New Testament in a Year
24 And Jesus seeing him made sorry, said, How hard they that have money shall enter into the kingdom of God; [Soothly Jesus seeing him made sorrowful said, How hard they that have riches shall enter into the realm of God;]
25 for it is lighter a camel to pass through a needle's eye, than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [forsooth it is easier a camel to pass through a needle's eye, than a rich man for to enter into the kingdom of God.]
26 And they that heard these things said, [And] Who may be made safe?
27 And he said to them, Those things that be impossible with men, be possible with God.
28 But Peter said, Lo! we have left all things, and have followed thee [and follow thee].
29 And he said to him, Truly I say to you, there is no man that shall forsake house, or father and mother, or brethren, or wife, or children, or fields, for the realm of God,
30 and shall not receive many more things in this time, and in the world to coming everlasting life [and in the world to come everlasting life].
31 And Jesus took his twelve disciples, and said to them, Lo! we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be ended, that be written by the prophets of man's Son.
32 For he shall be betrayed to heathen men, and he shall be scorned, and scourged, and bespat;
33 and after that they have scourged him, they shall slay him, and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood nothing of these; and this word was hid from them, and they understood not those things that were said.
35 But it was done, when Jesus came nigh to Jericho, a blind man sat beside the way, and begged [some blind man sat beside the way begging].
36 And when he heard the people passing [And when he heard the company of people passing], he asked, what this was.
37 And they said to him, that Jesus of Nazareth passed.
38 And he cried, and said [saying], Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And they that went before blamed him, that he should be still; but he cried much the more [soothly he cried much more], Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought forth to him. And when he came nigh, he asked him, and said [saying],
41 What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I see.
42 And Jesus said to him, Behold; thy faith hath made thee safe.
43 And at once he saw, and followed him, and magnified God [And anon he saw, and followed him, magnifying God]. And all the people, as it saw [that it saw], gave praising to God.
