25. So when the disciples heard this, they were extremely amazed, saying, “Then who can be saved?”

26. But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With human beings this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

28. And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that in the renewal of the world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me—you also will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields on account of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

30. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
