^{16 Ref} And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?

^{17 Ref} And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.

^{18 Ref} He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,

^{19 Ref} Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

^{20 Ref} The young man says to him, All these things have I done: what more is there?

^{21 Ref} Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

^{22 Ref} But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.

^{23 Ref} And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

^{24 Ref} And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.
