Contextual Overview

¹⁸ A certain leader asked Jesus, "Good Teacher, what must I do to have life forever?" ¹⁹ Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? Only God is good. ²⁰ You know the commands: ‘You must not be guilty of adultery. You must not murder anyone. You must not steal. You must not tell lies about your neighbor. Honor your father and mother.'" ²¹ But the leader said, "I have obeyed all these commands since I was a boy." ²² When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "There is still one more thing you need to do. Sell everything you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me." ²³ But when the man heard this, he became very sad, because he was very rich. ²⁴ Jesus looked at him and said, "It is very hard for rich people to enter the kingdom of God. ²⁵ 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 When the people heard this, they asked, "Then who can be saved?" ²⁷ Jesus answered, "The things impossible for people are possible for God."

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

a camel: Some render a cable; but it may justly be doubted whether ךבלחכןע [Strong's G2574] ever was so translated before, for the word for a cable, as the scholiast on Aristophanes expressly affirms, is written ךבליכןע, not with an "e" ח, but with an "i" י. Some few manuscripts, it is true, have got the word ךבליכןע into the text, but it is evidently an attempted improvement. Matthew 23:24

Reciprocal: Matthew 5:20 - ye Matthew 7:21 - shall Matthew 13:22 - the deceitfulness Matthew 19:24 - It Mark 10:25 - General Luke 1:53 - and Luke 8:14 - and are Luke 16:19 - rich 1 Corinthians 1:26 - not many mighty
