Lucas 18:24

24 E Jesus, vendo-o assim, disse: Quão dificilmente entrarão no reino de Deus os que têm riquezas!

Lucas 18:24 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:24

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful
As he might, by his looks and gestures; and perceived that he was determined not to part with his possessions, and follow him:

he said to his disciples, how hardly shall they that have riches
enter into the kingdom of God!
embrace the Gospel, and submit to the ordinances of it; deny themselves, part with their worldly substance for the cause of Christ, and interest of religion. Riches, which should be a reason for, are often a bar unto a profession of Christ, and his Gospel. This is delivered as an affirmation, or by way of assertion, (See Gill on Matthew 19:23).

Lucas 18:24 In-Context

22 Quando Jesus ouviu isso, disse-lhe: Ainda te falta uma coisa; vende tudo quanto tens e reparte-o pelos pobres, e terás um tesouro no céu; e vem, segue-me.

23 Mas, ouvindo ele isso, encheu-se de tristeza; porque era muito rico.

24 E Jesus, vendo-o assim, disse: Quão dificilmente entrarão no reino de Deus os que têm riquezas!

25 Pois é mais fácil um camelo passar pelo fundo duma agulha, do que entrar um rico no reino de Deus.

26 Então os que ouviram isso disseram: Quem pode, então, ser salvo?
