And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God!

And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, 'How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!'

Then looking round on His disciples Jesus said, "With how hard a struggle will the possessors of riches enter the Kingdom of God!"

And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

And Jesus, looking around, said to his disciples, "How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!"

Then Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for people of wealth to enter the kingdom of God!"

And Jesus looked round about,.... To see what effect the discourse he had with the young man, and the consequence of it, had upon his disciples; as also to raise their attention to what he was about, to say:
and saith unto his disciples, how hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! the Gospel dispensation, by embracing the doctrines, and submitting to the ordinances of it; See Gill on Matthew 19:23.

Christ took this occasion to speak to his disciples about the difficulty of the salvation of those who have abundance of this world. Those who thus eagerly seek the wealth of the world, will never rightly prize Christ and his grace. Also, as to the greatness of the salvation of those who have but little of this world, and leave it for Christ. The greatest trial of a good man's constancy is, when love to Jesus calls him to give up love to friends and relatives. Even when gainers by Christ, let them still expect to suffer for him, till they reach heaven. Let us learn contentment in a low state, and to watch against the love of riches in a high one. Let us pray to be enabled to part with all, if required, in Christ's service, and to use all we are allowed to keep in his service.

How hardly shall they that have riches. For notes on the Lord's words concerning riches, see Matthew 19:23-30. Compare Luke 18:24-30. Mark adds one sentence that furnishes the key to the interpretation of the whole discourse: "How hard it is for them that trust in riches," etc.
