But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is for them [who trust in money] to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for an idle miser to enter into the kingdom of God." They were incredulous, saying to each other, "Who, then, can be saved?" | | Jesus looked around and said to His students, "How unlikely it is that those who have a lot of money will enter the kingdom of God!"

Jesus answered, "Truly I tell you, every man who has left his house, or siblings, or parents, or family, or lands for My sake and the sake of the gospel shall in this life receive a hundred times as much persecution as he gave up in goods. But in the world to come, he shall receive eternal life. Many who are in the first rank will be sent to the last rank, and many in the last shall be brought forward to the first." |

Jesus pulled the twelve Apostles aside and began telling them what to expect next. He said, "Listen carefully: we will arrive in Jerusalem, where the Son as man shall be betrayed and handed over to the leading priests and scribes, who shall condemn Him to death for execution by the Gentiles. They will mock Him, whip Him, spit on Him, and murder Him; yet on the third day He shall rise to life again." |

They requested, "Give us the highest seats of honor in your glory, with one of us at your right hand and the other at your left!" But Jesus replied to them, "You don't know what you're asking. Can you drink the same cup as I, and accept the same baptism that I will endure?" hey replied, "Sure we can." Jesus then told them, "You will drink same cup as I, and be baptized as I will. Alas, the seats on my left and right hands are not for me to distribute. They are destined for others, and will be given to them." |
