homes and followed You."

 

29 And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, ...

 

 

 

 

...there 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 the age to come, eternal life."
