21. Jesus looked closely at the man. He liked him and said, “There's one thing you still need to do. Go and sell everything you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come with me.”
22. When the man heard Jesus say this, he went away gloomy and sad because he was very rich.
23. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “It's hard for rich people to get into God's kingdom!”
24. The disciples were shocked to hear this. So Jesus told them again, “It's terribly hard to get into God's kingdom!
25. In fact, it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into God's kingdom.”
26. Jesus' disciples were even more amazed. They asked each other, “How can anyone ever be saved?”
27. Jesus looked at them and said, “There are some things that people cannot do, but God can do anything.”
