New International Reader's Version

Matthew 19:22-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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

23. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "What I'm about to tell you is true. It is hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24. Again I tell you, it is hard for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But it is even harder for the rich to enter God's kingdom."

25. When the disciples heard this, they were really amazed. They asked, "Then who can be saved?"

26. Jesus looked at them and said, "With man, that is impossible. But with God, all things are possible."

27. Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What reward will be given to us?"
