Bible Chapter Summary
Mark 10 Summary
The Rich Young Man and True Greatness
A rich young man asks about eternal life and walks away sad because his wealth was his god. Jesus: it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter God kingdom. The disciples ask who then can be saved? With God all things are possible. James and John ask for seats of glory; Jesus redefines greatness as service.
