And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; It was well known to them all that the crisis of our Saviour’s history was close at hand and a sort of indefinable dread was upon them all. The bravest spirit in the whole company was their blessed Lord and Master. He knew that he was going up to Jerusalem to die, so you may view him as the Sacrifice...

And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. Strange request!

They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. There was, undoubtedly, much that was wrong about this request, and you have often heard that view of the matter dwelt upon, so I will call your attention to that which was right about it. These disciples showed their faith that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: Has the Lord ever said to us, when we have been praying, “Ye know not what ye ask”?
