New International Reader's Version

Matthew 19:24-29 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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?"

28. "What I'm about to tell you is true," Jesus said to them. "When all things are made new, the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne. Then you who have followed me will also sit on 12 thrones. You will judge the 12 tribes of Israel.

29. Everyone who has left houses or families or fields because of me will receive 100 times as much. They will also receive eternal life.
