But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.Matthew 19:26 · King James Version
What Matthew 19:26 means
Jesus says this about a rich man getting into the kingdom, right after the camel and the needle's eye. The disciples were exceedingly amazed, which tells you they thought wealth helped. With men this is impossible is the half people skip. Salvation is impossible from our side, and that's the point being made.
