Mark 10:21

Mark 10:21

19 You know the commandments: ^a‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”

20 And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have ^akept from my youth.”

21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, ^asell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have ^btreasure in heaven; and come, ^ctake up the cross, and follow Me.”

22 But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

With God All Things Are Possible

23 ^aThen Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is¹ for those ^awho trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a ^arich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?”

27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not ^awith God; for with God all things are possible.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Mark 10:20

Mark 10:22 >>

Jesus looking upon him - And looking into his heart, loved him - Doubtless for the dawnings of good which he saw in him: and said to him - Out of tender love, One thing thou lackest - The love of God, without which all religion is a dead carcass. In order to this, throw away what is to thee the grand hinderance of it. Give up thy great idol, riches. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast.
