Mark 10:17-27

17AsG2532 Jesus startedG1607 onG1519 HisG846 wayG3598, a man ran upG4370 andG2532 knelt beforeG1120 HimG846. “GoodG18 TeacherG1320,” he askedG1905, “whatG5101 must I doG4160 toG2443 inheritG2816 eternalG166 lifeG2222?”

18“WhyG5101 do you callG3004 MeG1473 goodG18?” JesusG2424 repliedG2036. “No oneG3762 is goodG18 exceptG1487G3361 GodG2316 aloneG1520. 19You knowG1492 theG3588 commandmentsG1785: ‘Do notG3361 murderG5407, do notG3361 commit adulteryG3431, do notG3361 stealG2813, do notG3361 bear false witnessG5576, do notG3361 cheatG650 others, honorG5091 yourG4771 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384.’1”

20“TeacherG1320,” he repliedG5346, “allG3956 theseG3778 I have keptG5442 fromG1537 myG1473 youthG3503.”

21

JesusG2424 looked atG1689 himG846, lovedG25 himG846, andG2532 saidG2036 to himG846, “There is one thingG1520 youG4771 lackG5302: GoG5217, sellG4453 everythingG3745 you ownG2192 andG2532 giveG1325 to theG3588 poorG4434, andG2532 you will haveG2192 treasureG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772. ThenG2532 comeG1204, followG190 MeG1473.2”

22ButG1161 the man was saddenedG4768 byG1909 these wordsG3056 and went awayG565 in sorrowG3076, becauseG1063 he hadG1510G2192 greatG4183 wealthG2933.

23ThenG2532 JesusG2424 looked aroundG4017 and said toG3004 HisG846 disciplesG3101, “HowG4459 hard it isG1423 for theG3588 richG2192G3588G5536 to enterG1525G1519 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316!”

24AndG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 were amazedG2284 atG1909 HisG846 wordsG3056.

ButG1161 JesusG2424 saidG611G3004 to themG846 againG3825, “ChildrenG5043, howG4459 hardG1422 it isG1510 to enterG15253 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316! 25It isG1510 easierG2123 for a camelG2574 to passG1330 throughG1223 theG3588 eyeG5168 of aG3588 needleG4476 thanG2228 for a rich manG4145 to enterG1525G1519 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316.”

26

They were even more astonishedG4057G1605 and saidG3004 toG4314 one anotherG1438, “WhoG5101 thenG2532 canG1410 be savedG4982?”

27

JesusG2424 looked atG1689 themG846 and saidG3004, “WithG3844 manG444 this is impossibleG102, butG235 notG3756 withG3844 GodG2316. ForG1063 all thingsG3956 are possibleG1415 withG3844 GodG2316.”
