21 E ele disse: Todas estas coisas tenho guardado desde minha juventude.

22 Porém Jesus, ouvindo isto, disse-lhe: Ainda uma coisa te falta: vende tudo quanto tens, e reparte-o entre os pobres, e terás um tesouro no céu; e vem, segue-me.

23 Mas ele, ouvindo isto, ficou muito triste, porque era muito rico.

24 E vendo Jesus que ele tinha ficado muito triste, disse: Como é difícil os que têm [muitos] bens entrarem no Reino de Deus!

25 Porque é mais fácil um camelo entrar pelo olho de uma agulha do que um rico entrar no Reino de Deus.
