Luke 18:26-36

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.
32 He will be handed over to the Gentiles. He will be ridiculed, mistreated, and spit on.
33 After torturing him, they will kill him. On the third day, he will rise up."
34 But the Twelve understood none of these words. The meaning of this message was hidden from them and they didn't grasp what he was saying.

36 When the man heard the crowd passing by, he asked what was happening.
