22 And Jesus having heard these, said to him, Yet one thing fails thee: all whatever thou hast, sell and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23 And he having heard these things, was sorely grieved: for he was very rich. 24 And Jesus having seen him being sorely grieved, said, With how much difficulty shall they having possessions come into the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to come through the hole of a needle, than for a rich one to come into the kingdom of God. 26 And they having heard, said, And who can be saved? 27 And he said, The things impossible with men, are possible with God. 28 And Peter said, Behold, we have left all, and followed thee. 29 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, That there is none who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for sake of the kingdom of God, 30 Who should not receive many fold in this time, and in life coming, eternal life. 31 And taking the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets shall be completed to the Son of man. 32 For he shall be delivered to the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon: 33 And having scourged, they shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise. 34 And they understood nothing of these things: and this word was hidden from them, and they discerned not the things spoken. 35 And it was in his drawing near to Jericho, a certain blind sat by the way, begging: 36 And having heard the multitude passing by, he inquired what this might be. 37 And they announced to him, That Jesus the Nazarite passes by. 38 And he cried out, saying, Jesus, son of David, pity me. 39 And they going before censured him, that he be silent: and he so much the more cried out, O son of David, pity me. 40 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to him: and he having drawn near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I might see again. 42 And Jesus said to him, See again: thy faith has saved thee. 43 And he immediately saw again, and followed him, honouring God: and all the people having seen, gave praise to God.
