Matthew 19:23-30
English Standard Version
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, (A)only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 (B)Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter (C)the kingdom of God.” 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26 But Jesus (D)looked at them and said, (E)“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 27 Then Peter said in reply, “See, (F)we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?” 28 Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in the new world,[a] (G)when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me (H)will also sit on twelve thrones, (I)judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 (J)And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold[b] and will (K)inherit eternal life. 30 But (L)many who are (M)first will be last, and the last first.

International Standard Version
Salvation and Reward(A)
23 Then Jesus told his disciples, “I tell all of you[a] with certainty, it will be hard for a rich person to get into the kingdom from[b] heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were completely astonished. “Who, then, can be saved?” they asked.
26 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “For humans this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
27 “Look!” Peter replied. “We have left everything and followed you. So what will we get?”
28 Jesus told them, “I tell all of you[c] with certainty, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the renewed creation, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, governing the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 In fact, everyone who has left his homes, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or fields because of my name will receive a hundred times as much[d] and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
