Matthew 19
20 The young man said to him, I have kept all these; what do I still lack? 21 Jesus said to him, If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money[c] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me. 22 When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
