I think the other disciples were young boys. <BR/><BR/>In chapter 18 I'm again so thankful that verses 21 & 22 are in the same chapter and in the context of 15-17. Yes, we forgive them, but that doesn't mean that we don't confront them. <BR/><BR/>I found it surprising the the disciples are so astounded by what Jesus says about rich people. Again, I learned in the context of their day the rich were considered especially blessed by God.Pam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714625057049007949noreply@blogger.com
