Markus 10: The parable of the rich man

back

A rich man asked Jesus, “What must I do to live forever?“ Jesus asked him if he knew the Ten Commandments. The man answered, “I have followed them all my life.“ Jesus looked at him fondly and said, “You still lack one thing. Sell your possessions and give the money to the poor. Follow me and you will find treasure in heaven.” This troubled the man, because he was very wealthy. Jesus then said, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. “
