Exegesis
The first prepositional phrase Para anthropois {Παρὰ ἀνθρώποις | Pará anthrṓ-pois} introduces the human sphere, with the dative plural marking the realm “with people” in which the neuter predicate adynaton {ἀδύνατον | a-dý-na-ton} “impossible” holds.
In context — Mark 10:27
Having looked at them, Jesus says, “With men it is impossible , but not with God ; for with God all things are possible.”
