25 I'd say it's easier to thread a camel through a needle's eye than get a rich person into God's kingdom."

Luke 18:25 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:25

For it is easier for a camel
These words were spoken to the disciples again, and were a second address to them, after they had shown astonishment at the former; (See Gill on Matthew 19:24) and (See Gill on Mark 10:24).

Luke 18:25 In-Context

23 This was the last thing the official expected to hear. He was very rich and became terribly sad. He was holding on tight to a lot of things and not about to let them go.

24 Seeing his reaction, Jesus said, "Do you have any idea how difficult it is for people who have it all to enter God's kingdom?

25 I'd say it's easier to thread a camel through a needle's eye than get a rich person into God's kingdom."

26 "Then who has any chance at all?" the others asked.

27 "No chance at all," Jesus said, "if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it."
