## Matthew 19:20-22 in Context (Verses 17–25 KJV)
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/19/17) And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? *there is* none good but one, *that is*, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/19/18) He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/19/19) Honour thy father and *thy* mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/19/20) The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/19/21) Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go *and* sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come *and* follow me.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/19/22) But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/matthew/19/23) ¶ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/matthew/19/24) And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/matthew/19/25) When his disciples heard *it*, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
