Context of Mark 10:24

22When the man heard that, he looked unhappy and went away sad, because he owned a lot of property. 23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for rich people to enter God’s kingdom!” The disciples were stunned by his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter God’s kingdom! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.” 26This amazed his disciples more than ever. They asked each other, “Who, then, can be saved?”
