Bible Text
[23] Jesus said to his disciples, "Most assuredly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty. [24] Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God." [25] When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?" [26] Looking at them, Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
