24 Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt!

25 facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.

26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri?

27 Ait illis: Quae impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.

28 Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.

29 Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,

30 et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in saeculo venturo vitam aeternam.

31 Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quae scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis:

32 tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:

33 et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.

34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quae dicebantur.

35 Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, caecus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.

36 Et cum audiret turbam praetereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.

37 Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.

38 Et clamavit, dicens: Jesu, fili David, miserere mei.

39 Et qui praeibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David, miserere mei.

40 Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,

41 dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine, ut videam.

42 Et Jesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.

43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.

24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!(A) 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”(B)

28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”(C)

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come(D) eternal life.”(E)

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(F)

31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem,(G) and everything that is written by the prophets(H) about the Son of Man(I) will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles.(J) They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him(K) and kill him.(L) On the third day(M) he will rise again.”(N)

34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.(O)

A Blind Beggar Receives His Sight(P)

35 As Jesus approached Jericho,(Q) a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”(R)

38 He called out, “Jesus, Son of David,(S) have mercy(T) on me!”

39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”(U)

40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?”

“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.

42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”(V) 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.(W)
