Matthew 19:23-30

Evangelical Heritage Version

²³ Jesus said to his disciples, “Amen I tell you: It will be very hard for a rich man 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 a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

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

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

²⁷ Then Peter answered, “Look, we have left everything and followed you! What then will we have?”

²⁸ Jesus said to them, “Amen I tell you: In the renewal, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ Everyone who has left homes or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, because of my name, will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. ³⁰ Many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”
