Mark:10:17-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Jesus started on the way again .
A man came running and kneeled down before him .
He said ,
Good Teacher ,
what must I do so that I will live for ever ?
*
Jesus said ,
Why do you call me good ?
Only God is good .
*
You know the laws : "
Do not commit adultery .
Do not kill .
Do not steal .
Do not tell lies .
Do not cheat .
Respect your father and your mother ."
*
The man answered Jesus .
He said ,
Teacher ,
I have kept all those laws since I was a boy .
*
Jesus looked at him .
He loved him .
He said ,
You need one thing more .
Go home .
Sell everything you have .
Give the money to the poor people .
You will be rich in heaven .
So be ready to carry your own cross and come with me .
*
When the young man heard that ,
he was sad ,
because he was very rich .
So he went away .
*
Then Jesus looked around at his disciples and said to them ,
It is very hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God .
*
The disciples were surprised at his words .
But Jesus said again ,
Children ,
it is very hard for people who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God .
*
It is easier for a big animal to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God .
*
They were very much surprised .
They said ,
Then who can be saved ?
*
Jesus looked at them and said ,
Men cannot do it but God can ,
because God can do anything .
*
Peter began to speak and said to him ,
See ,
we have left all things and have come with you .

Jesus said ,
I tell you the truth .
If any man has left his house ,
or his brothers ,
or his sisters ,
his mother ,
or his father ,
or his children ,
or farms ,
for my sake and for the sake of the good news ,
he will receive his pay in this life .
He will have a hundred times as many houses ,
and brothers ,
and sisters ,
and mothers ,
and children ,
and farms .
He will have trouble also .
But in the next world he will live for ever .
*
But many people who are first will be last ,
and those who are last will be first .
