New Century Version

Matthew 19:20-25 New Century Version (NCV)

20. The young man said, “I have obeyed all these things. What else do I need to do?”

21. Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, then go and sell your possessions and give the money to the poor. If you do this, you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.”

22. But when the young man heard this, he left sorrowfully, because he was rich.

23. Then Jesus said to his followers, “I tell you the truth, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24. Yes, I tell you that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

25. When Jesus’ followers heard this, they were very surprised and asked, “Then who can be saved?”
