Mark 10:22

And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

And {G1161} he was sad {G4768} at {G1909} that saying {G3056}, and went away {G565} grieved {G3076}: for {G1063} he had {G2192}{G2258} great {G4183} possessions {G2933}.

Shocked by this word, he went away sad; because he was a wealthy man.

But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.

But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions.
