20He said to him, "Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth."
21Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."
22But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
23Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!"
24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25It is easier for a camel to go through the needle`s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
26They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"
