# Connecting Statement:

Jesus explains to his disciples the rewards of giving up material possessions and relationships to follow him.

# Truly I say to you

"I tell you the truth." This phrase adds emphasis to what Jesus says next.

# to enter the kingdom of heaven

Here "kingdom of heaven" refers to God's rule as king. This phrase is found only in the book of Matthew. If possible, keep "heaven" in your translation. Alternate translation: "to accept our God in heaven as their king" or "to enter God's kingdom" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
