Mark 10:25 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 19:25

It is easier for a camel (See Gill on Matthew 19:24).

Mark 10:25 In-Context

23 Looking at his disciples, Jesus said, "Do you have any idea how difficult it is for people who 'have it all' to enter God's kingdom?"
24 The disciples couldn't believe what they were hearing, but Jesus kept on: "You can't imagine how difficult.
25 I'd say it's easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for the rich to get into God's kingdom."
26 That set the disciples back on their heels. "Then who has any chance at all?" they asked.
27 Jesus was blunt: "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it."
