26. Those who heard him asked, “Who, then, can be saved?”
27. Jesus said, “The things that are impossible for people to do are possible for God to do.”
28. Then Peter said, “We’ve left everything to follow you.”
29. Jesus said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: Anyone who gave up his home, wife, brothers, parents, or children because of the kingdom of God
30. will certainly receive many times as much in this life and will receive eternal life in the world to come.”
31. Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said to them, “We’re going to Jerusalem. Everything that the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will come true.
32. He will be handed over to foreigners. They will make fun of him, insult him, spit on him,
33. whip him, and kill him. But on the third day he will come back to life.”
34. But they didn’t understand any of this. What he said was a mystery to them, and they didn’t know what he meant.
