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 After he heard this, he became extremely sad, because he was very rich.
24 Seeing that he became sad, Jesus said, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."
26 Those who heard this asked, "Then who can be saved?"
27 He replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
