New International Version

Luke 18:23-31 New International Version (NIV)

23. When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy.

24. Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

25. Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

26. Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

27. Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

28. Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”

29. “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God

30. will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.”

31. Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
