possible with God.

followed thee.

left home or parents or brethren or wife or children, for the kingdom
of God's sake,
18:30. Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the
world to come life everlasting.
18:31. Then Jesus took unto him the twelve and said to them: Behold, we
go up to Jerusalem; and all things shall be accomplished which were

and scourged and spit upon.

And the third day he shall rise again.

18:38. And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
18:39. And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his
