Mark 10:25-35

New International Version

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”^(A)

²⁶ The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁷ Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”^(B)

²⁸ Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”^(C)

²⁹ “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel ³⁰ will fail to receive a hundred times as much^(D) in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come^(E) eternal life.^{(F) 31} But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”^(G)

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time^(H)

³² They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve^(I) aside and told them what was going to happen to him. ³³ “We are going up to Jerusalem,”^(J) he said, “and the Son of Man^(K) will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.^(L) They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, ³⁴ who will mock him and spit on him, flog him^(M) and kill him.^(N) Three days later^(O) he will rise.”^(P)

The Request of James and John^(Q)

³⁵ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
