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。”

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.

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 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.
