Matthew 19:21-25 Good News Bible (GNB)

21. Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me.”

22. When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was very rich.

23. Jesus then said to his disciples, “I assure you: it will be very hard for rich people to enter the Kingdom of heaven.

24. I repeat: it is much harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.”

25. When the disciples heard this, they were completely amazed. “Who, then, can be saved?” they asked.
