Context of Mark 10:22

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!” When 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!
