Go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.” See also: Matthew 6:19-21Revelation 2:41 Timothy 6:17-19But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom! See also: Proverbs 11:28James 5:1-31 Timothy 6:17It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.” See also: Matthew 19:24-25Luke 18:25Matthew 23:24They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?” See also: Acts 16:31Romans 10:9-132 Corinthians 11:23Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.” See also: Jeremiah 32:27Matthew 19:26Job 42:2Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all and have followed you.” See also: Matthew 19:27-30Mark 1:16-20Luke 14:33Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, See also: 1 Corinthians 9:23Matthew 5:10-11Revelation 2:3but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life. See also: Philippians 3:8Luke 18:302 Corinthians 6:10But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” See also: Matthew 19:30Luke 13:30Matthew 20:16They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid.

Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” See also: Luke 12:50Matthew 20:21-22John 18:11They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; See also: Revelation 1:9Acts 12:2John 17:14but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.” See also: Matthew 20:23Matthew 25:34John 17:24When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John. See also: Matthew 20:24Romans 12:10Proverbs 13:10Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Mark 10:4
Ver. 4. Moses permitted the injured husband to send away his wife, declaring that he had repudiated her. See Deut. xxiv. 1.

↑ 7Mark 10:14
Ver. 14. Unless we are possessed of the innocence and purity of little children, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. By the kingdom of heaven, we may here understand the truths of the gospel; for as a child never contradicts its teachers, nor opposes to them vain reasonings and empty words, but faithfully and readily receives their instructions, and with fear obeys them; so must we implicitly obey, and without any, the least, opposition, receive the word of the Lord. Ven. Bede.

Ver. 20. We must recollect, that to the faithful observers of the Mosaic law, not only present goods were given, but the happiness of a future life promised.

↑ 20Mark 10:21
Ver. 21. Loved him. We need understand no more by this, than that Christ gave him some marks of his tenderness for him, and for all men by his kind instructions, and invitations to a good and perfect life. Wi. — It is worthy of inquiry, how that could happen which the evangelist here mentions, how Jesus could love this young man; when, as it is here related, he did not follow the admonitions given him by Jesus Christ. The reason is, Christ loved him for his past behaviour, and his strict observance of the old law. S. Chrys. in S. Thom.
Cat. aur.
↑ 21Mark 10:28
Ver. 28. Although S. Peter had left but few things, he still calls them his all. For small things have power of attaching us to them, and of exciting our passions; therefore he that forsakes his small possessions, shall be a partaker of the blessings of Jesus Christ. Theophylactus.

Ven. Bede. — In this worse than Cimmerian darkness, how few are found, who pray as they ought for this all-necessary light of faith!!!
