18:18 Now ¹  a certain ruler ²  asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” ³  18:19 Jesus ⁴  said to him, “Why do you call me good? ⁵  No one is good except God alone. 18:20 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’” ⁶  18:21 The man ⁷  replied, “I have wholeheartedly obeyed ⁸  all these laws ⁹  since my youth.” ¹⁰  18:22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have ¹¹  and give the money ¹²  to the poor, ¹³  and you will have treasure ¹⁴  in heaven. Then ¹⁵  come, follow me.” 18:23 But when the man ¹⁶  heard this he became very sad, ¹⁷  for he was extremely wealthy. 18:24 When Jesus noticed this, ¹⁸  he said, “How hard ¹⁹  it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! ²⁰  18:25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle ²¹  than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 18:26 Those who heard this said, “Then ²²  who can be saved?” ²³  18:27 He replied, “What is impossible ²⁴  for mere humans ²⁵  is possible for God.” 18:28 And Peter said, “Look, we have left everything we own ²⁶  to follow you!” ²⁷  18:29 Then ²⁸  Jesus ²⁹  said to them, “I tell you the truth, ³⁰  there is no one who has left home or wife or brothers ³¹  or parents or children for the sake of God’s kingdom 18:30 who will not receive many times more ³²  in this age ³³  – and in the age to come, eternal life.” ³⁴
