Verse 23
The case of this unbeliever had important significance for Jesus’ believing disciples. Rather than being a preview of divine eternal blessing, wealth could be a barrier to obtaining it. Jesus did not envy the rich, as most of His contemporaries did. He pitied them. [Note: Hiebert, p. 249.] Wealth does not exclude a person from the kingdom, but it gives him a handicap.
