17 Truly I say to you, whoever shall not take the kingdom of God as a child, he shall not enter into it. (I tell you the truth, whoever shall not receive, or shall not accept, the Kingdom of God like a child, he shall not enter into it.)
18 And a prince asked him, and said, Good master, in what thing doing shall I wield everlasting life? (And a leader of the synagogue asked him, and said, Good Teacher, what must I do to get, or to possess, eternal life?)
19 And Jesus said to him, What sayest thou me (to be) good? (or Why sayest thou that I am good?) No man is good, but God alone.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt not slay, Thou shalt not do lechery, Thou shalt not do theft, Thou shalt not say false witnessing, Worship thy father and thy mother. (Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not do adultery, Thou shalt not do theft, Thou shalt not give false testimony, or Thou shalt not lie, Honour thy father and thy mother.)
21 Which said (or And he replied), I have kept all these things from my youth.
22 And when this thing was heard, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing faileth to thee; sell thou all (the) things that thou hast, and give to poor men, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, and (pur)sue thou me, or and come, and (pur)sue me, (or and come, and follow me).
23 And when these things were heard, he was sorrowful, for he was full rich.
24 And Jesus seeing him made sorry or made sorrowful said, How hard they that have money or riches shall enter into the kingdom of God;
25 for it is lighter or forsooth it is easier, (for) a camel to pass through a needle’s eye, than (for) a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they that heard these things said, Who may be made safe? (And they who heard these things said, Then who can be saved?)
27 And he said to them, Those things that be impossible with men, be possible with God.
