The Rich Ruler and Eternal Life

18

Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life?

19

And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.

20

Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.

21

And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.

22

Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.

23

But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.

24

And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!

25

Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.

26

Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?

27

And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.

28

Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.

29

And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,

30

Which shall not receiue much more in this world, and in the world to come life euerlasting.
