Luke 18:21-31

21 Then the ruler said, "I've kept all of these things since I was a boy."
22 When Jesus heard this, he said, " There's one more thing. Sell everything you own and distribute the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me."
23 When he heard these words, the man became sad because he was extremely rich.
24 When Jesus saw this, he said, " It's very hard for the wealthy to enter God's kingdom!
25 It's easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God's kingdom."
26 Those who heard this said, "Then who can be saved?"
27 Jesus replied, " What is impossible for humans is possible for God."
28 Peter said, "Look, we left everything we own and followed you."
29 Jesus said to them, " I assure you that anyone who has left house, husband, wife, brothers, sisters, parents, or children because of God's kingdom
30 will receive many times more in this age and eternal life in the coming age."

Jesus predicts his death and resurrection

31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and said, " Look, we're going up to Jerusalem, and everything written about the Human One by the prophets will be accomplished.
