Jesus says it to his disciples after a rich young man walks away sad.

## The verse

> Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
>
> — [Matthew 19:26](https://www.lumin.faith/read/matthew/19#26) (Lumin Translation)

These exact words are in the King James Bible. The Lumin Translation, a modern English Bible, is quoted here, and it words the verse differently.

## What it means there

The disciples had asked who can be saved, if a rich man can hardly enter the kingdom. Jesus answers that people cannot save themselves, but God can. The “all things” starts with salvation.

## Also in the Bible

> Jesus looked straight at them and said, “For human beings it is impossible, but not for God, since everything is possible for God.”
>
> — [Mark 10:27](https://www.lumin.faith/read/mark/10#27) (Lumin Translation)
