Mark 10:23-32

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God?

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶ Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved?

²⁷ And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

²⁸ And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.

²⁹ Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the gospel,

³⁰ Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.

³¹ But many that are first, shall be last: and the last, first.

³² And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them, and they were astonished; and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him.
