Luke 18:23 Context
21And he said, All these haue I kept from my youth vp. 22Now when Iesus heard these things, hee said vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: Sell all that thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, follow me. 23And when he heard this, he was very sorowfull, for he was very rich. 24And when Iesus saw that hee was very sorrowfull, he said, How hardly shal they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God? 25For it is easier for a camel to goe thorow a needles eye, then for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
