Matthew 19:27

"Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”"

Key Reflection

Jesus' statement highlights the difference between human limitations and divine capability. While humans may struggle to imagine or achieve certain miracles, for God, nothing is out of reach, emphasizing faith and the miraculous nature of divine intervention.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 27. We have forsaken all. Probably nothing but their fishing-nets, small boats, and cottages. But they were their all; their living, their home. And, forsaking them, they had as really shown their sincerity, as though they had possessed the gold of Ophir, and dwelt in the palaces of kings. What shall we have therefore? We have done as thou didst command this young man to do. What reward may we expect for it? {r} "Then answered" Mr 10:28; Lu 18:28 {s} "forsaken all" Php 3:8 __________________________________________________________________
