23. Then Jesus, looking around, said unto his disciples, How hardly shall those that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24. And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again and said unto them, Children, how hard is it for those that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25. It is easier to pass a cable through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26. But they were astonished even more, saying in themselves, Who then can save himself?
27. Then Jesus looking upon them said, For men it is impossible, but not for God because all things are possible for God.
28. Then Peter began to say unto him, Behold, we have left all and have followed thee.
29. And answering him, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no one that has left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake and the gospel’s
30. who shall not receive one hundredfold now in this time: houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life.
31. But many of the first shall be last; and of the last first.
32. And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and they followed him with fear. Then, taking the twelve aside again, he began to tell them what things would happen unto him,

36. And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37. They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one at thy right hand and the other at thy left hand in thy glory.
38. Then Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask; can ye drink the cup that I drink? Or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39. And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and of the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized;
40. but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but it shall be given to those for whom it is prepared.
41. And when the ten heard it, they began to be angry against James and John.
42. But Jesus, calling unto them, said unto them, Ye know that those who are seen to be princes among the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those that are great among them wield power over them.
43. But it shall not be like this among you, for whosoever desires to make himself great among you shall be your servant;
