23052016 Gospel 10:17-27

Just as Jesus was setting out on his journey again, a man ran up, knelt before him and asked, “Good Master, what must I do to have eternal life?”

Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: Do not kill; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not cheat; honor your father and mother.” The man replied, “I have obeyed all these commandments since my childhood.”

Then Jesus looked steadily at him and loved him; and he said, “For you, one thing is lacking. Go, sell what you have, and give the money to the poor; and you will have riches in heaven. Then, come, and follow me.” On hearing these words, his face fell and he went away sorrowful, for he was a man of great wealth.

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were shocked at these words, but Jesus insisted, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

They were more astonished than ever and wondered, “Who, then, can be saved?” Jesus looked steadily at them and said, “For human beings it is impossible, but not for God; all things are possible with God.”

Ugsa balitaw na dili nako gusto na madatu ako kay dili man kuno mahilangit an mga datu.

Balitaw, komedja ra! Uno ma’y tuod mayaot sa tawo na kuwartahan? Pinaningkamutan man nija na makatipon nan duro na kabtangan.

Dinhi sa ato Ebanghelyo kuman, gusto lamang seguro ipakita ni Jesus na kon sapian an tawo, dili na karajaw magpakabana ini sa ija isig’katawo hilabina sa mga pobre kay amo na ma’y permi nija atimanon an ija propedad, hilabina kon dili ini mahibayo mag-gahin nan para sa mga pobre na naginahanglan nan pag-amuma.

Seguro, waya gaju’y plano an kuwartahan na dinhi sa ato Ebanghelyo na motabang sa mga pobre kay notabikong man dajon sija pagakatapos sija sultihi na ibaligja nija an ija mga kabtangan despuwes itabang sa mga nanginahanglan.
