Mark 10:26
And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
And they were astonished out of measure,.... They were still more amazed, their surprise increased exceedingly upon our Lord's using the above comparison; which, in their apprehension, showed, that it was utterly impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God; and they expressed their astonishment,
saying, among themselves, who then can be saved? in the Messiah's kingdom, if rich men are not? See Gill on "Matthew 19:25". The Persic version renders it, "how can this man be saved?" as if the words had a particular respect to the young man, that had great possessions, and was gone away sorrowful.
