Many people always repeat the whole “it is easier for camel to pass than a rich man…” by Jesus yet I’ve literally never heard anyone mention what Jesus says immediately after that.

> "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
> Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19)

Why would Jesus make such a strong condemnation of wealth but then immediately walk it back by saying 'but with God all things are possible?' Why is the part never mentioned and completely ignored by everyone? I didn’t even know about it until last year. I’ve only ever seen people focus and talk about the camel part. And does anyone know what Jesus meant to be it?
