Mark 10:26 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:26

And they were astonished out of measure
They were still more amazed, their surprise increased exceedingly upon our Lord's using the above comparison; which, in their apprehension, showed, that it was utterly impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God; and they expressed their astonishment,

saying, among themselves, who then can be saved?
in the Messiah's kingdom, if rich men are not? (See Gill on Matthew 19:25). The Persic version renders it, "how can this man be saved?" as if the words had a particular respect to the young man, that had great possessions, and was gone away sorrowful.

25 Is it hard for a camel to go through the eye of a needle? It is even harder for the rich to enter God's kingdom!"

26 The disciples were even more amazed. They said to each other, "Then who can be saved?"

27 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man, that is impossible. But not with God. All things are possible with God."

28 Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!"
