Context of Mark 10:22

20He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth.” 21Looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” But he was dismayed by this demand, and he went away grieving, because he had many possessions. 23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24The disciples were astonished at his words. Again Jesus said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
