Mark 10:26

10:26 They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Then who can be saved?”

tn Grk “But they were even more astonished, saying.” The participle λέγονες (legontes) has been translated here as a finite verb to emphasize the sequence of events: The disciples were astonished, then they spoke.

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of thought.

sn The assumption is that the rich are blessed, so if they risk exclusion, who is left to be saved?
