Mark 10:17-25

17As Jesus was coming out to the road, a man came running to him and knelt in front of him. He asked Jesus, “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”

18Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

19You know the commandments: Never murder. Never commit adultery. Never steal. Never give false testimony. Never cheat. Honor your father and mother.”

20The man replied, “Teacher, I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was a boy.”

21Jesus looked at him and loved him. He told him, “You’re still missing one thing. Sell everything you have. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!”

22When the man heard that, he looked unhappy and went away sad, because he owned a lot of property.

23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for rich people to enter God’s kingdom!”

24The disciples were stunned by his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter God’s kingdom!

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