this
should

themselves
eunuchs
for the Kingdom of Heaven's
sake

who is
able
to
receive
it ,
let
him
receive
it
. "

man

my

possessions
and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven .
Then
come, follow Me. ”

you, a rich man will
enter into
the Kingdom of Heaven with
difficulty

through the
eye
of
a needle

eye,

, they were greatly
astonished and
asked
, “
Who then can be saved? ”

and
followed
you. What then will we
have
? "
Jesus said to them, “Truly
I tell you, in the renewal

all
things,

on His
glorious

have
followed
Me
will
also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
