An official asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus tells him to sell all his possessions and give to the poor, then follow him. When the official is sad because he is rich, Jesus says it is hard for rich people to enter God's kingdom. His disciples are surprised, but Jesus says with God all things are possible.

2.  Luk 18:18 Then an official asked Jesus,
"Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit
eternal life?"
 Luk 18:19 "Why do you call me good?"
Jesus asked him. "Nobody is good
except for God.
 Luk 18:20 You know the
commandments: 'Never commit
adultery. Never murder. Never steal.
Never give false testimony. Honor your
father and mother.'"

3.  Luk 18:21 The official replied, "I have
kept all of these since I was a young
man."
 Luk 18:22 When Jesus heard this, he told
him, "You still need to do one thing. Sell
everything you have and give the
money to the destitute, and you will
have treasure in heaven. Then come
back and follow me."
 Luk 18:23 But when the official heard this
he became sad, because he was very
rich.

4.  Luk 18:24 So when Jesus saw how sad
he was, he said, "How hard it is for rich
people to get into the kingdom of God!
 Luk 18:25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel
to squeeze through the eye of a needle
than for a rich person to get into the
kingdom of God."
 Luk 18:26 Those who were listening to
Jesus asked, "Then who can be saved?"
 Luk 18:27 Jesus replied, "The things that
are impossible for people are possible
for God."
