Matthew 19:23

← Matthew 19:22	Matthew 19:23 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 19:24 [words of Jesus] →
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.	Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.	And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
