Mark 10:22-34 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. But he went away grieving, having been greatly saddened by the word. For he had many possessions.

23. And Jesus, looking around, said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!"

24. And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus, answering again, said to them: "Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God!

25. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God."

26. And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, "Who, then, can be saved?"

27. And Jesus, gazing at them, said: "With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible."

28. And Peter began to say to him, "Behold, we have left all things and have followed you."

29. In response, Jesus said: "Amen I say to you, There is no one who has left behind house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or land, for my sake and for the Gospel,

30. who will not receive one hundred times as much, now in this time: houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land, with persecutions, and in the future age eternal life.

31. But many of the first shall be last, and the last shall be first."

32. Now they were on the way ascending to Jerusalem. And Jesus went ahead of them, and they were astonished. And those following him were afraid. And again, taking aside the twelve, he began to tell them what was about to happen to him.

33. "For behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be handed over to the leaders of the priests, and to the scribes, and the elders. And they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles.

34. And they will mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and put him to death. And on the third day, he will rise again."
