New Testament in a Year
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How difficult it is for those that have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier to put a cable through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 And those that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Then Peter said, Behold, we have left all and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no one that has left house or parents or brethren or wife or children for the kingdom of God’s sake
30 who shall not receive manifold more in this present time and in the age to come, eternal life.
31 ¶ Then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked and spitefully treated and spitted on;
33 and they shall scourge him and put him to death, but the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they did not know what was said.
35 ¶ And it came to pass that as he came near unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the way begging,
36 and hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what this might be.
37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
38 And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And those who went before rebuked him that he should remain silent; but he cried out so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought unto him, and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.
42 And Jesus said unto him, See; thy faith has saved thee.
43 And immediately he saw and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
