聖馬爾谷福音 10:17-30
那時候，耶穌正要起程，有一個人跑來，跪在耶穌面前，問他說：「善師，為承受永生，我該做什麼？」
耶穌對他說：「你為什麼稱我善？除了天主一個外，沒有誰是善的。誡命你都知道：不可殺人，不可姦淫，不可偷盜，不可做假見證，不可欺詐，應孝敬你的父母。」
那人回答耶穌說：「師父！這一切我從小就都遵守了。」
耶穌注視著他，就喜愛他，對他說：「你還缺少一樣：你去，變賣你所有的一切，施捨給窮人，你必有寶藏在天上，然後來，背著十字架，跟隨我！」那人聽了這番話，就面帶愁容，憂鬱地走了，因為他有許多產業。
耶穌向四周一看，對自己的門徒說：「那些有錢財的人，進入天主的國，是多麼難啊！」門徒就都驚奇耶穌這句話。
耶穌又對他們說：「孩子們！依恃錢財的人，進入天主的國，是多麼難啊！駱駝穿過針孔，比富有的人，進入天主的國，還容易。」
門徒就更加驚奇，彼此說：「這樣，誰還能得救？」耶穌注視他們說：「為人不可能，為天主卻不然，因為在天主，一切都是可能的。」
伯多祿開口對耶穌說：「看，我們捨棄了一切，來跟隨了你。」
耶穌回答說：「我實在告訴你們：人為了我，為了福音，而捨棄了房屋、或兄弟、或姊妹、或母親、或父親、或兒女、或田地，沒有不在今生就獲得百倍的房屋、兄弟、姊妹、母親、兒女、田地──連迫害也在內，並要在來世獲得永生。」
Gospel according to Mark (10:17-30)
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father you’re your mother.” He replied and said to Jesus, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.” Peter began to say to him, “We have given up everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.”
