Mark 10:26

26 They were utterly amazed and said to him, "Then who can be saved?"

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.

Mark 10:26 In-Context

24 The talmidim were astounded at these words; but Yeshua said to them again, "My friends, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God!

25 It's easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."

26 They were utterly amazed and said to him, "Then who can be saved?"

27 Yeshua looked at them and said, "Humanly, it is impossible, but not with God; with God, every thing is possible."

28 Kefa began saying to him, "Look, we have left everything and followed you."
