Matthew XIX, 23, 24 — ‘εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν’ - ‘eis ten basileian’ - ‘into the Kingdom’.
Matthew XIX, 26 — ‘παρὰ ἀνθρώποις’ - ‘para anthropois’ - ‘at the vicinity of people’. ‘παρὰ δὲ θεῷ’ - ‘para de theo’ - ‘at the vicinity of God'. The preposition ‘para’ is here with the dative case. Here the Lord indicates that it is possible to distinguish between living in accordance with God's will, as being close to God, and not living in accordance with God's will, as being like (many) people.
