Mark 10:17–30

^17hAnd when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and ⁱkneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? ¹⁸And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. ¹⁹Thou knowest the commandments, ^kDo not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, ^lDefraud not, ^kHonour thy father and mother. ²⁰And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. ²¹Then Jesus ^mbeholding 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, ⁿtake up the cross, and follow me. ²²And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

²³And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁴And the disciples ^owere astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that ^ptrust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵It 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. ²⁶And they were ^qastonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? ²⁷And Jesus ^mlooking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

²⁸Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. ²⁹And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, ³⁰But he shall receive an hundredfold ^rnow in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, ^swith persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
