Mark
Mark 10:21–22
21Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.f”
22But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
