NASB | Matthew 19:24 "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 19:24 "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man [who places his faith in wealth and status] to enter the kingdom of God." |
Bible Question: what does this verse mean: that it is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven. |
Bible Answer: Jesus didn't say that it was impossible for the rich to be saved. He is simply noting the same thing that Paul would later say in 1 Corinthians 1:26. The poor in spirit tend to look to God, not themselves. Huron |
