Context of Mark 10:27

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? But 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. 29Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, [or wife], or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,

Zeal to know the way to be saved is proper, nor is it possible that it should be too intense if well directed. Nothing else is so important, and nothing demands, therefore, so…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-31Verses 23-31 Christ took this occasion to speak to his disciples about the difficulty of the salvation of those who have abundance of this world. Those who thus eagerly seek the wealth of the world, will never rightly prize Christ and his grace. Also, as to the greatness of the salvation of those who have but little of this world, and leave it for Christ. The greatest trial of a good man's constancy is, when love to Jesus calls him to give up love to…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27People usually interpret this verse in one of two ways: Although salvation by one’s own effort is impossible, by God’s grace people can be saved through faith (see Ephesians 2:8–10). God can give an unusual grace that enables people to overcome their sinful love of riches and believe. Mark does not explain his understanding.Read the comment
