Possessions and the Kingdom

23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth(A) to enter the kingdom of God!”(B)

24 The disciples were astonished at his words. Again Jesus said to them, “Children,(C) how hard it is[a] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich(D) person to enter the kingdom of God.”

27 Looking at them, Jesus said, “With man it is impossible,(F) but not with God, because all things are possible with God.”
