You possess palaces in the town, fertile acres in the country, ships on the sea, laden with precious things from all quarters of the world.

You possess a thousand slaves.
Your stewards would fill many volumes if they wrote down all that you possess." "Sir, how do you know everything ?" "My friend, your brilliant train spells wealth; but look at the people who follow Me.

They have poor garments but glad souls, they have the Kingdom of God within them.

If you are in earnest, you must give up all you possess." "Give up all I possess ?" "You must give it up and become like these.

Then come to Me, and I will lead you to everlasting life." When Jesus had said that and more, the stranger cast down his head, and slowly stepped back.
