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。”

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich(A) 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.”(B)

27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(C) 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,(D) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(E) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[a] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(F) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(G)

  1. Matthew 19:29 Some manuscripts do not have or wife.

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.
