Luke 18:26 In-Context

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."
28 Peter tried to regain some initiative: "We left everything we owned and followed you, didn't we?"
