有钱的青年

16 有一个人来请教耶稣:“老师,我该做什么善事才能获得永生呢?”

17 耶稣说:“你为什么问我做什么善事?只有上帝是善的,你要得永生,就必须遵守祂的诫命。”

18 那人问:“什么诫命呢?”

耶稣答道:“不可杀人,不可通奸,不可偷盗,不可作伪证, 19 要孝敬父母,并且爱邻如己。”

20 那青年说:“这些我早已遵守了,还缺什么呢?”

21 耶稣告诉他:“如果你想做到纯全,就去变卖所有的产业,送给穷人,你就必有财宝存在天上,然后你来跟从我。” 22 那青年听后,便忧伤地走了,因为他有许多产业。

23 事后,耶稣对门徒说:“我实在告诉你们,有钱人进天国很困难。 24 我再告诉你们,骆驼穿过针眼比有钱人进上帝的国还容易呢!”

25 门徒听了,惊奇地问:“这样,谁能得救呢?”

26 耶稣看着他们说:“对人而言,这不可能;但对上帝而言,凡事都可能。”

27 彼得问道:“你看,我们已经撇下一切来跟从你了,将来会有什么奖赏呢?”

28 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,到万物更新、人子坐在祂荣耀的宝座上时,你们这些跟从我的人也要坐在十二个宝座上,审判以色列的十二个支派。 29 无论谁为我的名而撇下房屋、弟兄、姊妹、父母、儿女或田地,都要得到百倍的赏赐,而且承受永生。 30 然而,许多为首的将要殿后,殿后的将要为首。”

有錢的青年

16 有一個人來請教耶穌:「老師,我該做什麼善事才能獲得永生呢?」

17 耶穌說:「你為什麼問我做什麼善事?只有上帝是善的,你要得永生,就必須遵守祂的誡命。」

18 那人問:「什麼誡命呢?」

耶穌答道:「不可殺人,不可通姦,不可偷盜,不可作偽證, 19 要孝敬父母,並且愛鄰如己。」

20 那青年說:「這些我早已遵守了,還缺什麼呢?」

21 耶穌告訴他:「如果你想做到純全,就去變賣所有的產業,送給窮人,你就必有財寶存在天上,然後你來跟從我。」 22 那青年聽後,便憂傷地走了,因為他有許多產業。

23 事後,耶穌對門徒說:「我實在告訴你們,有錢人進天國很困難。 24 我再告訴你們,駱駝穿過針眼比有錢人進上帝的國還容易呢!」

25 門徒聽了,驚奇地問:「這樣,誰能得救呢?」

26 耶穌看著他們說:「對人而言,這不可能;但對上帝而言,凡事都可能。」

27 彼得問道:「你看,我們已經撇下一切來跟從你了,將來會有什麼獎賞呢?」

28 耶穌說:「我實在告訴你們,到萬物更新、人子坐在祂榮耀的寶座上時,你們這些跟從我的人也要坐在十二個寶座上,審判以色列的十二個支派。 29 無論誰為我的名而撇下房屋、弟兄、姊妹、父母、兒女或田地,都要得到百倍的賞賜,而且承受永生。 30 然而,許多為首的將要殿後,殿後的將要為首。」

16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 Then said Jesus 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 easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(A)

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life(B)?”(C)

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”(D)

18 “Which ones?” he inquired.

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,(E) you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[a](F) and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[b](G)

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,(H) go, sell your possessions and give to the poor,(I) and you will have treasure in heaven.(J) Then come, follow me.”

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich(K) to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(L)

27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(M) What then will there be for us?”

28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,(N) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(O) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[c] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(P) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(Q)

富豪求问永生

18 一位官长问耶稣:“良善的老师,我该做什么才能承受永生?”

19 耶稣说:“你为什么称呼我‘良善的老师’呢?只有上帝是良善的。 20 你知道‘不可通奸,不可杀人,不可偷盗,不可作伪证,要孝敬父母’这些诫命”。

21 那人说:“我从小就遵行这些诫命。”

22 耶稣听了就对他说:“你还有一件事没有做,就是变卖你所有的产业,分给穷人,你必有财宝存在天上,然后你还要来跟从我。” 23 那人听了,极其忧愁,因为他非常富有。

24 耶稣见状,就说;“有钱人进上帝的国真难啊! 25 骆驼穿过针眼比有钱人进上帝的国还容易呢!”

26 听见的人就问:“这样,谁能得救呢?”

27 耶稣回答说:“对人而言,这不可能,但对上帝而言,凡事都可能。”

28 彼得说:“你看!我们已经撇下一切来跟从你了。”

29 耶稣说:“我实在告诉你们,任何人为了上帝的国而撇下房屋、妻子、弟兄、父母或儿女, 30 今世必得百倍的奖赏,来世必得永生。”

18 一位官長問耶穌:「良善的老師,我該做什麼才能承受永生?」

19 耶穌說:「你為什麼稱呼我『良善的老師』呢?只有上帝是良善的。 20 你知道『不可通姦,不可殺人,不可偷盜,不可作偽證,要孝敬父母』這些誡命」。

21 那人說:「我從小就遵行這些誡命。」

22 耶穌聽了就對他說:「你還有一件事沒有做,就是變賣你所有的產業,分給窮人,你必有財寶存在天上,然後你還要來跟從我。」 23 那人聽了,極其憂愁,因為他非常富有。

24 耶穌見狀,就說;「有錢人進上帝的國真難啊! 25 駱駝穿過針眼比有錢人進上帝的國還容易呢!」

26 聽見的人就問:「這樣,誰能得救呢?」

27 耶穌回答說:「對人而言,這不可能,但對上帝而言,凡事都可能。」

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.

24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

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

26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(A)

18 A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(B)

19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’[a](C)

21 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.

22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor,(D) and you will have treasure in heaven.(E) Then come, follow me.”

23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!(F) 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”(G)

28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”(H)

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come(I) eternal life.”(J)
