Mark 10: 17 - 27
|
| 17 | And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
| 18 | And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. |
| 19 | You know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'" |
| 20 | And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth." |
| 21 | And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." |
| 22 | At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. |
| 23 | And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!" |
| 24 | And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! |
| 25 | It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." |
| 26 | And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, "Then who can be saved?" |
| 27 | Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." |
