When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
All Commentaries on Matthew 19:25 Go To Matthew 19
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
The disciples, being compassionate, did not ask this question for their own sake, for they were poor, but for all men. The Lord therefore teaches us not to gauge salvation by human weakness, but by God’s power. If one only begins to cease from greed, he will advance to reducing his excess, and from there he will proceed to eliminating even his necessities, and thus he will be prospered along the way by God acting in collaboration with him.
