Mark 10:24-32

24The disciples were astonished at these words. But again Jesus said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

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

26They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Then who can be saved?”

27Jesus looked at them and replied, “This is impossible for mere humans, but not for God; all things are possible for God.”

28Peter began to speak to him, “Look, we have left everything to follow you!”

29Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel

30who will not receive in this age a hundred times as much – homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, fields, all with persecutions – and in the age to come, eternal life.

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

32They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him.
