Context of Mark 10:24

22But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions. 23And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter into the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26And they were exceedingly astonished, saying to one another, And who can be saved?
