Mark 10:17-30

Riverside(i) 17 While he was going out into the road, a man came running and knelt before him and asked, "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?" 18 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and thy mother.' 20 He answered, "Teacher, all these I have kept from my boyhood." 21 Jesus looking at him loved him and said to him, "One thing you lack. Go sell all that you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come follow me." 22 But his face darkened at that reply, and he went away grieved, for he had great possessions. 23 Then Jesus, looking around on his disciples, said, "With what difficulty will those who have wealth enter the kingdom of God!" 24 The disciples were astonished at his words. Jesus spoke again and said, "Children, how difficult 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 They were amazed beyond measure and said to one another, "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." 28 Peter began, "Well, we have left everything and have followed you." 29 Jesus said, "I tell you truly there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the good news, 30 who will not receive a hundred fold more now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the world to come life eternal.
