24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[a] to enter the kingdom of God!(B) 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”(C)

26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”(D)

28 Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”(E)

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much(F) in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come(G) eternal life.(H) 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”(I)
