Gospel Reading Today, August 19

Liturgical Day: Tuesday, August 19
Gospel (Mt 19, 23-30): At that time Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you, a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. I repeat, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. "Upon hearing this, the disciples were astonished, saying, "Then who can be saved? '. Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Then Peter answered and said to him, "You see, we have left all and followed thee; What then? Receive. "Jesus said, "I tell you, you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my sake will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. But many that are first shall be last and the last, first. "
