Scottish theologian Jack Mahoney has characterized the saying of Jesus in Mark 10:23–27 as having "imprinted themselves so deeply on the Christian community through the centuries that those who are well off, or even comfortably off, often feel uneasy and troubled in conscience."
Teolog Skotlandia Jack Mahoney mengkarakterisasikan firman Yesus dalam Markus 10:23–27 "menekankan diri mereka sangat mendalam pada komunitas Kristen sepanjang berabad-abad bahwa orang-orang yang hidup kaya, atau bahkan hidup nyaman, seringkali merasa tak mudah dan terguncang dalam hati nurani."
