Jesus told his disciples, “Truly I say to you: it will be difficult for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Yes, believe me: it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Hearing this, the disciples were astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”

Jesus looked at them and replied:

“For human beings, it is impossible, but for God, all things are possible.”

Then Peter spoke up and said:

“You see, we have given up everything to follow you. What then will there be for us?”

Jesus answered:

“You who have followed me, listen to my words: on the Day of Renewal, when the Son of Man sits on his throne in glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

For those who have left houses, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, children, or property because of my name, they will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.”
