Matthew 19:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 And when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 [a]Then Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is [b]easier for a [c]camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
