The following is from the Richard Lattimore translation of the Gospel of St. Mark, believed to have been written about A.D. 64, and the earliest of the Four Gospels:

As he set forth on his way, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him: Good master, what must I do to inherit life everlasting? Jesus answered: Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and your mother. He said to him: Master, I have kept all these commandments from my youth. Jesus looked at him with affection and said: One thing you lack: go sell all you have and give it to the poor, and you shall have a treasury in heaven, and come and follow me. He was downcast at that saying and went sadly away, for he was one who had many possessions. Jesus looked around at his disciples and said: How hard it will be for those with money to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

I guess for us Silicon Investors we can take heart that He did not say it would be impossible.
