Matthew 19:20-28
New King James Version
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have (A)kept [a]from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, (B)go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
With God All Things Are Possible(C)
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that (D)it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And 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 His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but (E)with God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, (F)we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”
28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, (G)you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
