Matthew 19:23-30
World English Bible
23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.

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.
