23 And Jesus (A)looked around and said to his disciples, (B)“How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter (C)the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples (D)were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, (E)“Children, (F)how difficult it is[a] to enter (G)the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter (H)the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him,[b] “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus (I)looked at them and said, (J)“With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” 28 Peter began to say to him, “See, (K)we have left everything and followed you.” 29 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, (L)there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and (M)for the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold (N)now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, (O)with persecutions, and in (P)the age to come eternal life. 31 But (Q)many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich(A) to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[a] to enter the kingdom of God!(B) 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.”(C)

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.”(D)

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(F) in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come(G) eternal life.(H) 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”(I)

  1. Mark 10:24 Some manuscripts is for those who trust in riches

23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto 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 answereth again, and saith unto 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 go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

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

28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

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