Discovery BoxMark 10:21 
Context10:21 As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for him and said, “You lack one thing. Go, sell whatever you have and give the money 1 to the poor, and you will have treasure 2 in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
Mark 10:23
Context10:23 Then 3 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
1 tn The words “the money” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
2 sn The call for sacrifice comes with a promise of eternal reward: You will have treasure in heaven. Jesus’ call is a test to see how responsive the man is to God’s direction through him. Will he walk the path God’s agent calls him to walk? For a rich person who got it right, see Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10.
3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
