17I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
18And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question — “Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?”
19“Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
20You know the commandments — Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honor your father and your mother.”
21“I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
22Hearing this, Jesus said to him, “There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.”
23But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
25It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle's eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!”
26“Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
27But Jesus said, “What is impossible with people is possible with God.”
