‏ Mark 10:27

Looking on them ( εμβλεψας αυτοις ). So in Mt 19:26. Their amazement increased (26).

But not with God ( αλλ' ου παρα θεω ). Locative case with παρα (beside). The impossible by the side of men ( παρα ανθρωποις ) becomes possible by the side of God. That is the whole point and brushes to one side all petty theories of a gate called needle's eye, etc.
