Recall he threw a fit at the moneychangers and sellers of sacrificial animals.
And In mark 10 (Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me......
Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.) Similar thoughts in Matthew 19
and in Luke 16 we see (But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you got the good things and Lazarus the bad things. It’s not like that here. Here he’s consoled and you’re tormented.)
Also In 2 Corinthians 8("For you know the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich yet for your sakes he became poor so that through his poverty you might become rich.") & beautides
