And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful,
He said, How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter the
kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Those who heard this asked, Who then can be saved? Jesus answered, The
things which are not possible for men are possible for God. And Peter
said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. Jesus said to them,
Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or parents,
or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, who
shall not receive a great reward in this present time and in life
everlasting.
Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, Behold, we are
going up to Jerusalem where all things that are written by the
prophets about the Son of man will be accomplished. He shall be
delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully
treated, and spit on. They will scourge Him and put Him to death. And,
on the third day, He shall rise again.
And it came to pass, as He was near Jericho, a blind man sat begging
by the wayside. When he was told that Jesus was passing by, he cried,
Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. When some told him to hold
his peace, he cried out again, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
