20You know the commandments: do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.”
21“I've kept all these commandments since I was young,” the man replied.
22When Jesus heard this he told the man, “You still lack one thing. Go and sell all you have, give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
23But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very wealthy.
24When he saw his reaction, Jesus said, “How difficult it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26Those who heard this wondered, “Who can be saved then?”
27Jesus replied, “What is impossible in human terms is possible for God.”
28Peter said, “We left everything to follow you!”
29“I tell you the truth,” Jesus told them, “anybody who leaves behind their home, wife, brothers, parents, or children for the sake of God's kingdom
30will receive so much more in this life, and eternal life in the world to come.”
31Jesus took the twelve disciples aside, and told them, “We're going to Jerusalem, and all that the prophets wrote about the Son of man will be fulfilled.
32He will be handed over to the foreigners he will be mocked, insulted, and spat upon.
33They will flog him and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.”
34But they didn't understand anything Jesus told them. The meaning was hidden from them and they didn't grasp what he was talking about.
35As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting beside the road begging.
36He heard the crowd going past, so he asked what was happening.
37They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
38He called out, “Jesus, son of David, please have mercy on me!”
39Those at the front of the crowd told him to stop shouting and be quiet, but he only shouted louder, “Son of David, please have mercy on me!”
40Jesus stopped and told them to bring the blind man to him. As he came over, Jesus asked him,
41“What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, please, I want to see,” he pleaded.
42“Then see!” Jesus told him. “Your trust in me has healed you.”
43Immediately the man could see. He followed Jesus, praising God. Everyone there who saw what happened also praised God.
