²⁸ And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him.

¹¹ And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.

¹⁹ So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke `of oxen' before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him.

²⁰ And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?

²¹ And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

²² But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions.

²³ And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

²⁴ And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁵ And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved?

²⁶ And Jesus looking upon `them' said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

²⁷ Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?

⁵⁹ And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

⁶⁰ But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house.

⁶² But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
