Matthew 19:26
Compare all
24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but awith God all things are possible.”  
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, awe have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”  
28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, ayou who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.  
29 aAnd everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother1 or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.  
30 aBut many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Matthew 19:26

With men this is impossible - God alone can take the love of the world out of the human heart. Therefore the salvation of the rich is represented as possible only to him: and indeed the words seem to intimate, that it requires more than common exertions of Omnipotence to save a rich man.
