Commentary on Matthew 19:25

Theological / Devotional

Exceedingly amazed. The false concepts of the disciples concerning the nature of the kingdom of heaven (see on Luke 4:19) and concerning riches as a sign of divine favor (see on Luke 16:14) left them greatly puzzled at this categorical declaration.

Who then? If prestige, influence, and wealth are not evidences of divine favor, the disciples reasoned, those who lack these have even less chance.
