astonished
Or, amazed, that is, as Jews: knowing that temporal prosperity was, to the Jew as such, a token of divine favour. For example (Deu 28:1-12). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Jesus saith to them, Children - See how he softens the harsh truth, by the manner of delivering it! And yet without retracting or abating one tittle: How hard is it for them that trust in riches - Either for defence, or happiness, or deliverance from the thousand dangers that life is continually exposed to. That these cannot enter into God's glorious kingdom, is clear and undeniable: but it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man to have riches, and not trust in them. Therefore, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom. |
