Luke 18:24-34

24Jesus watched him and said, “How hard it is for rich people to enter God’s kingdom!

25Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.”

26Those who heard him asked, “Who, then, can be saved?”

27Jesus said, “The things that are impossible for people to do are possible for God to do.”

28Then Peter said, “We’ve left everything to follow you.”

29Jesus said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: Anyone who gave up his home, wife, brothers, parents, or children because of God’s kingdom

30will certainly receive many times as much in this life and will receive eternal life in the world to come.”

31Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said to them, “We’re going to Jerusalem. Everything that the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will come true.

32He will be handed over to foreigners. They will make fun of him, insult him, spit on him,

33whip him, and kill him. But on the third day he will come back to life.”

34But they didn’t understand any of this. What he said was a mystery to them, and they didn’t know what he meant.
