Luke 18:25-35

25 "For ¹it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

26 They who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?"

27 But He said, "²The things that are impossible with people are possible with God."

28 Peter said, "Behold, ³we have left our own homes and followed You."

29 And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, ⁴there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

30 who will not receive many times as much at this time and in ⁵the age to come, eternal life."

31 ⁶Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, ⁷we are going up to Jerusalem, and ⁸all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

32 "⁹For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,

33 and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again."

34 But ¹⁰the disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.
