Mark 10:25

Chinese Simplified CUNPSS Script Union (新标点和合本, 神版)

骆驼穿过针的眼，比财主进 神的国还容易呢。」

这是什么意思？

This verse says it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter heaven. Jesus is speaking, and he means that wealth can make it hard to focus on spiritual matters.

儿童解释

Imagine trying to fit a big camel through a tiny hole in a sewing needle! That's how hard it is for people with lots of money to think about God more than their riches. It’s like when you have so many toys that you forget to play with the ones you love most.

历史背景

Mark wrote this Gospel around AD 65-70, likely in Rome, for a mixed audience including Gentiles and Jews. Jesus uses hyperbole to emphasize the difficulty of wealth and faith.

今日应用
