| His disciples were amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? - If rich men, with all their advantages, cannot? Who? A poor man; a peasant; a beggar: ten thousand of them, sooner than one that is rich. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Who can be saved? - The question of the disciples seemed to intimate that most people were rich, and that therefore scarcely any could be saved. They certainly must have attached a different meaning to what constitutes a rich man, to what we in general do. Who is a rich man in our Lord's sense of the word? This is a very important question, and has not, that I know of, been explicitly answered. A rich man, in my opinion, is not one who has so many hundreds or thousands more than some of his neighbors; but is one who gets more than is necessary to supply all his own wants, and those of his household, and keeps the residue still to himself, though the poor are starving through lack of the necessaries of life. In a word, he is a man who gets all he can, saves all he can, and keeps all he has gotten. Speak, reason! Speak, conscience! (for God has already spoken) Can such a person enter into the kingdom of God? All, No!!! |
3 And [2532] he spake [2980] many things [4183] unto them [846] in [1722] parables [3850], saying [3004], Behold [2400], a sower [4687] went forth [1831] to sow [4687];
4 And [2532] when [1722] he [846] sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] seeds fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598], and [2532] the fowls [4071] came [2064] and [2532] devoured [2719] them [846] up [2719]:
5 Some [1161] [243] fell [4098] upon [1909] stony places [4075], where [3699] they had [2192] not [3756] much [4183] earth [1093]: and [2532] forthwith [2112] they sprung up [1816], because [1223] they had [2192] no [3361] deepness [899] of earth [1093]:
6 And [1161] when the sun [2246] was up [393], they were scorched [2739]; and [2532] because [1223] they had [2192] no [3361] root [4491], they withered away [3583].
7 And [1161] some [243] fell [4098] among [1909] thorns [173]; and [2532] the thorns [173] sprung up [305], and [2532] choked [638] them [846]:
8 But [1161] other [243] fell [4098] into [1909] good [2570] ground [1093], and [2532] brought forth [1325] fruit [2590], some [3739] [3303] an hundredfold [1540], [1161] some [3739] sixtyfold [1835], [1161] some [3739] thirtyfold [5144].
9 Who [3588] hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191].
16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672].
