Elijah passed by him and threw his robe over him.He left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said,“ Please let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, then I will follow you.” Elijah said to him,“ Go back! Indeed, what have I done to you?”Elisha went back and took his pair of oxen and slaughtered them. He cooked the meat over a fire that he made by burning the harness and yoke. He gave the people meat and they ate. Then he got up and followed Elijah and became his assistant.

But when the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he was very rich.Then Jesus said to his disciples,“ I tell you the truth, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!Again I say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.”The disciples were greatly astonished when they heard this and said,“ Then who can be saved?”Jesus looked at them and replied,“ This is impossible for mere humans, but for God all things are possible.”Then Peter said to him,“ Look, we have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”
