Matthew 19:22 Context
20The young man saith vnto him, All these things haue I kept from my youth vp: what lacke I yet? 21Iesus said vnto him, If thou wilt be perfect, goe and sell that thou hast, and giue to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen: and come and follow me. 22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowfull: for he had great possessions. 23¶ Then said Iesus vnto his disciples, Uerely I say vnto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdome of heauen. 24And againe I say vnto you, It is easier for a camel to goe thorow the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the kingdome of God.
