Context of Mark 10:26

24And 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. And they were exceedingly astonished, saying to one another, And who can be saved? 27But Jesus looking on them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God. 28Peter began to say to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
