This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 19:25. Ἀκούσαντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, κ.τ.λ., but when His disciples heard it, etc.) Scripture everywhere shows a middle path between excessive confidence and excessive timidity. See Mat 19:26; Mat 19:28; Mat 19:30; 1Pe 5:7, compared with 6, 8.-τίς ἄρα, κ.τ.λ., who then, etc.) The disciples were anxious, either for themselves, lest other obstacles should equally impede them, or because they entertained the hope of acquiring wealth (see Mat 19:27), or else for others: which fear is far more laudable. Cf. Rev 5:4.
