Luke 18:24-34

24Jesus looked at him and said, “How difficult it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!

25For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man [who places his faith in wealth or status] to enter the kingdom of God.”

26And those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”

27But He said, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.”

28Peter said, “Look, we have left all [things—homes, families, businesses] and followed You.”

29And He said to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,

30who will not receive many times as much in this present age and in the age to come, eternal life.”

31Then taking the twelve [disciples] aside, He said to them, “Listen carefully: we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that have been written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled and completed.

32He will be betrayed and handed over to the Gentiles (Roman authorities), and will be mocked and ridiculed and insulted and abused and spit on,

33and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and on the third day He will rise [from the dead].”

34But the disciples understood none of these things [about the approaching death and resurrection of Jesus]. This statement was hidden from them, and they did not grasp the [meaning of the] things that were said [by Jesus].
