“Then said Jesus unto His disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 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. When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:16-26. {1T 171.1}

Men Jesus sagde til sine disciple: »Sandelig siger jeg eder: det er vanskeligt for en rig at komme ind i Himmeriget. Ja, jeg siger jer: en kamel går lettere gennem et nåleøje, end en rig går ind i Guds rige.« Ved at høre det blev disciplene dybt rystede og sagde: »Hvem kan så blive frelst?« Da sagde Jesus til dem og sagde: »For mennesker er dette umuligt, men for Gud er alle ting mulige.« Matthæus 19,16-26.
