A ruler asks about eternal life; the camel and the needle’s eye

영생을 묻는 관원과 약대와 바늘귀의 말씀

Luke 18:18–30: a certain ruler asks him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus asks him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God. You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” The ruler says, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.” When Jesus hears these things, he says to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” But when the ruler hears these things, he becomes very sad, for he is very rich. Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, says, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom! For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.” Those who hear it ask, “Then who can be saved?” and he says, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Peter says, “Look, we have left everything and followed you,” and Jesus tells them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.”
