With God All Things Are Possible(A)

23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that (B)it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but (C)with God all things are possible.”

27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, (D)we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”

28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, (E)you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 (F)And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother [a]or wife or children or [b]lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30 (G)But many who are first will be last, and the last first.
