27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
27 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
27 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God."
27 Jesus was blunt: "No chance at all if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you let God do it."
27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
27 Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 10:27
Commentary on Mark 10:23-31
(Read Mark 10:23-31)
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 friends and relatives. Even when gainers by Christ, let them still expect to suffer for him, till they reach heaven. Let us learn contentment in a low state, and to watch against the love of riches in a high one. Let us pray to be enabled to part with all, if required, in Christ's service, and to use all we are allowed to keep in his service.
