²⁶“Then who has any chance at all?” the others asked.

²⁷“No chance at all,” Jesus said, “if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it.”

²⁶And those who heard it said, “^[a]Then who can be saved?” ²⁷But He said, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.”^(A)

Luke 18:26 The common opinion was that the wealthy had been blessed by God, and would probably enter the kingdom of God provided that they met all their financial obligations (tithes, offerings) to Him and were charitable to those less fortunate.

²⁶Those who heard this said, “Then who in the world can be saved?”

²⁷He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.”

²⁶And those who heard it said, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁷But He said, ^(A)“The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
