Luke 18:22-33 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. And when Jesus heard this, he said to him: "One thing is still lacking for you. Sell all the things that you have, and give to the poor. And then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me."

23. When he heard this, he became very sorrowful. For he was very rich.

24. Then Jesus, seeing him brought to sorrow, said: "How difficult it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!

25. For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy man to enter into the kingdom of God."

26. And those who were listening to this said, "Then who is able to be saved?"

27. He said to them, "Things that are impossible with men are possible with God."

28. And Peter said, "Behold, we have left everything, and we have followed you."

29. And he said to them: "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has left behind home, or parents, or brothers, or a wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

30. who will not receive much more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."

31. Then Jesus took the twelve aside, and he said to them: "Behold, we are ascending to Jerusalem, and everything shall be completed which was written by the prophets about the Son of man.

32. For he will be handed over to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and scourged and spit upon.

33. And after they have scourged him, they will kill him. And on the third day, he will rise again."
