Luke 18:18-30

The Rich Ruler and Eternal Life

Luke 18:18-30
18
One of the leaders asked him, “Good rabbi, what should I do to obtain eternal life?”
19
Yeshua said to him, “Why are you calling me good? No one is good but God!
20
You know the mitzvot — ‘Don’t commit adultery, don’t murder, don’t steal, don’t give false testimony, honor your father and mother, . . .’”
21
He replied, “I have kept all these since I was a boy.”
22
On hearing this Yeshua said to him, “There is one thing you still lack. Sell whatever you have, distribute the proceeds to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me!”
23
But when the man heard this, he became very sad, because he was very rich.
24
Yeshua looked at him and said, “How hard it is for people with wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!
25
It’s easier for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”
26
Those who heard this asked, “Then who can be saved?”
27
He said, “What is impossible humanly is possible with God.”
28
Kefa said, “Look, we have left our homes and followed you.”
29
Yeshua answered them, “Yes! I tell you that everyone who has left house, wife, brothers, parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
30
will receive many times as much in the ‘olam hazeh, and in the ‘olam haba eternal life.”
