Mark 10:24-32

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.”

26This amazed his disciples more than ever. They asked each other, “Who, then, can be saved?”

27Jesus looked at them and said, “It’s impossible for people ⌞to save themselves⌟, but it’s not impossible for God to save them. Everything is possible for God.”

28Then Peter spoke up, “We’ve given up everything to follow you.”

29Jesus said, “I can guarantee this truth: Anyone who gave up his home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or fields because of me and the Good News

30will certainly receive a hundred times as much here in this life. They will certainly receive homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields, along with persecutions. But in the world to come they will receive eternal life.

31But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”

32Jesus and his disciples were on their way to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking ahead of them. His disciples were shocked ⌞that he was going to Jerusalem⌟. The others who followed were afraid. Once again he took the twelve apostles aside. He began to tell them what was going to happen to him.
