IVangeli Elingcwele NgokukaMathewu 10: 24- 33

10:24	And the disciples were astonished at his words. Kodwa uJesu, answering again, wathi kubo: “Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God!
10:25	It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God.”
10:26	And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, “Who, bese, can be saved?”
10:27	Futhi uJesu, ebagqolozele, kusho: “With men it is impossible; kodwa hhayi kuNkulunkulu. For with God all things are possible.”
10:28	And Peter began to say to him, “Bheka, we have left all things and have followed you.”
10:29	Ukuphendula, UJesu wathi: “Amen ngithi kuwe, There is no one who has left behind house, noma abazalwane, noma odade, kumbe ubaba, noma umama, noma izingane, noma umhlaba, for my sake and for the Gospel,
10:30	who will not receive one hundred times as much, now in this time: houses, kanye nabazalwane, and sisters, and mothers, kanye nezingane, and land, with persecutions, and in the future age eternal life.
10:31	But many of the first shall be last, futhi abokugcina bayoba ngabokuqala.”
