18 Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” —Luke 18:18 (NLT)

19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only God is truly good. —Luke 18:19 (NLT)

20 But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother.’” —Luke 18:20 (NLT)

22 When Jesus heard his answer, he said, “There is still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” —Luke 18:22 (NLT)

24 When Jesus saw this, he said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God! 25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” —Luke 18:24–25 (NLT)

27 He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.” —Luke 18:27 (NLT)

28 Peter said, “We’ve left our homes to follow you.” 29 “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, 30 will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come.” —Luke 18:28–30 (NLT)
