The Rich Young Ruler

Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)

Mat 19:16–30

16 And lo! one came, and said to him, Good master, what good thing shall I do, that I have everlasting life?
17 Which saith to him, What askest thou me of good thing? There is one good God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not do man-slaying, thou shalt not do adultery, thou shalt not do theft, thou shalt not say false witnessing;
19 worship or honour thy father and thy mother, and, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith to him, I have kept all these things from my youth, what yet faileth to me?
21 Jesus saith to him, If thou wilt be perfect, go, and sell all things that thou hast, and give to poor men, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, and pursue me.
22 And when the young man had heard these words, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, I say to you truth, or Truly I say to you, for a rich man of hard shall enter into the kingdom of heavens.
24 And again I say to you, it is lighter or easier a camel to pass through a needle’s eye or the hole of a needle, than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heavens.
25 When these things were heard, the disciples wondered greatly, and said, Who then may be safe?
26 Jesus beheld, and said to them, With men this thing is impossible; but with God all things be possible.
27 Then Peter answered, and said to him, Lo! we have forsaken all things, and we have pursued thee; what then shall be to us?
28 And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that ye that have forsaken all things, and have pursued me, in the regeneration when man’s Son shall sit in the seat of his majesty, also ye shall sit on twelve seats, deeming the twelve kindreds of Israel.
29 And every man that forsaketh house, or brethren or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, or fields, for my name, he shall take an hundredfold, and shall wield ever-lasting life.
30 But many shall be, the first the last, and the last the first.

Mrk 10:17–31

17 And when Jesus was gone out into the way, a man ran before, and kneeled before him, and prayed him, and said, Good master, what shall I do, that I receive everlasting life?
18 And Jesus said to him, What sayest thou that I am good? There is no man good, but God himself, or None is good, no but God alone.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, do thou none adultery, slay not, steal not, say not false witnessing, do no fraud, worship thy father and thy mother.
20 And he answered, and said to him, Master, I have kept all these things from my youth.
21 And Jesus beheld him, and loved him, and said to him, One thing faileth to thee; go thou, and sell all things that thou hast, and give to poor men, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, pursue thou me.
22 And he was full sorry or made sorrowful in the word, and went away mourning, for he had many possessions.
23 And Jesus beheld about, and said to his disciples, How hard they that have riches or money shall enter into the kingdom of God.
24 And the disciples were astonied in his words. And Jesus again answered, and said to them, Ye little children or Little sons, how hard it is for men that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 It is lighter a camel to pass through a needle’s eye or It is easier that a camel pass through a needle’s eye, than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they wondered more, and said among themselves, And who may be saved?
27 And Jesus beheld them, and said, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things be possible with God.
28 And Peter began to say to him, Lo! we have left all things, and have pursued thee.
29 Jesus answered, and said, Truly I say to you, there is no man that leaveth house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or fields for me and for the gospel,
30 which shall not take an hundredfold so much now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the world to coming or to come everlasting life.
31 But many shall be, the first the last, and the last the first.

Luk 18:18–30

18 And a prince asked him, and said, Good master, in what thing doing shall I wield everlasting life?
19 And Jesus said to him, What sayest thou me good? No man is good, but God alone.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt not slay, Thou shalt not do lechery, Thou shalt not do theft, Thou shalt not say false witnessing, Worship thy father and thy mother.
21 Which said, I have kept all these things from my youth.
22 And when this thing was heard, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing faileth to thee; sell thou all things that thou hast, and give to poor men, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, and pursue thou me.
23 And when these things were heard, he was sorrowful, for he was full rich.
24 And Jesus seeing him made sorry or made sorrowful said, How hard they that have money or riches shall enter into the kingdom of God;
25 for it is lighter or easier, a camel to pass through a needle’s eye, than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And they that heard these things said, Who may be made safe?
27 And he said to them, Those things that be impossible with men, be possible with God.
28 But Peter said, Lo! we have left all things, and have pursued thee.
29 And he said to him, Truly I say to you, there is no man that shall forsake house, or father and mother, or brethren, or wife, or children, or fields, for the realm of God,
30 and shall not receive many more things in this time, and in the world to coming or to come everlasting life.
