Mixing Bowl Musings

18 (A) A ruler questioned Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

19 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

20 "You know the commandments, '(B) Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother."

21 And he said, "All these things I have kept from my youth."

22 When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still lack; (C) sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have (D) treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

23 But when he had heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.

24 And Jesus looked at him and said, "(E) How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

25 "For (F) it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

26 They who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

27 But He said, "(G) The things that are impossible with people are possible with God."
