22And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.Log in to add notes

23And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!Log in to add notes

24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!Log in to add notes

25It 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.Log in to add notes
