Mark 10:17-27
17) As he was going forth into the way, one ran to him, kneeled to him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
18) Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one -- God.
19) You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,‘ ‘Do not commit adultery,‘ ‘Do not steal,‘ ‘Do not give false testimony,‘ ‘Do not defraud,‘ ‘Honor your father and mother.‘"
20) He said to him, "Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth."
21) Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."
22) But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
23) Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!"
24) The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, "Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25) It is easier for a camel to go through the needle‘s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
26) They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, "Then who can be saved?"
27) Jesus, looking at them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."
