Mark 10:25-35

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 They were shocked even more and said to each other, "Then who can be saved?"

27 Jesus looked at them carefully and said, " It's impossible with human beings, but not with God. All things are possible for God."

28 Peter said to him, "Look, we've left everything and followed you."

29 Jesus said, " I assure you that anyone who has left house, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or farms because of me and because of the good news

30 will receive one hundred times as much now in this life—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and farms (with harassment)—and in the coming age, eternal life.

31 But many who are first will be last. And many who are last will be first."

Jesus predicts his death and resurrection

32 Jesus and his disciples were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, with Jesus in the lead. The disciples were amazed while the others following behind were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, he told them what was about to happen to him.

33 " Look!" he said. " We're going up to Jerusalem. The Human One will be handed over to the chief priests and the legal experts. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles.

34 They will ridicule him, spit on him, torture him, and kill him. After three days, he will rise up."

A request from James and John

35 James and John, Zebedee's sons, came to Jesus and said, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask."
