Context of Mark 10:22
20And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth. 21And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, [taking up the cross]. But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions. 23And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24And the disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter into the kingdom of God!
