Mark 10:17-31

The Rich Young Man

17 aAnd as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and bknelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to cinherit eternal life?” 18And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19You know the commandments: d‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 20And he said to him, “Teacher, eall these I have kept from my youth.” 21And Jesus, flooking at him, gloved him, and said to him, You lack one thing: go, hsell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have itreasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 jDisheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23And Jesus klooked around and said to his disciples, lHow difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter mthe kingdom of God!” 24And the disciples nwere amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, oChildren, phow difficult it is

to enter rthe kingdom of God!
25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter sthe kingdom of God.” 26And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him,

Then who can be saved?”
27Jesus ulooked at them and said, vWith man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” 28Peter began to say to him, “See, wwe have left everything and followed you.” 29Jesus said, Truly, I say to you, xthere is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and yfor the gospel, 30who will not receive a hundredfold znow in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, aawith persecutions, and in abthe age to come eternal life. 31But acmany who are first will be last, and the last first.”

The Rich Ruler

18 adAnd a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to aeinherit eternal life?” 19And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 20You know the commandments: af‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.’” 21And he said, agAll these I have kept from my youth.” 22When Jesus heard this, he said to him, One thing you still lack. ahSell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have aitreasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 23 ajBut when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. 24Jesus, seeing that he had become sad, said, akHow difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter althe kingdom of God! 25For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter amthe kingdom of God.” 26Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?” 27But he said, an“What is impossible with man is possible with God.” 28And Peter said, “See, aowe have left our homes and followed you.” 29And he said to them, Truly, I say to you, apthere is no one who has left house or wife or brothers
Or  wife or brothers and sisters
or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
30who will not receive armany times more asin this time, and in atthe age to come eternal life.”
