Luke 18:21-42

²¹And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.”

²²Well upon hearing these things Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

²³But when he heard this he became very sad, because he was extremely rich.

²⁴When Jesus saw that he became sad, He said: “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God!

²⁵It is actually easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”

²⁶So the hearers said, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁷And He said, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”

²⁸Then Peter said, “Notice that we have left all and followed you!”

²⁹So He said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,

³⁰who will not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”

³¹Then He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of the Man will be fulfilled:

³²He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon,

³³and they will scourge and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”

³⁴But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.

³⁵Then it happened, as He approached Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting alongside the road begging.

³⁶Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was.

³⁷So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by.

³⁸Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

³⁹Those who led the way started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁰So Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to Him. When he got close He asked him, saying,

⁴¹“What do you want me to do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see again!”

⁴²Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”
