24. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly will they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25. For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26. And they that heard it, said, Who then can be saved?
27. Then he said, The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28. Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29. And he said to them, Verily I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
30. Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

32. For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spitted on;
33. And they will scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he will rise again.
34. And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35. And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging;

37. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39. And they who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40. And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him,
41. Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
