2. Mark 10:17-31 (NIV)
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to
him and fell on his knees before him. "Good
teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit
eternal life?" "Why do you call me good?"
Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God
alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not
murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal,
do not give false testimony, do not defraud,

3. Mark 10:17-31 (NIV)
honor your father and mother.'" "Teacher," he
declared, "all these I have kept since I was a
boy." Jesus looked at him and loved him.
"One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell
everything you have and give to the poor, and
you will have treasure in heaven. Then come,
follow me." At this the man's face fell. He
went away sad, because he had great

4. Mark 10:17-31 (NIV)
wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his
disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter
the kingdom of God!" The disciples were
amazed at his words. But Jesus said again,
"Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom
of God! It is easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle than for a rich man to
enter the kingdom of God." The disciples

5. Mark 10:17-31 (NIV)
were even more amazed, and said to each
other, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus
looked at them and said, "With man this is
impossible, but not with God; all things are
possible with God." Peter said to him, "We
have left everything to follow you!" "I tell you
the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left
home or brothers or sisters or mother or

6. Mark 10:17-31 (NIV)
father or children or fields for me and the
gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as
much in this present age (homes, brothers,
sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with
them, persecutions) and in the age to come,
eternal life. But many who are first will be
last, and the last first."
