22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
And the young man hearing the word, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Yeshua said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
