Luke 18:24-30

Luke 18:24-30

[24] And  when Jesus  that he  was  very sorrowful,  he said,  How  hardly  that have  riches  into  the kingdom  of God!  [25] For  easier  for a camel  to go  through  than  for a rich man  to enter  into  the kingdom  of God.  [26] And  they that heard  it said,  Who  then  can be  saved?  [27] And  he said,  The things which are impossible  with  men  possible  with  God.  [28] Then  Peter  said,  Lo,  have left  followed  [29] And  he said  unto them,  Verily  I say  no man  that  hath left  house,  or  parents,  or  brethren,  or  wife,  or  children,  the kingdom  of God's  sake,  [30] Who  receive  manifold more  in  present time,  and  in  the world  to come  life  everlasting. 

What does Luke 18:24-30 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Jesus continued talking with His disciples about the preceding conversation. However, Luke did not identify the disciples as those to whom Jesus spoke. This gives the impression that what Jesus said has relevance to all people including the readers, as it does.
