(21)Then Jesus looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one
thing thou art defective: go, sell all that thou hast, and give to the
poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up thy
cross, and follow me. (22)And groaning over this speech, he went away
sorrowful: for he had many estates. (23)And Jesus looking round, said
to his disciples, How difficultly shall they who have riches enter into
the kingdom of God! (24)Then his disciples were astonished at these

difficult is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom
of God! (25)It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a
