mnt - Mark:10:17-31

mnt@Mark:10:17 @ As he started to go forth into the road, a man came running up to him, and knelt down before him. "Good Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

mnt@Mark:10:18 @ Jesus said to him. "Why do you call me good?No one is good save one, God himself.

mnt@Mark:10:19 @ You know the commandments. Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat, honor your father and mother."

mnt@Mark:10:20 @ "Teacher," he answered, "I have observed all these from my youth."

mnt@Mark:10:21 @ Jesus loved him as he looked at him, and said. "One thing you lack. Go, sell all you have and give to the poor; and you shall have wealth in heaven; and come, follow me."

mnt@Mark:10:22 @ But his face fell at these words, and he went away saddened, for he was one who had great wealth.

mnt@Mark:10:23 @ Then Jesus looked round on his disciples and said, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!"

mnt@Mark:10:24 @ The disciples were amazed at his words. Jesus looked around and said again to them.

mnt@Mark:10:25 @ "My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in money to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

mnt@Mark:10:26 @ "Then who can be saved?" they said to themselves astonished beyond measure.

mnt@Mark:10:27 @ When he had looked at them, Jesus said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God."

mnt@Mark:10:28 @ "But we," Peter began to say, "we have left our all and have followed you."

mnt@Mark:10:29 @ "I tell you solemnly," said Jesus, "that there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake and the gospels,

mnt@Mark:10:30 @ but shall receive a hundred times as much, now in this present world, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands-and persecutions with them - and in the world to come eternal life.

mnt@Mark:10:31 @ But many who are first shall be last, and the last, first."
