Gospel
Mark 10: 17-27
17The Rich Man. As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
19You know the commandments: ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.’”
20He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.”
21Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to [the] poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
22At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!”
24The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
25It is easier for a camel to pass through [the] eye of [a] needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
26They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?”
27Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.”
