The Holy Gospel According to Mark 10: 17-30

10:17 And when he had departed on the way, a certain one, running up and kneeling before him, asked him, "Καλός δάσκαλος, what shall I do, so that I may secure eternal life?”
10:18 But Jesus said to him, “Why call me good? No one is good except the one God.
10:19 You know the precepts: “Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not speak false testimony. Do not deceive. Honor your father and mother.”
10:20 Αλλά ως απάντηση, he said to him, "Δάσκαλος, all these I have observed from my youth.”
10:21 Τότε ο Ιησούς, κοιτάζοντάς τον, loved him, και του είπε: “One thing is lacking to you. Πηγαίνω, sell whatever you have, και δώστε στους φτωχούς, και τότε θα έχεις θησαυρό στον παράδεισο. Και έλα, Ακολούθησέ με."
10:22 But he went away grieving, having been greatly saddened by the word. For he had many possessions.
10:23 Και ο Ιησούς, looking around, said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!”
10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. Αλλά ο Ιησούς, answering again, τους είπε: “Little sons, how difficult it is for those who trust in money to enter into the kingdom of God!
10:25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God.”
10:26 And they wondered even more, saying among themselves, “Who, έπειτα, can be saved?”
10:27 Και ο Ιησούς, κοιτάζοντάς τους, είπε: “With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible.”
10:28 And Peter began to say to him, "Βλέπω, we have left all things and have followed you.”
10:29 In response, Jesus said: «Αμήν σας λέω, There is no one who has left behind house, ή αδέρφια, ή αδερφές, ή πατέρας, ή μητέρα, ή παιδιά, ή γη, for my sake and for the Gospel,
10:30 who will not receive one hundred times as much, now in this time: houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land, with persecutions, and in the future age eternal life.
