Possessions and the Kingdom
23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth 10:23 Ac 4:37; 8:18,20; 24:26to enter the kingdom of God! " 10:23 Mk 1:15
24 The disciples were astonished at his words. Again Jesus said to them, "Children, 10:24 Lk 1:7how hard it is 10:24 Other mss add for those trusting in wealthto enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich 10:25 Gn 24:35; Rv 2:9person to enter the kingdom of God."
26 They were even more astonished, saying to one another, "Then who can be saved? " 10:26 Ac 16:30; Eph 2:8
27 Looking at them, Jesus said, "With man it is impossible, 10:27 Heb 6:4but not with God, because all things are possible with God."
